What are Square Twist Nails made from?
Manufactured in various materials and supplied form Fusion Fixings with a galvanised version and sheradised version.
Sheradised square twist nails
Sheradised nails resist corrosion due to the sheradised process. This process sees the material heated to a high temperature and placed into a rotating drum along with Zinc dust. The overall temperatures are kept high and with the rotation of the drum, the zinc evaporates and binds to the materials surface giving it a level of resistance to corrosion.
Sheradising offers one advantage in that it allows for a much more robust and complete coverage to the steel due to the vaporisation process. This allows for less weak areas where there is a reduced amount of corrosion resistance.
Glavanised square twist nails
Galvanised nails offer a level of corrosion resistance due to the galvanising process. This sees the nails dipped into a hot zinc material that coats the nails. Due to the temperature, the coating becomes an inherent part of the steel offering a robust resistant coating.
