  • Surface Treatment

    We have both galvanized pickets and black bitumen coated star pickets. You can choose an appropriate surface treatment according to your specific application and requirements. The advantages of black bitumen coated surface treatment and hot dip galvanized surface are respectively shown as follows.

    • Black bitumen coated

      It is suitable for high temperature, humidity, chemical, air pollution, seasides and other corrosive environments.

      Benefits

      • Short drying period;
      • Great corrosion resistance and excellent weather resistance.

    • Hot-dip galvanized

      Hot dip galvanizing is the process of applying a protective zinc coating on star pickets. Place the star pickets in a molten zinc bath after the product manufacturing finished so that all edges of the product are protected by the coating.
