5 Advantages of Air-Wiped Rebar
1. Air Wiping Enables Easy Fabrication
Even after galvanizing, the air-wiping process enables fabrication. What does this mean for workability? It means you don’t have to worry about extensive cracking and flaking. No need for concern because air-wiped rebar can be cold-worked with minimal issues.
In addition, because you’re using materials that have gone through the hot-dip galvanizing process, you don’t have to worry about durability. With a protective layer of corrosion-resistant zinc, your project will stand the test of time for decades to come.
2. You Don’t Have to Worry About Lost Materials
Lost materials don’t just eat into your profits; they disrupt your timeline as well. When you’re working on a major project for the transportation or construction industry, you know that finishing the project on time and within budget is vital to success.
Because air-wiped rebar can be tagged in your shop, it not only streamlines the sorting process but improves turnaround time. The tags help ensure that you can easily keep track of all your materials and easily sort them as needed.
3. You Know the True Cost
Ever started working on a project, only to discover that the price you quoted is no longer relevant due to mistakes or unexpected expenses? When you select South Atlantic Reinforcing’s air-wiped rebar, you know the true standard cost per foot. This means you can provide quotes with confidence—even on quick rush orders.
4. Streamlined Efficiency
You don’t have to worry about any special handling when it comes to the advantages of air-wiped rebar. Our smooth finish and uniform bars can easily be installed like black bar. This streamlines your operations without sacrificing quality
Our air-wiped bendable reinforcing bar is one of a kind. We’re the only galvanizer that supplies this bendable reinforcing bar that meets the ASTM standards 1094, 123, and 767.
5. It’s Safer
Ensuring safety is imperative, not just for the welfare of your workforce, but also for the seamless efficiency of your operations.
Our air-wiped rebar does not have the razor-sharp edges and spikes seen with traditional rebar. Not only does this make them easier to handle, but it also reduces the likelihood of injuries.
Other Benefits of Air-wiped Rebar
Did you know that galvanizing is UV stable? This means it can remain exposed at job sites almost indefinitely. In addition, it requires a minimal amount of field touchup in comparison to Epoxy.
