Just curious, but in products like the green corrosion-resistant nails, what is that green coating? Is it even a coating or are the nails green all the way through? Is this just an aesthetic thing or is "green" better than galvanized now?
I would think nails are dunked in a large tank & coated or sprayed then drip dry or heated drying. Funny thing the name Easyfix, same name used for rubber matting for cows. http://www.easyfix.ie/
Yeah, screwfix brand names eh? "Erbauer" makes me chuckle. The marketing team must have been looking for something that sort-of sounds German and buildery. But "he builds" would surely be "erbaut". "He to build" is just wrong. I suspect the green is electrogalvanization, but that's just a wild guess.
Maybe something like: http://www.surtec.com/en/products/p...s-63/surtec-680-chromitierung-chromiting-291/ Dunno. I'm also curious why they're four times the price of regular galvanized.
