Sinsun Black Drywall Screws are made of black phosphating treatment, which is also the most common surface treatment method. The main purpose is to prevent rust and reduce surface friction.
Grey Drywall Screws
Sinsun Gray drywall screws have a gray phosphating treatment on the surface. The color is lighter than black drywall screws, and the anti-corrosion effect is the same as black.
Sinsun galvanzied drywall screws are made by covering the surface of the screw with a layer of zinc to protect the inside of the screw from corrosion, effectively preventing the drywall screw from rusting and extending its service life.
Nickel Plated Drywall Screw
Nickel plated screw surface treatment can effectively prevent drywall screws from rusting in humid or harsh environments, ensuring that they can maintain stable performance in various environments. This surface treatment has a better anti-corrosion effect than galvanizing, but the price is also relatively high.
