ZINC-TOUGH TECHNOLOGY – A new concept of corrosion resistance for the Marine and Aquaculture Markets
Global aquaculture production has increased in recent years and it is predicted that aquaculture will provide the most reliable supply of sustainable seafood in the future. With this in mind and as farms are being sited in more exposed sites further offshore, it is critically important to have robust and reliable mooring solutions that can withstand the harsh conditions faced by Fish Farms in these environments.
Environmental impacts are both an ongoing challenge and important consideration in building and operating aquaculture facilities. It’s an issue that requires ongoing scrutiny and innovative new solutions. Moorings are of upmost significance to the fish farming activities. Without a robust and reliable mooring your valuable fish pens are exposed to the mercy of the vigorous and unpredictable ocean.
Here at William Hackett Chain Products, in co-operation with our partners McKinnon Chain, we have developed a high-strength, high-quality and corrosion resistant chain that will not only withstand the harsh conditions, but more importantly have a positive impact on the environmental issues faced by using other material finishes.
Zinc-Tough Technology is an innovation that applies a zinc layer to the product which significantly reduces the speed at which corrosion occurs. Marine Grade 8 Chain – designed for long term marine based requirements. Zinc Thermal Diffusion is an environmentally friendly process – a non-toxic, heavy metal free process with minimal waste.
*Resisting hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking.
*Zinc-Tough Technology coating giving corrosion resistance.
*Suitable for operating temperatures -50 degrees C.
