These Panel Pins are ideal for lightweight and decorative tasks. For corrosion resistance, the pins are sheradised. The shape of the pins helps to reduce splitting in hard or brittle timber. General cross section of joinery applications such as fixing decorative timber mouldings. Sheradisation is the process of choice for fixings or fasteners that require long-term corrosion resistance. The sheradised finish is a thermal diffusion process, in which Zinc powder is vaporised and diffuses into the surface of the fastener or fixing to form a sacrificial corrosion protective Zinc /Iron alloy coating which dramatically increases the nails' durability.
