Specifications of Our Diverse Tubing Products
Finishes
Each diameter can be coated in one of four ways. The plastic-coated finishes are typically a thicker finish, which has a softer feel when compared to powder-coated metal handles. The powder-coated finish has a much higher gloss and more durable finish than the plastic-coated metal handles.
Standard Plastic-Coated Finish – A coating of Impact Co-polymer is applied over the tube in thicknesses ranging from .010 to .045 thick. The appearance is a flat, low gloss finish. A variety of stock colors is available, as well as custom colors. The standard plastic coating can have profiles that are smooth or ribbed.
High Gloss Plastic-Coated Finish – A thin layer of clarified polypropylene of .001 - .003” thick is applied over the standard plastic coating. The appearance is a medium/high gloss finish.
Wood Grain Plastic-Coated Finish – A technique is used to blend different resins and colors to approximate the look of wood.
Powder-Coated Finish – A baked-on powder paint that is a full gloss coating. This is available in a variety of stock colors as well as custom or special formulations. The appearance is a very high gloss finish. Special powder paint formulations can be applied for an alternative finish, such as a texture, antiqued, or hammered appearance.
Online labeling capabilities are available for customized labeling of the metal handles.
