The pressure that is applied during the coating process causes zinc formations to push outwards on the coated steel over time. The "fuzz" that coats galvanised steel is what is referred to as zinc whiskers.  These small zinc particles accumulate and can get pulled into the electrical equipment causing short circuits and faults. Avoid zinc whiskers altogether by choosing a...

hen we first started making feeder pillars, we decided not to bother copying the usual galvanised pillars, but to concentrate on perfecting the manufacture of cost-effective stainless steel feeder pillars.
