Silotex Nails – Corrosion Resistance and Reliable Hold for Light Wood Assembly

The 1″ Silotex Galvanized Nails are durable, all-purpose fasteners designed for light construction and assembly work where protection from moisture is essential. The 1-inch length makes them ideal for fastening thinner materials or securing joints in small assemblies.

The most critical feature is the galvanized finish, which applies a protective zinc coating to the steel. This provides excellent corrosion and rust resistance, ensuring the nails maintain their integrity when exposed to humidity or exterior weather. The design includes a flat circular head for flush setting and a partially ribbed shank near the head, which enhances initial grip and pull-out resistance compared to a completely smooth shank, providing a reliable hold for utility applications.

Key Benefits

• Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized finish protects the steel from rust and weathering, perfect for exterior use.

• Improved Grip: Partial ribbing on the shank enhances holding power near the head.

• Compact 1″ Length: Ideal length for fastening thin wood materials, trim, or crafting projects.

• Flush Setting: Flat circular head allows the nail to be driven flush with the surface for a stable finish.

• Durable Steel Construction: High-strength steel provides reliable driving without bending.

Application Instructions

• Driving: Drive the nail perpendicular (straight) into the wood substrate.

• Setting: Drive the flat head flush with the surface (or slightly beneath if filling is required).

• Safety: Always wear safety glasses when hammering.

• Caution: Ensure the nail length does not exceed the total thickness of the material to avoid exposed points.

Pro Tips

• For the best results in exterior applications, always use a galvanized or stainless steel nail to prevent premature rust stains on the wood.

• The 1-inch length is excellent for securing two thin pieces of wood together (e.g., 1/2″ + 1/2″).

• Pre-drill small pilot holes when working near the edge of thin wood to prevent splitting.

• Store the nails in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from causing surface rust prior to use.
