TRIPACFASTENERSFOR THE WATER WORKS AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIESTRIPAC 2000 BLUE COATING SYSTEMBolts protected with TRIPAC 2000 BLUE COATING SYSTEM show no signs of corrosion after1,000 hours of salt spray testing (ASTM-B-117). Plain steel, zinc plated, and hot dip galvanizedbolts all show significant degrees of corrosion and rust.Tripac’s unique coating system encompasses careful surface preparation whichincludes abrasive blasting prior to being treated with a baked aerocote zinc/nickel primer. All fasteners are then electrostatically sprayed with multiple coats of TRIPAC 2000 BLUE, andbaked at 425 degrees.TRIPAC 2000 BLUE is a fluoropolymer coating which combines a wide range of mechanical and chemical properties ideally suited to the wide range of fasteners used inwater works applications. It offers low friction, abrasion resistance, corrosion and chemicalprotection. Fasteners are easily tightened and removed.Safety is improved and costs are lowered because in most cases the fasteners can beremoved with a wrench instead of using a cutting torch. Even after 3,000 hours in salt spraytesting, nuts are still easily removed.TRIPAC FASTENERS, A DIVISION OF TRIPAC MARKETING, INC.475 Klug Circle, Corona, CA 92880 (951) 280-4488 Fax (951) 272-4445 www.tripaconline.comASTM A307, GR A BOLTS AFTER 1,000 HOURS OF SALT SPRAY TESTINGTRIPAC 2000 BLUE PLAIN STEEL ZINC PLATED HOT DIP GALVANIZED
