GatorShield® is Allied Tube's superior, triple-layer rust and corrosion resistant product protection, used exclusively for all 50/55®, 60/75®, and RS 20 and RS 40 structural steel tubing. GatorShield coated steel tubing has been the standard of excellence and the product of choice for outdoor structures for over 15 years.

GatorShield tubing has superior corrosion resistance as a result of their patented Flo-Coat® process. Coatings of zinc and chromate are applied, then a clear polymer topcoat seals the surface. The result is unmatched, long-lasting rust and corrosion protection. GatorShield's bright, smooth and uniform surface retains its attractive appearance for an extended period.
