STRYK 5388 FACS

STRYK 5388 FACS

The Industry’s Best Anti-Corrosion Protection for Steel Poles

Extend the Life of Your Netting System with Proven Rust Protection

Steel poles are the backbone of any netting installation, whether for sports fields, golf ranges, or industrial facilities. But without the right protection, moisture, pollution, and extreme weather can cause rust, cracks, and structural failure—leading to costly repairs or replacements.

That’s where STRYK 5388 FACS® (Flexible Anti-Corrosion System) comes in. This industry-leading anti-corrosion coating is exclusively available from Coastal Netting Systems and is trusted by engineers, facility managers, and netting professionals to keep steel poles protected for decades.

In fact, STRYK 5388 FACS® is so well-known in the netting industry that it is often required in customer Requests for Proposal (RFPs)—a testament to its unmatched durability and performance.

  • Prevents rust, even in extreme weather
  • Withstands wind, UV rays, and chemical exposure
  • Flexible coating—won’t crack when poles move or expand
  • Keeps steel poles strong for decades with minimal maintenance

Coastal Netting Systems: The Experts in Netting & Corrosion Protection

For over 40 years, Coastal Netting Systems has been the trusted leader in high-performance steel poles for netting installations. We understand the high costs of pole replacement, the frustration of rust damage, and the importance of long-term durability. That’s why we coat every single pole with STRYK 5388 FACS®, ensuring superior corrosion protection in any environment.

Imagine a clean, professional-looking netting installation—no rust streaks, no failing poles, no costly repairs. With STRYK 5388 FACS®, your investment stays protected season after season, no matter the conditions.

Why STRYK 5388 FACS® is the Best in the Industry

Unlike standard coatings like polyurethane, alkyd, and epoxy, STRYK 5388 FACS® provides multi-layered protection against the elements:

  • Blocks moisture & humidity – Prevents water from penetrating and starting rust.
  • Resists extreme weather – Withstands high winds, temperature changes, and air pollution.
  • Protects against chemical exposure – Resists acids, caustic compounds, and salt spray.
  • Stays flexible – Won’t crack when steel poles expand, contract, or move in the wind.
  • Prevents corrosion even if scratched – Keeps rust from spreading if the surface is damaged.

This next-generation anti-corrosion technology is trusted in demanding environments like the Alaskan Pipeline and is proven to outperform traditional coatings in rigorous salt spray and weather tests.

How STRYK 5388 FACS® Works

STRYK 5388 FACS® is a direct-to-metal coating, meaning it doesn’t require zinc or chromate primers to work. It forms a continuous, solid layer that:

  • Seals out water and air to stop rust before it starts
  • Creates a chemical barrier that neutralizes corrosion at the molecular level
  • Uses non-toxic pigments to block UV damage and prevent material breakdown

Other coatings fail when exposed to harsh weather, thermal expansion, or chemical exposure. STRYK 5388 FACS® keeps working—protecting steel poles year after year.

Figure 1 illustrates the performance of STRYK 5388 FACS® over zinc rich anti-corrosion systems. Figure 2 demonstrates the synergy of the anti-corrosion pigments. The STRYK 5388 FACS® coated panel remained corrosion free even when the coating was breached.

Proven Performance: STRYK 5388 FACS® vs. Zinc Coatings

Engineers put STRYK 5388 FACS® to the test—and it outperformed zinc-rich coatings in extreme conditions.

Figure 1 illustrates the performance of STRYK 5388 FACS® over zinc rich anti-corrosion systems.
Figure 2 demonstrates the synergy of the anti-corrosion pigments.

  • Cold-rolled steel panels coated with STRYK 5388 FACS® remained rust-free after 500 hours of salt spray testing.
  • Zinc coatings showed corrosion after just 70 hours.
  • Water runoff from zinc coatings contained contaminants—STRYK 5388 FACS® did not.

Even when the coating was breached or scratched, STRYK 5388 FACS® kept corrosion from spreading, proving its long-term strength and reliability.
