Galvanizing GuidelinesSlipNOT® strongly recommends that galvanizing be provided by us or contracted directly with Voight & Schweitzer Galvanizers in Redford, MI. If the SlipNOT® surface is galvanized by a third party the following guidelines must be observed. The W.S. Molnar Company is not liable for damage to the SlipNOT® surface by third parties. For ambient temperature hydrochloric acid solutions Acid Pickling Times should not exceed ten (10) minutes. (Heated sulfuric acid solutions) are not recommended and, if used, should not exceed a minute or so immersion. Care should be taken that rack loading allows for sufficient spacing between items so that the heat of the pickling process does not create “hot spots” within the pickling tanks and damage to the SlipNOT® surface. SlipNOT® also recommends any additional steel, such as stringers, support angles, stiffeners, etc., be shot or sand blasted prior to attachment to SlipNOT® surfaced materials. These pieces should be de-scaled and rust free prior to submission to the galvanizer. SlipNOT® also strongly recommends that all material be protected from humidity and (must) be protected from the elements. Surface rust will require sufficient acid pickling to allow for proper galvanizing, and excess acid exposure will result in damage to the SlipNOT® surface. Keep material inside and wrapped to prevent surface rust from forming. Care must be taken in the pickling portion of the hot dipped galvanizing process as the SlipNOT® surface may lift off if pickling times exceed recommendations. Because of this, SlipNOT® strongly recommends that galvanizing be provided by us or contracted directly with: Voight & Schweitzer Galvanizers, Inc. V&S Galvanizers is familiar with proper handling of SlipNOT® material. If you have questions or require test-galvanizing samples, please call (800) 754-7668 or (313) 923-0400.
