Traditional thinking considers the failure of a fastener coating by the evidence of red rust.  The truth is the failure of the fastened joint actually begins with the initiation of white rust.  White rust is zinc oxide that occurs when the zinc coating begins to oxidize and deteriorate.  As this white film begins, the surface integrity and mass of the fastener is being reduced.  Red rust is the final indicator of corrosion.  Spotnails Xtreme Guard process has tested to go over 5000 hours in a salt spray testing before white or red rust is detected!

Xtreme-Guard is specially formulated coating system, consisting of metallic zinc and aluminum flakes are a property inorganic oxide matrix.  It provides galvanic and barrier protection, and is self-repairing of damaged areas.  The primary benefits are excellent corrosion resistance to ultraviolet light and excellent adhesion in a thin, even layer.

The finish technology has proven itself in other industries, and now has been adapted for the construction industry to provide unmatched corrosion resistance for fasteners with the Spotnails "Xtreme-Guard" label.
