Rust Protection Screws
Raytec Manufacturing has been serving the building industry since 1956. Specializing in fasteners for seamless gutter applications, Raytec utilizes an in house salt spray testing lab to test screws in accordance with ASTM –B117 specifications. Screws include the 200-hour Gold Color Zinc (photo) designed for outdoor use. They provide up to 10 times the red rust protection versus the common silver zinc screws intended for indoor use. The product was tested in an environmentally controlled salt spray chamber using ASAT B117 standards. Rezist Extended Life ceramic coated screws feature three layers of ceramic baked on at high temperatures. This product has very good corrosion resistance in most weather conditions. The 410 Stainless Steel provides the best resistance to corrosion in a variety of weather conditions. It contains just enough carbon alloys to maintain sharp threads, points and add strength and be magnetic. All screws are magnetic 1/4 hex head with washers, and come in all popular colors and sizes.For more information, call 877-800-2500.
