Epoxy Coated Steel Strand
On the other hand, the coated epoxy steel strand (ECS) features a surface epoxy coating over the pre-stressed steel strand, ensuring minimal stress relaxation loss under the same loading conditions, not exceeding 4%.
Both types provide reliable solutions where corrosion protection and structural integrity are critical.
Primary Benefits
Our epoxy-coated steel strand offers exceptional chemical resistance and excellent abrasion protection, ensuring durability even in harsh environments.
Why Choose This Epoxy Coated Steel Strand?
After curing, the coated epoxy strand is flawless—free of holes, voids, cracks, or any visible defects to the naked eye. Continuous holiday detection ensures quality, allowing no more than two holidays per 30 meters, with any minor imperfections professionally repaired using high-quality sealing materials. The coating remains intact, showing no cracking or disbonding in both bend and tensile tests.
What Sets This Epoxy Coated Steel Strand Apart?
Before the pre-stressed steel strand receives the epoxy coating, its surface is meticulously purified to exceed the Sa2.5 standard (GB/T8923), ensuring superior adhesion. The strand is then coated multiple times while maintaining optimal surface temperature, achieving the precise coating thickness specified by our customers.
Our seven-wire prestressed steel strand and prestressed steel strand are ideal for:
External tendons for box girders
Stay cables
Any construction project requiring durable coated steel strands with long-lasting performance

As per the client's requirement
Q: What is an Epoxy Coated Steel Strand?
A: An epoxy-coated steel strand is a type of prestressed steel strand protected with a durable epoxy layer. This coated epoxy provides excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, extending the strand’s lifespan in harsh environments.
Q: What are the benefits of a Filled Epoxy-Coated Strand?
A: A filled epoxy-coated strand ensures the coating is free from voids, cracks, or defects, offering superior corrosion protection. It maintains strength under bending and tensile stress, making it ideal for structural applications.
Q: Where can a Seven Wire Prestressed Steel Strand be used?
A: Our seven-wire prestressed steel strand is perfect for external tendons in box girders, stay cables, and other pre-stressed concrete structures that require long-lasting pre-stressed steel strands.
Q: How is the coating quality of your Epoxy Coated Steel Strand ensured?
A: The surface of each strand is carefully purified before coating, exceeding the Sa2.5 standard (GB/T8923). The coated steel strand undergoes multiple epoxy applications and continuous holiday detection to ensure flawless protection.
Q: How does this product differ from other epoxy-coated steel strands?
A: Unlike many factories, our prestressed steel strand receives multiple coatings at controlled temperatures, achieving precise thickness and superior adhesion. The result is a coated epoxy strand with no cracking, disbonding, or weak spots.
