MATERIALS & COLORS 56 www . b j s p a r k .com · 1-800- 3 9 2 - 6 1 5 8 All of the D-Type and V-Type expanded steel that we use is 3/4"-#9 material with a short longitudinal stretch. A shorter stretch means smaller “diamond” openings, which leaves more material (steel) per foot. The more diamonds there are per lineal foot is your indication that there is more steel left in the structure. Therefore, the top and seats will be stronger. It is also called the “long way design, non flattened expanded metal”. “Non flattened” means the steel is “on edge” around the diamonds. This provides a stronger, more rigid material. D-Type: This standard duty table top/seat and other component design is built for your most common public use applications. V-Type: SNOW LOAD/EXTREME LOAD RATED. This design incorporates wider edge banding and more structural supports to create a table built for applications and locations that can be more abusive to the structure. This material is especially suited for high elevation areas where winter snow load can destroy average tables. The V-Type Snow Load/Extreme Load design is available on WXT, WXTH, WPTS, XT, XTH, APT, and APTX series tables. See Page 46. NOTE: V-Type components are used on some benches and square tables. These applications have not been tested or rated for extreme loads. Black Use DB or VB in model no. Tan Use DT or VT in model no. Orange Use DO or VO in model no. Blue Use DU or VU in model no. Brown Use DW or VW in model no. Yellow Use DY or VY in model no. Green Use DN or VN in model no. Gray Use DA or VA in model no. Red Use DR or VR in model no. Light Green Use DLG or VLG in model no. Selected Pilot Rock bench, table and trash receptacle products and components featuring expanded steel are finished with a thermo-plastic coating in your choice of available colors. The thermo-plastic coating is PVC free and phthalate free. The UV-stabilized thermo-plastic coating is applied in a multistep process of material preparation and finish application, designed and formulated to create superior adhesion. After cleaning, the steel component is heated to 550-600 degrees (depending on the component). It is then lowered into an air-fluidized bed of colored polyethylene powder. This fluid powder fuses and bonds to the heated metal. The component is then baked at high temperature to cure the application. This dipping application provides a coating 35-40 mils thick (as much as 5x thicker than a spray-on coating). This complete process of cleaning-heating-fusing-baking tightly bonds the powder to the metal, creating a durable, colorfast finish. The thermo-plastic finish includes a superior level of UV protection, does not support mold or mildew growth, and is impact resistant. We use a textured matte finish polyethylene. These finishes are less susceptible to marring and scratching (which is often a problem with gloss finishes). Expanded steel components are assembled and reinforced with formed steel edge bands, angle irons and bars as appropriate to each product design. All components are single piece welded construction. Our thermocoat product has been tested by an independent lab, and given the highest rating of DNI - Does Not Ignite and does not support combustion during or after flame exposure. THERMO-PLASTIC COATED EXPANDED STEEL Note: Colors and textures may vary. Colors shown are as close to the actual colors as the printing process is able to reproduce them. When selecting colors, keep in mind that Thermo-plastic Coating, Powder Coating and Recycled Plastic may not be exactly the same color -- i.e., Blue Thermo-plastic Coating for seats and/or table tops and Blue Powder Coating for frames may differ slightly. Examples using Expanded Steel products: Model WXT/G-6D♦ is equipped with standard duty top/seat structures for regular applications. Model WXT/G-6V♦ is equipped with the snow load rated top/seat structures for more extreme applications. Replace (♦) with letters indicating type and color listed under sample.
