Certain collated fasteners may also have a thin coat of vinyl which helps ease drivability into the wood. During that action the vinyl coating becomes briefly heated and then quickly cools. This does result in nominal enhanced holding power but does not offer any corrosion protection. Other coatings and finishes listed below help extend the life of the fastener when used in exterior applications and are required for some varieties of treated lumber. Bright Coated - Bright, uncoated steel finish intended for use where corrosion resistance is not required. Typical use in framing and interior work. Not recommended for use with treated lumber (CCA and ACQ). Electrogalvanized - Zinc coating applied to steel with an electrical charge. Offers limited resistance to rust. Hot Dipped Galvanized - Nails are formed from bright steel wire rod. They are then dipped into molten zinc until a uniform coating appears across the entire surface. All Grip-Rite hot dipped galvanized nails meet the ASTM A153 standard for gal- vanization coating weight. Hot Galvanized - Carbon steel used to manufacture nails is passed through a tank of molten zinc. The galvanized wire is then used to form the fastener. All Grip-Rite hot galvanized meet the ASTM A153 standard for galvanization coating weight. Exterior Galvanized - A propriety zinc/polymer coating that offers equal or superior corrosion protection to traditional hot dipped galvanizing. Exterior Galvanized fasteners are approved for use with ACQ and other treated lumber. PrimeSource may provide Exterior galvanized, Hot galvanized or Hot dipped galvanized fasteners interchangeably, depending upon market conditions, at no additional cost. PrimeGuard Max® Stainless Steel - Lifetime Guarantee against rust. Including when used with treated lumber. Stainless Steel fasteners are the only fasteners recommended for use with cedar or redwood. What type of Stainless Steel is recommended? There are several grades, or types, of stainless steel, each with a different mix of metals in the alloy. If you are ever uncertain which type of fastener or plating material to use with your base material, talk with your hardware manufacturer. The 200 series is less expensive, but also the least corrosion resistant. For real protection against the elements, the 300 series is the best choice. Type 304 (nails), and 305 (screws) stainless steels
