Wet storage stain is a white or gray stain that can occur on newly hot dip galvanized parts when subjected to moisture such as rain or even high humidity. Generally, wet storage stain is cosmetic only, disappears with weathering, and does not affect the excellent long-term corrosion resistance of galvanizing. To minimize wet storage stain, Powerbrace takes steps such as bundling finished lockrods so they do not touch one another during transport to your plant and uses a special corrosion inhibiting paper for packing of some galvanized components.
