Galvanized

Hot dipped galvanized is an extremely durable and low cost finish option. The bike racks are hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication and then hand ground to ensure a clean, safe surface. Unless otherwise noted, a hot dipped galvanized finish is included in the cost of all Dero products. We suggest using galvanized or stainless steel in locations where snow removal and corrosion are an issue.

Powder Coat

FOR EXACT MATCH PLEASE CONSULT AN RAL COLOR BOOK.

Powder coating provides a durable finish using a solvent-free process that is better for the environment than liquid paints. If our 15 standard colors aren't enough we can match to over 250 custom colors.

Thermoplastic

Surface preparation for applying a thermoplastic finish is the same as is done with powder coating. Unlike powder coating, no primer is required. The thickness of the thermoplastic finish is more than powder coating, typically from 8 – 10 mils. In addition to an increased thickness, the thermoplastic finish offers superior impact resistance over powder coating.

Stainless

Stainless steel is the most beautiful and durable option. We use a 304 grade stainless steel which will continue to look new and attractive for many years.

PVC Dip

Dero offers a rubbery, durable PVC coating in a range of colors on many models of bike racks. A rust-inhibiting pre-treatment is applied to the underlying steel before being dipped in UV-stabilized PVC. The coating is subsequently cured to produce a colorful coating that offers excellent protection against abrasion, impact, and corrosion. The PVC coating can be applied to galvanized racks to provide an even greater level of corrosion protection. Due to the special pre-treatment, the coating will not peel off the rack even if it is slit with a knife.

Black is the standard color for PVC dipping. We can also match hundreds of Pantone colors, Contact us for minimum order requirements and availability.
