FoxGard Structural Components
The wall and bracing system is literally the backbone of any swimming pool. Fox uses heavy gauge steel, the unquestioned preferred material whenever great strength is required.Steel will not crack or split due to earth movement or temperature changes. And, it withstands the powerful pressures of earth and water on pool side walls. But Fox takes a forward step to ensure lasting value: each pre-galvanized steel component is totally encapsulated with a special powder coating, fusion-bonded to the steel at 400 F to seal out rust and corrosion.
Each component is surrounded inn a mist of epoxy particles, electrostatically applied, prior to the bonding process at 400 F in a special oven.
FoxGard Components Give You These Benefits:
- Total coverage includes corners, edges, and welds.
- Fusion-bonding to preglvanized steel means a strong union for lasting protection.
- State-of-the-art electrostatic application prevents drips, sags or other surface imperfections.
- Low thermal conductivity with an insulating property that gives the FoxGard components a warm effect.
- The surfaces of FoxGard components resist chipping, cracking or marring.
- FoxGard components can pass a salt spray test of 2500 hours per ASTN B117-73.
FoxGard Process Proved in Action!
Many products on today's market are now protected by the powder coating process. It is especially used when steel is the best material of choice and where there is a need for lasting protection from rust and corrosion.- Truck fenders
- Military applications
- Piping in the oil industry
- Stadium seats
- Outdoor furniture
- Water meters
- Vehicle beds
- Recreational Equipment
Be sure that any steel product you buy today, especially if you plan to use it outdoors, has the added layer of protection only available with today's superior powder coatings.
Fox begins with heavy gauge galvanized steel and ends with a FoxGard component. Note that edges and predrilled holes are fully protected.
