No, there are no hot-dip galvanized self-drilling screws. Hot-dip galvanizing involves heating the screw at high temperatures to adhere a zinc layer to its surface. This high temperature affects the hardness of the screw, so hot-dip galvanized self-drilling screws are not available.

Why do some customers look for hot-dip galvanized self-drilling screws?

This is because customers mistakenly believe that Dacromet coating is the same as hot-dip galvanizing. While Dacromet and hot-dip galvanizing look very similar, their manufacturing processes are completely different. The specific processes are complex and will not be detailed here. In terms of corrosion resistance, Dacromet is far superior to hot-dip galvanizing. Wotu self-drilling screws’ Dacromet coating has passed salt spray testing and enjoys a good reputation in the industry!
