Should not be used for any type of pressure treated wood andshould not be used in exterior applications where the fasteners will be exposed to the elements.Plain steel coated with zinc through electrical charge; provides minimal corrosion resistance. Should not beused for any type of pressure treated wood and should not be used in exterior applications where thefasteners will be exposed to the elements.Provides superior corrosion resistance and is acceptable for all types of pressure treated wood and exteriorapplications. Exterior galvanized coating is equivalent in performance to galvanization that meets ASTM A153 Class D.Nails are dipped into molten zinc bath. Gives nail a heavy clumpy coating of zinc. Provides good corrosionresistance and is acceptable for all types of pressure treated wood and exterior applications. Galvanizationmeets ASTM A 153 Class D.Eco-friendly technology, were magnets are used to apply molten zinc to wire rod. Provides good corrosionresistance and acceptable for all types of pressure treated wood and exterior applications. Galvanizationmeets ASTM A 153 Class D.Lifetime corrosion resistance and is acceptable for all types of pressure treated wood and exteriorapplications. Stainless Steel provides superior performance in cedar, redwood and coast markets.Lifetime corrosion resistance. Great for use with gutters and aluminum trims.Used in conjunction with copper substrates for continuity and appearance.Nails are degreased and heat cleaned. Creates a blue oxidization coating. Used in lath and plaster applications.Vinyl coating applied to create ease of drivability and better holding power. Should not be used for any typeof pressure treated wood and should not be used in exterior applications where the fasteners will beexposed to the elements.Resin coating applied to create ease of drivability and better holding power. Should not be used for any typeof pressure treated wood and should not be used in exterior applications where the fasteners will beexposed to the elements.Phosphate coating creates good holding power and is a great surface for joint compound or paint.1.888.502.BLUE • www.bluelinxco.comPlease call for product availability in your area.7
