Our industry leading warranty isn’t the only thing that separates us from other manufactures. All Saratoga Stalls are stalls are hot dipped galvanized and powder coated. Here’s why we do it.
Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of immersing fabricated steel into a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of roughly 840˚F. Once dipped, the steel reacts with the molten zinc to form a series of zinc-iron alloy layers, which together with the outer zinc layer, are metallurgically bonded to the steel surface. This process ensures a uniform, corrosion protective coating on all surfaces, even on those areas not normally accessible to mechanical applicators.
This creates an extremely durable and long-lasting product. Galvanized coatings on steel can last in excess of 50 years, continually protecting steel against corrosive elements.
Additionally, less maintenance is required. Hot dipped galvanized stalls are self-maintaining, thicker, and because they last longer, maintenance costs are inevitably lower.
All our stalls undergo hot-dip galvanization AFTER manufacturing. This process guarantees that both the steel components of the stall and the welds are fully protected against the elements, ensuring maximum durability and longevity.
Bottom line, there’s a major difference between lower quality stalls and stalls that have gone though the hot-dip galvanizing process. The costs of maintaining stalls that have not been treated with the process is much higher compared to ones that have.
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, power coating is applied electrostatically and cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. This method is used to create a thick, hard finish that is much tougher than conventional paint.
Additionally, the powder coating application and drying processes create a finish unmatched by any other paint product. Because the powder melts and reforms as a solid, it creates a smooth surface without and drips or runs. It’s perfect, every time.
And because the powder is free of toxic chemicals and solvents, the process is known to be much safer for the environment, and inevitability your horse.
We offer over 100 powder coating colors to best fit your personal needs with the most vibrant, unique and durable powder coating that will last decades.
Additionally, we use FDA-compliant TIGER Drylac® polyester/epoxy-based powder coat in varieties suited to your specific needs. Stalls and metals destined for heavy daily use are no problem for TIGER Drylac®. In addition, there is even a chemical resistant series for areas where corrosion resistance is required and an electrostatic dissipative coating for equipment that builds up a static charge.
