Ascalon Design FAQ
What type of metal are Ascalon products made from?
Ascalon manufacture products using mild steel. This type of steel possesses excellent ductility, weldability, malleability, impact strength, and tensile strength and is one reason it is used in the car industry
How are the products protected for outdoor use?
Ascalon choose EDP, or electro-deposit primer, to coat their products. EDP is a protective coating that is applied to steel and is an environmentally friendly way of adding lifespan to steel products. These are some of the benefits:
- Low VOCs and HAPS: E-coating uses few to no hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- OSHA-, RoHS-, and EPA-approved: E-coating is approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) program, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Minimal environmental impact: EDP plating has minimal to no environmental impact. The coating material is not easily flammable.
- Corrosion resistance: EDP coating helps prevent metal parts from rusting and degrading.
- Smooth surface: EDP plating can produce a smooth surface with a uniform thickness.
