PRODUCT MATERIAL

ZlideOn is made of surface treated zink and is very durable. ZlideOn is colored with trivalent chromium which, unlike the often-used hexavalent chromium, has no reported adverse effects on humans, animals or the environment. The trivalent chromium is passivated to prevent it to pass into hexavalent chromium.
