Steel Tubes, Metal Joints, Brackets & Accessories For Lean Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 Solutions
FlowTube steel tube framing system is the ideal solution for when you need the strongest profiles to carry really heavy loads in a framing system. Designed for use in almost any industrial or warehouse environment, FlowTube’s powder-coated steel profiles and frames are ABS coated. The steel tube finish on all frame profiles also provides a tough and durable surface that can withstand harsh conditions, abrasion, and impact
In addition to their durability, powder-coated steel frames offer several other benefits, including their high resistance to damage or tarnish from cutting oils, solvents, bleaches, UV light, and contact with other components.
Cost-Effective And Eco-Friendly Heavy Duty Steel Tube Framing And Accessories
Powder coating is a solvent-free process that emits negligible volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and produces little to no waste, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is also a cost-effective solution compared to other finishes like painting, plating, or anodizing.
Furthermore, powder-coated steel tube framing system extrusions are 100% recyclable, making them a sustainable and environmentally conscious choice. With their excellent combination of durability, aesthetics, corrosion resistance, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness, powder-coated steel frames are a popular choice for a wide range of industrial and warehouse manufacturing applications.
Choose FlowTube steel framing and accessories for your heavy-duty mobile material storage and lean manufacturing needs.
