Black Coated Hex Nuts

Black Coated Hex Nuts

The Hillman exterior black coated hex nuts are engineered to offer superior durability and protection for outdoor applications. These hex nuts are available in three core sizes: 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2", to accommodate a variety of construction needs.

A significant feature of these hex nuts is their advanced four-layer protection system, designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. This system includes:

1. One Zinc Coating: The initial layer is a zinc coating that provides a robust base for corrosion resistance, safeguarding the metal against rust when exposed to moisture and other corrosive elements.

2. Three Epoxy Coatings: Atop the zinc layer are three epoxy coatings that enhance the nut's durability. These coatings are specially formulated to resist cracking, chipping, and peeling, ensuring the nuts maintain their integrity and appearance over time.

3. Durable Protective Finish: The final layer is a durable protective finish that seals the previous layers and provides a hard shell against physical abrasions and further enhances corrosion resistance.

This four-layer protection ensures that the hex nuts maintain their structural and aesthetic quality, even when exposed to sun, temperature variations, rain, snow, sap, and chemicals commonly found in treated lumber. The black color of these coatings is not only practical for protection but also offers a seamless and polished look that complements all wood colors, making these hex nuts a go-to choice for decking, fencing, and other exterior wood projects where longevity and finish are critical.
