python Durability explained

PYTHON Fixings durability perfomance with salt spray testing

"Architect recommended PYTHON as the latest state-of-the-art innovation for strengthening masonry buildings! and it costed us 67% less than other solutions!" - Matt, enthusiastic building owner

PYTHON's ranges of fixing have undergone industry-standard testing in order to ensure that their performance aligns with the durability requirements of AS/NZS 2699.1:2000. All our products have been tested under 1500 hours salt spray testing to ASTM-B117:2019.

ZINC-NICKEL COATED RANGE

We have produced a line of fasteners that withstand rigorous testing for the most severe environments. PYTHON Fixings with Zinc-Nickel coating are able to withstand a 1500 hour salt spray test in accordance with ASTM-B117:2019. This delivers fasteners that are strong and ductile, as well as providing extreme durability for R4 (Severe Marine) environments.

Zinc-Nickel PYTHON Fixings aligns with durability performance requirements within exposure categories R0 to R4, Mild, Moderate, Marine & Severe Marine (AS/NZS 2699.1:2000).

Powder COATED RANGE

Our powder coated plates provide enhanced durability for locations near Marine environments. They show no deterioration under a 500 hour salt spray test and minimal surface discoloration at 1500 hours. This barrier coating provides a high degree of corrosion resistance while maintaining the PYTHON plates historical aesthetic.

Dulux Duralloy thermo setting powder coated system is used for PYTHON Plates. This aligns with durability performance requirement within exposure categories R0 to R3, Mild, Moderate & Marine (AS/NZS 2699.1:2000).
