1 Inch Anti-corrosion U-shape Steel Channel

The 1 Inch Anti-corrosion U-shape Steel Channel by Kangtao is a high-performance structural component tailored for commercial building projects. Characterized by its U-trough cross-section, 1-inch core specification, and robust anti-corrosion treatments, this steel channel is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of commercial spaces—from shopping malls and office towers to retail centers and industrial warehouses. It is crafted from premium materials, including Q235B, Q345 (A/B/C/D/E), HC340LA, and 15CRMO, ensuring compatibility with diverse load-bearing and environmental needs.

Manufactured via flexible processes (cold drawn, cold rolled, hot rolled, or forged), the channel supports repeated secondary processing, making it easy to cut, weld, or shape for custom designs. It adheres to international standards such as AISI, ASTM, DIN, and GB, and holds ISO9001 certification, guaranteeing consistent quality. Surface treatments—including passivation, oiling, lacquer sealing, and phosphating—reinforce its anti-corrosion performance, protecting against moisture, oxidation, and commercial building-related wear (e.g., frequent cleaning chemicals or temperature fluctuations).

Q1: Which material grade (Q235B vs. Q345B) is better for my commercial project?

A: Q235B is cost-effective for low-to-medium load areas (e.g., retail display supports), while Q345B offers higher tensile strength for heavy-load structures (e.g., mezzanine frames or HVAC supports). We can recommend grades based on your project’s load calculations.

Q2: What is the lead time for a custom order?

A: Standard orders ship within 10–15 workdays after payment. For large-scale customizations (e.g., 10,000+ meters or unique surface treatments), lead time may extend to 20 workdays, but we prioritize on-time delivery.

Q3: Can this channel be used in outdoor commercial spaces (e.g., open-air malls)?

A: Yes. We recommend adding an extra lacquer sealing layer for outdoor use, which enhances resistance to rain, UV rays, and temperature changes. Our outdoor-grade channels have been tested to withstand -20℃ to 60℃ environments.

Commercial Building Steel Structure Frames

For mid-rise office buildings or shopping malls, this U-shape channel forms the backbone of interior/exterior frames. Its anti-corrosion coating withstands the moisture from central air conditioning systems, while its strength supports suspended ceilings and heavy lighting fixtures. Example: A 5-story retail center used 1,200 meters of this channel to build its mezzanine frames, reducing maintenance costs by 25% over 5 years.

Concrete Beam Support Systems

In large-span commercial spaces (e.g., exhibition halls or sports complexes), the channel reinforces concrete beams to prevent sagging. Its U-trough design distributes weight evenly, and the anti-corrosion treatment protects against water seepage from overhead sprinklers.

Cable Tray Manufacturing

Commercial buildings require extensive wiring for power, data, and security systems. This channel is shaped into cable trays, where its smooth surface prevents cable damage and its anti-corrosion layer avoids short circuits caused by rust. It is particularly useful in food courts, where grease and moisture would degrade ordinary steel.

Packing Details

To protect the 1 Inch Anti-corrosion U-shape Steel Channel from scratches, moisture, and deformation during transit:

Standard packing: Each channel is wrapped in moisture-proof kraft paper + PE film, then bundled with galvanized steel strips (5–10 pieces per bundle) to ensure stability.

Bulk orders: Packed in fumigated plywood crates (compliant with ISPM 15 for international shipping) with foam padding between layers to avoid collision damage.

Custom packing: Optional waterproof covers or labeled crates (with project numbers) for large commercial building projects, facilitating on-site sorting.

Delivery Information

Lead time: 10–15 workdays for standard lengths (1m–12m); 20–25 workdays for custom-cut or special surface-treated orders.

Transportation: For bulk orders (≥500 meters), we cooperate with reliable ocean freight forwarders (shipping from Shanghai/Ningbo Port) with door-to-door service options. For urgent small batches (≤100 meters), air freight (via Shanghai Pudong Airport) or express delivery (DHL/FedEx) is available, with a 3–5 day transit time to major global cities.

Tracking: A unique shipment tracking number is provided after dispatch, allowing real-time monitoring of cargo status until delivery.
