Steel Tubing that Outperforms and Outlasts

Gatorshield is our patented triple layer Flo-Coat® rust and corrosion resistant product protection that has demonstrated to be the best over the long haul versus all competitive product offerings. When rust and corrosion protection is needed - Gatorshield is "Gator Tough." In addition, our zinc interior coating provides the inside of the tube with maximum corrosion and rust protection. Inside and out - Gatorshield is the best - and has been the best product choice for over 30 years.

Gatorshield is a step above our traditional Flo-Coat product, demonstrating a thicker layer of zinc protection for extended longevity in highly corrosive environments. Best of all, Gatorshield is processed utilizing 99.99% pure zinc alloy with significantly less harmful lead content than generally encountered with pregalvanized or hot-dipped products. This means that lead oxide fumes during welding are kept to an absolute minimum.

Gatorshield's meets a minimum strength characteristic of 50,000 yield/55,000 tensile, reaching a maximum of 60,000 yield/75,000 tensile.

Compared to the alternatives, Gatorshield performs extremely well in terms of fabrication properties:
