Introduction to 3CR12 Stainless Steel Split Sets / Friction Anchors

3Cr12 Material Offers Superior Corrosion Resistance

Mpumatech Stainless Tube (Pty) Ltd, have partnered with Columbus Stainless Steel in South Africa, who are the producers of 3CR12 stainless steel, to manufacture split sets for highly corrosive environments. 

A key concern of split sets relates to their useful life span in an underground environment. They are vulnerable to corrosion and can become ineffective after a short period of time, with this in mind we now offer 3CR12 Stainless Steel split sets. 

Our 3CR12 Stainless Steel split sets, with similar high tensile properties, is available at a similar price point to the galvanised split sets. Where absolute peace of mind is required, the 3CR12 split set will meet even the most demanding safety standards. 

We have conducted salt spray tests to compare the performance between galvanised and stainless steel split sets and the results show the advantage of using 3CR12 material. 

We believe that this is a great alternative solution to galvanised material and could limit the potential for falls of ground where galvanised material fails over time.
