- Salt air and other harsh environmental factors cause rust to eat away at metal fasteners and fixers, leading to failures in their structural integrity. When the cross-sectional area of a fastener decreases, load-bearing capacity is reduced.
- Corroded fasteners allow water to enter roofs, which can cause catastrophic electrical system failures and health impacts such as mould.- Corrosion via fasteners can impact the waterproofing of a structure, resulting in expensive rectification works.
- Corrosion-resistant fasteners protect from harsh environmental impacts, including UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.
- Australian Standards mandate the use of corrosion-resistant fasteners in different categories, and home insurance coverage may also require compliance with these standards.
