Anti-Corrosion HDG Hat Type Cold Formed Steel Section | High Strength Roof & Wall Purlin for Steel Structures

Product Introduction

Hat type cold formed steel section, also known as hat section purlin, is a high-performance structural profile designed for industrial buildings, solar mounting systems, and lightweight steel construction. Manufactured from Q235 carbon steel coil through continuous cold roll forming technology, the product features a unique hat-shaped cross section with double upturned flanges, providing improved bending resistance and structural stability.

Compared with traditional C purlins, the hat section design offers a wider support surface and optimized load distribution. The special flange structure helps improve compression performance and resistance against external forces such as wind pressure and roof loads, making it suitable for large-span roof systems and heavy-duty building structures.

The steel profile can be treated with full hot-dip galvanization, forming a uniform zinc protective layer of 60–120μm. This coating effectively protects the steel substrate from moisture, salt spray, oxidation, and industrial corrosion. It is suitable for long-term outdoor applications, including coastal areas, photovoltaic projects, agricultural facilities, and humid factory environments.

To meet different engineering requirements, we provide customized manufacturing services. Section height, flange width, steel thickness, total length, and mounting hole positions can be adjusted according to project drawings. Pre-punched round or slotted holes are available to simplify bolt installation and improve construction efficiency.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between hat section purlin and C purlin?

A: Hat section purlin features a hat-shaped profile with double upturned flanges, providing higher rigidity and better compression resistance. C purlin is commonly used for lighter structural applications.

Q2: Is hot-dip galvanizing suitable for outdoor projects?

A: Yes. The 60–120μm zinc coating provides corrosion protection for outdoor environments such as solar farms, coastal areas, and industrial buildings.

Q3: Can the size and hole layout be customized?

A: Yes. Section dimensions, thickness, length, and pre-punched hole positions can be customized according to engineering drawings.

Q4: What materials are available?

A: The standard material is Q235 carbon steel, which provides good strength, weldability, and structural performance.

Q5: How are hat section purlins installed?

A: Pre-punched holes allow fast connection using bolts and nuts, reducing cutting and drilling work during construction.

Q6: What packing options are available?

A: Products can be packed with plastic bags or cartons for safe transportation and storage.
