Kerala, the land of greenery, lagoons, and backwaters is beautiful round the year and during monsoon, it's breathtaking! The fact that monsoon comes twice a year makes this place even more glorious. However, on the �ip side it also brings moisture and dampness, which needless to say is not good for your home. Especially if the structure is made of wood or ordinary pipes.

That's why Apollo, India's No.1 Steel Pipes brand, has developed TriCoat Galvanised Pipes especially for Kerala, which comes with triple coating for protection against rain and rust.

Water makesKerala beautiful.However, there isanother side to it.

Introducing™

STEEL PIPES & DOOR FRAMES

Step 1: Competitive AdvantageEvery project is di�erent and unique in its own way and we, at Apollo

TriCoat, make the right pipes to achieve excellent structural

integration. The precision, toughness and long lasting protection of

our galvanized mechanical pipe make it ideal for uses that demand

superior �nish and precise dimensions.

TriCoat pipes are easy for fabrication, powder coating and welding so

that you save on installation time and labour cost. Moreover, we o�er

custom lengths to match speci�c needs and also provide value-added

fabrication services.

Step 2: A Single-line process that de�nes qualityThe unique technology to manufacture pipes ensures it is corrosion resistant and provides double life to the pipe. The process allows putting paint,

zinc and organic top coat seamlessly on a continuous process, providing maximum bene�t to the pipes and the users.

Zinc CoatingAn even layer of 99% zinc applied during manufacturing to provide corrosion resistance

Top Organic Coat

Interior CoatingHeat set zinc rich paint

Steel TubingHigh tensile tubing as pervarious standards

Step 3: The Three Layer Coating AdvantageOur triple-coat process starts with a high-grade 99.99% pure zinc coating.

This is followed by an organic coating on the zinc surface which seals it

and provides extra protection against corrosion.

A coating of zinc rich paint (with 400 hrs of salt spray resistance) is

sprayed on the interior part as well to protect the interior steel surface.

Features and Bene�tsIn line galvanizing produces a bright, virtually lead-free coating that is exceptionally durable and stands up to severe fabrication processes.

CORROSION RESISTANCEThe pipe is 100% coated inside and outside post welding to eliminate any exposure

of raw steel. The top coat not only protects underlying zinc but comes pre-primed for additional surface coatings.

DURABILITY AND STRENGTHOur mechanical pipe can provide a minimum 350 MPa yield and 380 MPa tensile in

order to meet your toughest design challenges.

SUPERIOR QUALITYSince our pipes are stronger, a thinner wall thickness is used which makes the pipes

lighter in weight. We o�er a range of wall thicknesses combined with a powerful yield

strength and tensile properties which deliver a heavy duty pipe being still light in weight.

NO WHITE RUSTThe top coat ensures a smooth finish and acts as a protective layer on the finished pipe. This prevents the

formation of any white rust on the pipe.

PURE AND THICKER ZINC COATINGThe triple coat process has a pure 99.99% high grade zinc coating and no other metals are found within the

product. Therefore, TriCoat has more pure zinc layer than any other galvanised tube.

EASY TO WELDThe highly uniform coating of 99.9% zinc gives a faster and a more dependable weld without needing to remove

the coating, thus making it easy to weld for fabrication.

ECO FRIENDLYTriCoat pipes are free of life threatening elements such as hexavalent chrome, lead and cadmium.

ZnZn

In Conventional Pipes, the thickness of pure zinc layer is less and alloyed

layer is more which can easily erode over time.

In TriCoat, zinc is uniformly coated with special technique resulting in

better top coating with more pure zinc layer and minimal alloy layer. Hence

TriCoat becomes more corrosion resistant than normal galvanised pipes.

Why Choose TriCoat Pipes overConventional Galvalnised Pipes?

Quality Test for High PerformanceTo make sure that our customers get the ultimate product we take our steel pipes through some rigorous testing process.

Salt Spray Test

• Exterior Surface: The coating’s ability to resist is tested by

exposing it to the salt fog with a maximum of 5% red rust for

400 hours or more. . The test is conducted in

accordance with ASTM B117.

• Interior Surface: The interior zinc-rich surface is exposed

to the salt fog with a maximum of 5% red dust for 400

hours to test its ability to resist. The test is conducted in

accordance with ASTM B117.

Sustainable Development

Keeping the nature in mind, a sustainable global environment is a need of the hour. We are also

contributing in saving the nature by not using any harmful substance. Its acceptable

concentration is 1000 ppm but in our products it is 0 ppm. Similarly, lead and cadmium’s

acceptable concentration is 1000 ppm and 100 ppm respectively but in our products its

concentration is 30 ppm ≥ and 20 ppm ≥ .

Hexavalent Chrome 0 ppm 1,000 ppm

Lead 30 ppm ≥ 1,000 ppm

Cadmium 20 ppm ≥ 100 ppm

TriCoat Pipes - Advantages

CONSISTENT QUALITYWe follow a standardised process and operation during the making of Apollo

TriCoat which is completely technology led. This ensures zero human

intervention which leads to superior products and uniformity in sizes.

UNIFORM SIZEEach pipe is of 6 meters in length which helps in easier dispatch from our

factories and warehouses. This makes it easier to calculate the

weight/number of the pipes dispatched, thereby reducing the associated

transportation risks. Moreover, capping and bundling of the pipes becomes

more convenient.

ZINC COATINGAll TriCoat pipes are coated with a precise 200 gsm of zinc coating which

reduces the chances of corrosion and thereby lessens the impact of corrosive

elements on the environment.

TriCoat pipes have superior load

bearing capacity that leads to an

overall lighter structure.

Rooftop Shed

Applications

TriCoat pipes provides greater strength, reducing the

amount of steel used in the green house structure resulting

in an overall lighter and economical structure.

Green House

TriCoat pipes are used in superior electrical conduits which makes

working with electrical wires more safe. The two protective coatings of

paint and polymer act as insulators and the inner coating of paint,

makes pulling pipes 20% easier as compared to conventional steel

conduits.

Electrical Conduit

Applications

TriCoat pipes are best suited for handrails, large tents, lamp posts

for supporting road/tra�c signs, bed frames, automotive parts,

machine manufacturing, support structures and many more.

General Fabrication

TriCoat pipes can be used at construction sites for

high altitude sca�olding as it provides great strength.
