New Eco-Friendly Steel

Published Wednesday, September 16, 2009

We are extremely excited to offer a brand new way to manufacture your steel fabrication parts. A new process called "Eco Pickled Surface" is being applied to sheet steel. This is an environmentally-friendly replacement for acid pickling that produces clean, rust-resistant surface while creating savings for flat rolled steel users. With the absence of the oils found in the typical HRPO sheet steel, the Eco Pickled steel eliminates fumes from welding and lasering process making it safer for our workers and the environment. Not only is it safer during our thermal processes, it offers a cleaner surface for paint adhesion. This minimizes the use of degreasing agents used in paint preparation, which further impacts the environment in a positive direction. This process occurs after the steel is manufactured so it doesn't affect the steel's chemistry, allowing you to order the same grades and specs of steel you are accustomed to. The availabilitiy of this new material will allow us to keep focusing our efforts on reducing our carbon footprint and minimizing costs to our customers. If you are interested in more details of this process please call or email one of our representatives or check out this informative brochure.
