Benefits of CLEANSHEAR Cutter

Cutting FLEXTRAY
When FLEXTRAY is correctly cut with a CLEANSHEAR Cutter, a galvanic protective layer occurs. Galvanic action will occur when the zinc coating near the cut area reacts with the bare steel of the cut giving it a thin layer of zinc protection. This Galvanic protected layer of zinc will help prevent oxidation.
