· ​Superior Multi-Layer Corrosion Protection: Each strand is uniformly coated with specialized anti-corrosion grease and tightly encased in a seamless, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath to prevent moisture and chemical attack.
· ​Optimized Low-Relaxation Performance: Advanced thermal-mechanical stabilization minimizes long-term stress loss, securing stable prestressing force retention over extended commercial lifecycles.
· ​Enhanced Flexibility in Construction: Unbonded tendons allow for easy stressing and positioning during construction, making them ideal for complex flat-slab and waffle-slab designs.
· ​Full Traceability & Certification: Manufactured under stringent ISO 9001 protocols. Each commercial shipment includes a detailed Mill Test Certificate (MTC) verifying mechanical performance and coating thickness.
​Engineered for modern high-load structural floor systems and geotechnical projects:
· ​Commercial & Residential Buildings: High-rise office buildings, multi-story parking structures, and flat-plate concrete floor systems.
· ​Industrial Structures: Large-span industrial floor slabs, foundations, and heavy-duty storage platforms.
· ​Geotechnical Engineering: Rock and soil anchor systems, slope stabilization, and foundation tie-backs.
​Q: What materials are used for the grease and protective sheath?
A: We use specialized microcrystalline wax-based anti-corrosion grease that remains stable across wide temperature ranges, encased in a tough, UV-resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) extrusion sheath meeting PTI specifications.
​Q: Do these unbonded strands comply with ASTM A416?
A: Yes. The base steel strand complies strictly with ASTM A416 Grade 270 (or equivalent international standards), while the protective coating and sheathing meet relevant PTI and ASTM requirements.
​Q: What is the standard packaging and container load?
A: Coils are securely strapped, wrapped in protective materials, and palletized to prevent damage to the plastic sheath during transit. A standard 20ft container loads approximately 20 to 27 metric tons.
