Galvanizing may be desirable in coastal areas where corrosive atmospheres may be encountered. Wade A.R.E. is a white epoxy powder coating thermochemically applied to a thoroughly cleaned cast iron product. It provides a high gloss finish that is hard, tough, provides superior corrosion resistance, and is ideally suited for sanitation purposes. As this is an epoxy, it is not recommended for outdoor applications where gloss retention is required. Wade stainless steel floor sinks are normally supplied in 16 ga.
Stainless steel provides a superior sanitary finish.
Light weight, exceptional strength and corrosion resistance make aluminum ideal for drain components, especially sediment buckets and secondary strainers. Commonly used with A.R.E. coated drains because the possibility of chipping is minimized. Nickel bronze is Wade's name for C99700 white manganese brass. Its tensile strength ranges from 40,000 to 60,000 pounds per square inch. This particular material maintains its appearance despite abuse or exposure.
