A more sustainable solution!
Not only does it offer better protection than HDG, but it also involves a more sustainable production process! Find out more below!
How does it compare to HDG?
The products using a Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 (BUP 1000) coating offer higher corrosion resistance than HDG. They can effortlessly withstand a salt spray test of at least 1000 hours (according to ISO 9227), whereas hot dip galvanized products withstand only up to 300-600 hours.
Despite a relatively thin protective layer, the corrosion resistance is high. The products from the Walraven BIS UltraProtect® 1000 system have a smooth finish and products with threaded holes or rod are also well protected against corrosion.
