// Gold Passivated Plasterboard Clout (Annular Grooved)

This shank has been mechanically rolled to leave a number of sharp rings. These rings act like barbs against the timber fibres, vastly increasing the holding power of the nail. This nail shank is used where increased holding is required.
USES: For fixing Plasterboard

// Stainless Steel

A Stainless Steel finish provides superior corrosion resistance. This is achieved due to the “passivity” inherent in the nails. When exposed to oxygen it immediately acquires a protective invisible film (chromium oxide CrO2). We use 316 Stainless is recommended over 304 due to its superior resistance to corrosion.
USES:
Any environment with exposure to corrosive seaside elements.
