To help provide superior protection against corrosion, Sloan Transportation Products has introduced MAXXDuty™ Hose Assemblies that feature a new plating material that is better able to withstand damage caused by the new de-icing agents that are increasingly being used by many municipalities and private snow removal companies to treat highways. Of particular susceptibility to corrosion are the steel crimped fittings attached to the brass part of the hose assembly. Sloan tested several different options to plate the steel crimped fittings before settling on the MAXXDuty plating.
