| Surface Finish | Description |
| Black (Mill Finish) | Hot rolled steel retains its native black mill scale without extra surface finishing, fit for common structural applications. |
| Oiled | A thin layer of temporary anti-rust oil is coated on surfaces to ward off oxidation while stored or shipped. |
| Painted (Primer Coated) | Anti-corrosive primer or bespoke paint systems can be applied for short-term or project-specific anti-rust protection. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) | Hot-dip galvanization delivers thick zinc cladding, delivering robust anti-corrosion performance for outdoor and offshore service scenarios. |
| Electro-Galvanized (Optional) | Thin galvanized zinc film offers mild rust resistance, with a smoother surface texture compared to hot-dip galvanizing. |
| Shot Blasted (Optional) | Abrasive blast cleaning strips mill scale off workpieces to boost bonding performance of subsequent coatings. |
| Customized Coating | Epoxy paint, zinc-rich primer and 3PE anti-corrosion layers can be supplied to match distinct engineering demands. |
