Why Do Street Light Poles Rust?
2026-08-03 16:00:07

 

Main Corrosion Causes

  1. Harsh Environment Persistent dampness, coastal salt mist, acid industrial rain and drastic temperature fluctuations damage protective coatings and corrode steel.
  2. Substandard Surface Treatment Insufficient hot-dip galvanizing zinc thickness, low-grade powder/paint coating, or skipped sandblasting pre-treatment lead to coating peeling and hidden rust.
  3. Transport & Installation Damage Scratches from pole friction, forklift collisions, and unpatched welding joints strip anti-rust layers, forming rust origins.
  4. Insufficient Regular Maintenance Unrepaired coating scratches, trapped rainwater at the base flange, and lack of timely touch-up paint let rust spread widely.

 

Targeted Anti-Corrosion Solutions

  • Base: ≥85μm standard hot-dip galvanization
  • Finish: Acid/salt/UV-resistant outdoor polyester powder coating
  • Production: Complete sandblasting + seamless full spraying
  • Shipping: Foam wrapping to avoid surface scratches
  • After-sales: Matching touch-up paint for on-site repair
