Port Lumber Corp. carries hot-dipped galvanized hardware. Hot-dipped galvanization is a process in which metal is immersed in molten zinc. During galvanization, the molten zinc reacts with the iron in the steel to form a series of zinc/iron alloy layers. The hardness of these inner layers provides exceptional protection against coating damage through abrasion, damage caused by rough handling during transportation, and at the job site as well during its service life.

Hot-dipped galvanized products require very little to no maintenance, providing a vastly increased lifespan as a result of superior corrosion protection. Environments in which galvanized steel and iron are commonly used include indoor and outdoor atmospheres, the storage of hundreds of different chemicals, in fresh water, sea water, soils, and/or concrete. Port Lumber Corp. also has 316 grade stainless steel deck screws.

Port Lumber stocks 6% open area woven monofilament geotextile fabric. Filter cloth can have many uses. Some of them are listed below.

• Bulkheads
• Under riprap or concrete revetment systems for channel, shoreline waterway protection
• Subsurface drainage systems in problematic soils
• Drainage/filtration/collection systems in landfills
• Spillways and swales

Port Lumber Corp. has two types of end coat:

• Anchorseal creates a wax barrier that protects against end checking and costly degradation in freshly sawn logs and lumber and is used with most tropical species.
  Anchorseal is known in the forest products industry as the best quality and most stable wax emulsion end sealer available.
• Kop-Coat is an end coat that is used as a field treatment on saw cuts of treated lumber and piling. Apply Kop-Coat directly to the saw cuts for preservative treatment without pressure.
