2. Core Engineering Advantages

· â€‹Triple-Barrier Defense Mechanism: Integrates three independent protection layers—galvanized zinc coating on the steel wires, specialized microcrystalline grease, and an impermeable extruded HDPE outer sheath—providing absolute immunity to corrosion.

· â€‹High-Tensile Structural Core: Built upon premium 1860 MPa low-relaxation 7-wire steel strands, delivering robust breaking load reliability and structural safety factors.

· â€‹Unbonded Flexibility & Efficiency: Allows smooth tendon movement during post-tensioning stressing operations while maintaining complete isolation from aggressive surrounding media.

· â€‹Full Metallurgical & Protective Traceability: Manufactured under strict ISO 9001 protocols. Each commercial shipment includes a comprehensive Mill Test Certificate (MTC) verifying mechanical strength, zinc coating mass, and sheath integrity.

​3. Industrial & Infrastructure Applications

​Engineered for heavy-load structures exposed to severe marine, chemical, or high-humidity environments:

· â€‹Marine & Coastal Engineering: Cross-sea bridges, port wharfs, piers, offshore platforms, and coastal retaining walls.

· â€‹Aggressive Industrial & Civil Structures: Wastewater treatment facilities, chemical processing plants, and structures exposed to heavy de-icing salts.

· â€‹High-Capacity Geotechnical Anchors: Permanent rock and soil anchor systems in corrosive groundwater conditions.

​4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​Q: Why combine galvanization with an unbonded grease/sheath system?

A: This dual-technology approach provides redundant protection (triple-barrier). Even if the outer HDPE sheath or grease layer is accidentally compromised during installation, the underlying galvanized zinc coating actively prevents rust formation.

​Q: Do these strands comply with international manufacturing standards?

A: Yes. The base steel strands and galvanization comply with ASTM A416 / BS 5896, and the grease/sheathing systems meet rigid PTI (Post-Tensioning Institute) performance specifications.

​Q: What is the standard export packaging and transport safety?

A: Coils are securely strapped, wrapped in heavy-duty moisture-proof materials, and palletized to prevent any physical abrasion or damage to the HDPE sheath during international containerized shipping.
