MetalShield
Our unique two-stage surface protection against corrosion
What is MetalShield™?
Unique to Hayman Reese, MetalShield™ is the ultimate in surface protection against the elements. Using the latest Eletrocoating (E-coat) and powder coat technologies, MetalShield™ helps stop rust, resists fading and flaking.
This means Hayman Reese towbars look like new for longer – especially important for vehicles with exposed towbars.
Is MetalShield™ better than paint?
Yes, much better, it is fully automated and allows a uniform coating every time.
We strip-off any surface contamination back to bare metal using shot blasting – shot blasting also helps reduce welding stress from manufacturing. Then, we electrically charge the towbar as part of the E-coat process to promote adhesion. After oven drying, the product is then powder coated and oven dried again to fully cure the coating for maximum toughness and durability.
What products use MetalShield™?
All of our Hayman Reese towbars, rear protection bars, and cargo barriers are protected with MetalShield™.
Whether it is a light-duty towbar (class 2) or a heavy-duty towbar (class 4) you can be assured that they all have the ultimate protection against the elements.
MetalShield™ is one of the reasons why Hayman Reese offer a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
