What is GatorShield?

Allied Tube - GatorShield Logo     Gatorshield is a high quality galvanized steel tubing manufactured by Allied Tube and Conduit, which is used by TARP-RITE Inc., in the manufacturing of the Double Frame Trussed Hoops in our line of Arch-Span buildings

     Gatorshield is a patented triple layer Flo-Coat® rust and corrosion resistant product protection that has demonstrated to be the best over the long haul versus all competitive product offerings. When rust and corrosion protection is needed - Gatorshield is "Gator Tough".  In addition, the zinc interior coating provides the inside of the tube with maximum corrosion and rust protection.

     Inside and out - Gatorshield is the best - and has been the best product choice for over 30 years!

How does Gatorshield compare with the competition
in terms of rust and corrosion protection?

     OD and ID corrosion resistance was monitored by Allied Tube & Conduit on an ongoing basis using salt spray testing.  Random samples were prepared and exposed to 5% salt fog at 95°F. These samples were examined at regular intervals until a pre-determined end point was reached. Typical end points were the first signs of white rust and first signs of red rust.
