Hot-Dip Galvanizing Costs Less & Lasts Longer (2002) A detailed study comparing the initial and life cycle costs of hot-dip galvanizing to alternative barrier protection systems. The study looks at the expected life of hot-dip galvanized steel and project maintenance costs for both hot-dip galvanizing and painting.
PR-GCL-02 $2.60

Hot-Dip Galvanized Rebar vs. Epoxy-Coated Rebar(2006) The newest handout in the series compares hot-dip galvanized rebar with epoxy-coated rebar. This comprehensive 4-page brochure features a side-by-side comparison of performance, a detailed account of concrete corrosion, HDG rebar bridge case studies, and a history of the HDG rebar in use. C-GvsECR-06 $1.13
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel vs. Paint (2005) This handout is a detailed cost comparison of hot-dip galvanizing and paint. The handout features a side-by-side comparison of weather dependency, bond strength, service life, and much more. It also compares the initial cost and maintenance cost of hot-dip galvanizing with 4 paint systems. C-GvsP-05 $.66
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel vs. Weathering Steel (2005)
The decision on whether to use HDG steel or weathering steel can easily be determined by using this one page handout. This side-by-side comparison examines conditions such as, fatigue life, inspection, appearance, corrosion rate, and much more. In addition, the handout explains the performance of each type of steel in five different environmental conditions.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel vs. Zinc-Rich Paint (2005) This handout is a detailed cost comparison of hot-dip galvanizing and zinc-rich paint. The handout features a side-by-side comparison of weather dependency, bond strength, service life, and much more. It also compares the initial cost and maintenance cost of hot-dip galvanizing with zinc-rich paint.. C-GvsZRP-07 $.66

 
Service Life Chart for Hot-Dip Galvanized Coatings (2005) This is a 2-sided, full color chart that shows the service life of hot-dip galvanized steel. Included on the first page is information for 5 different environments, as well as the ASTM  A123 minimum coating thickness range.  A brief explanation of cost is also given. The second page contains a singled-out view of the industrial environment's service life. How long will HDG steel last in your environment? PR-SLC-05. $.62
