COST vs PERFORMANCE
MacLean Power offers two alternatives to stainless steel hardware. The options provide hardware with improved corrosion resistance over hot dip galvanizing, but at a significantly lower cost than stainless steel.
The protection methods available from MacLean Power balance cost with corrosion resistance to maximize the application’s benefit versus cost.
GOOD: Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG)
Compare the options
Greenkote® Thermal Diffusion Galvanizing (TDG)
Construction
- A coating of zinc with alloyed elements
- Process produces a harder coating which results in improved corrosion resistance over HDG
- Dark gray color

Dark Gray Color
Current Applications
- Multiple large utilities are already using TDG
TransArmour (TA) Polymer Coating
Construction
- Hardware is coated with two protective coatings that provide a long service life
- Top coat is a proprietary polymer exclusive to MacLean Power
- Under coat is traditional hot dip galvanizing (HDG)
- Bolts are silver color
- Square nuts are hot dip galvanized and over-coated in Teflon (black color)
TransArmour Polymer Coating
Two protective coatings provide a long service life
Galvanized and TransArmour Layers
MacLean’s TransArmour-coated hardware is the better economical choice because the standard carbon steel is protected by two layers:
• First layer is traditional hot dip galvanizing
• Second layer is a proprietary polymer from TransArmour
Teflon Nuts
Teflon coated nuts for TransArmour coated hardware ensure years of serviceability.
Current Applications
Similar two coating systems are used in several industries including:
-
- Transmission lattice towers
- Automotive
- Petrochemical industry
