• A36 mild (carbon) steel with these finishes:

Shop cleaned (SP3) and red-oxide primed. This is our standard finish.
Sandblasted to white metal (SP10) and primed with an inorganic zinc primer. Cathacoat 302 (also known as Devoe 302) is the primary inorganic zinc primer we use. This is a premium finish available at an additional cost.
Specialized paint / primer finishes are available at an additional cost. Custom paints may significantly increase the product price, since the paint systems cannot be re-used on other jobs.
Galvanizing is another premium finish available at an additional cost. This finish option also adds at least two weeks to the lead time.

• Drawings and release letters are available for submission for classing agency review.

• It is the responsibility of the customer to verify which certification requirements (i.e. ABS, USCG, DNV, SOLAS) apply to their vessel, and to check with their local governing agency as to the requirements for certifications for all of the items quoted, based on the use for each item on the vessel, and the location of each item as installed on the vessel. Depending on the requirements of the governing agency, additional testing at the manufacturing plant may be required. A separate fee will be charged for any testing.
