Impasse™ High Security Fences, Aegis II™ Industrial Ornamental Steel Fences, Aegis Plus™ Commercial Ornamental Steel Fences, and PermaCoat® Industrial and Commercial Color Chain Link Framework and Fittings are all protected with Ameristar's PermaCoat double coating process. The steel base material has a hot-dip galvanized coating, specially developed for subsequent application of powder coating. The galvanized substrate is subjected to the PermaCoat® process, a complete thermal stratification (multi-stage, high-temperature, multi-layer) electrostatic powder application system of both zinc rich epoxy and polyester. The PermaCoat® powder coating system results in finished surfaces with unmatched performance. The base coat of zinc rich epoxy powder far surpasses the corrosion resisting abilities of painted surfaces. The "no-mar" polyester powder top coat dramatically increases weathering resistance (color and gloss retention) and reduces scratches and burnishing marks normally encountered during shipping.





PermaCoat® significantly exceeds paint, polyolefin, PVC, and one coat polyester finishes in its ability to resist corrosion. ASTM B117 test results below show the dramatic difference.




Permacoat is far superior to PVC in resistance to the harmful effects of UV radiation, as show below using South Florida exposure tests.
