Forgefix Threaded Rod Zinc Plated Steel M16 Bar 1m
MPN: FORROD16
Code: ROD16
Barcode: 5028485862147
Product Overview:
This Forgefix M16 threaded rod is constructed from premium zinc-plated steel, offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. This threaded rod is designed to be used with products such as drop-in anchors and masonry anchor shields. It is ideal for lightweight chemical fixing applications that require non-standard sizes.
Additionally, it’s widely used in industries such as soft furnishing, where robust timber connections are necessary, and in the manufacturing of playground equipment and climbing walls. The zinc plating not only enhances the rod’s lifespan by preventing oxidation but also forms a protective barrier.
Even if this barrier is compromised, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, shielding the underlying metal. Unlike iron oxide, the resulting zinc oxide forms a stable, non-corrosive layer that helps maintain surface integrity, much like the protective layers found on stainless steel and aluminium.
Key Features:
- Robust Zinc-Plated Steel Construction: Provides long-lasting performance with enhanced resistance to corrosion.
- Applications: Suitable for use in chemical fixing, timber connections, and various industrial and manufacturing tasks.
- Protective Zinc Coating: This creates a barrier against oxidation, extending the rod’s service life even in challenging conditions.
