When subjected to 312 hours of salt fog spray testing, standard zinc-plated hardware exhibited severe corrosion while hardware with WeatherGuard™ protection withstood the harsh conditions with significantly less visible corrosion, proving to be more than 3X resistant to corrosion than the competition.
WeatherGuard™ testing is based on the American National Standard for Materials and Finishes (ANSI/BHMA A156.18 – 2006). Based on this test, hardware must withstand exposure for more than 96 hours without the base material or substrate exceeding corrosion standards.
