· ​ASTM A882 & ASTM A416 Compliance: Manufactured strictly to meet international mechanical requirements alongside the rigorous coating continuity and bond performance standards for epoxy-coated prestressing steel.
· ​Impenetrable Chemical Barrier: The uniform fusion-bonded epoxy layer provides an exceptional shield against aggressive chlorides, de-icing salts, acids, and saltwater infiltration.
· ​Heavy-Duty Load-Bearing Capacity: The 140.0 mm² cross-section and 260.7 kN minimum breaking load deliver the robust tensile strength required for massive bridge spans and structural tie-downs.
· ​Enhanced Coating Integrity: Engineered for superior impact resistance and flexibility, ensuring the protective resin shield remains intact during handling, installation, and grouting operations.
​Engineered for heavy-load structures exposed to severe corrosive environments under ASTM design frameworks:
· ​Bridge Infrastructure: Highway and railway bridge decks, segmental box girders, pier caps, and stay cables subjected to marine air or de-icing chemicals.
· ​Marine & Coastal Engineering: Offshore platforms, port wharfs, piers, and cross-sea bridge foundation tie-downs.
· ​Heavy Geotechnical Works: Permanent high-capacity ground anchors, rock slopes, and dam stabilization in aggressive groundwater.
​Q: Do these 15.2mm epoxy-coated strands comply with ASTM A882 specifications?
A: Yes. Our 15.24mm strands are produced and tested in strict compliance with ASTM A882 (coating) and ASTM A416 (base steel mechanical properties), ensuring full acceptance by global engineering consultants.
​Q: Does the epoxy coating affect the structural bonding performance?
A: The specialized surface profile and coating formulations are engineered to maintain sufficient mechanical or structural interlock with cementitious grout or concrete as specified by project engineering designs.
​Q: What is the standard export packaging and transport safety?
A: Coils are carefully wrapped with heavy-duty padding and protective materials, secured with high-tensile steel strapping, and palletized to prevent any impact or abrasion to the epoxy layer during international containerized transit.
