LONGER LASTING THAN HDG  IN 

CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Go green with Galv360, which does not produce harmful 
environmental or health & safety effects like older galvanizing 
processes. Galv360:

Is completely heavy metal free and non-toxic (RoHS  and 
REACH compliant)

Earned the EPA’s MVP2 award (Most Valuable Pollution  
Prevention technology)

Is user-friendly and controllable

Less dangerous to apply than alternatives  (HDG and 
Sherardizing)

Provides a viable replacement for harmful corrosion  
prevention treatments that are no longer available          
(Cadmium, Hexavalent Chrome, etc.)

Uses less than half the energy per Kg of product coated as 
compared to HDG

SUSTAINABILITY & SAFETY

Military

 

US Navy has equipped its hovercraft fleet 
with grade 120, Galv360-coated chain
US Army has retrofitted landing craft with 
Galv360-coated anchor chains and bow chains

Marine

 

Harsh marine environments accelerate corrosion and 
abrasion, making Galv360 the ideal solution

Power Generation

 

Major power utilities in the US specify Galv360 
as a replacement to HDG and stainless steel, 
signaling an industry-wide transition

Other

 

F

or swing sets, playground equipment, or any 

application requiring exceptional protection from the 
elements or heavy use

Laclede Chain can finish any length of chain up to 
100 ft with Galv360

The Galv360 process is based on a proprietary alloy of zinc, 
which turns to gas at a relatively low temperature, causing the 
zinc to react with the steel at the molecular level. Instead of 
simply coating it, Galv360 alters the physical properties of the 
steel to create layers of intermetallic zinc/iron alloy, forming:

A strong chemical bond between the zinc and the steel
A uniform and controlled alloy layer that coats internal 
surfaces of the part just like it does the external surface

With HDG, nuts are cut after galvanizing, leaving the 
inside thread unprotected

Higher hardness and abrasion resistance than HDG, while 
preserving richer iron content that provides superior 
corrosion resistance

We partnered with Assured Testing Services, an independent 
third party, to conduct a long-term salt spray test* comparing 
the performance of Galv360 to hot-dip galvanizing (HDG).
