The Atkore Defender coating has proven to be ideal for corrosive outdoor environments in many common applications including industrial facilities, rooftop supports, transportation, railways, parking structures, bridges, solar panel framing, walkways, platforms, railing, theme parks, and more.

To compare Atkore Defender against traditional Hot-Dip Galvanized products, an independent, accredited laboratory exposed samples of both systems to continuous salt spray for 3,000 hours in accordance with a leading industry standard for corrosion testing, ASTM B117. Results showed that Atkore Defender samples lasted more than three times as long as Hot-Dip Galvanized samples. The coating also has a self-healing property that allows it to reprotect itself against most cuts and scratches
