Any truly great product must have a defining feature that sets it apart from all others; Ameristar Fence systems have several features that make them superior to those of competing manufacturers. DESIGN INNOVATION. Ameristar has developed unique (patented or patents pending) product designs that simultaneously expand structural capabilities and increase aesthetic value of its architectural Fence systems. ForeRunner Rail Stalwart Cables The primary differentiating factor in Ameristar 's Aegis In Ameristar 's high security Impasse anti-ram Fence II , Aegis Plus , and Echelon II ornamental Fence barrier, the differentiating concept is the integrated systems is the ForeRunner internal retaining rod Stalwart cable system.

Impasse High Security Fences, Aegis II Industrial Ornamental Steel Fences, Aegis Plus Commercial Ornamental Steel Fences, and PermaCoat Industrial and Commercial Color Chain Link Framework are all protected with Ameristar 's unique PermaCoat double coating process. The steel base material has a hot-dip galvanized coating, specially developed for subsequent application of powder coating. The galva- nized substrate is subjected to the PermaCoat process, a complete thermal stratification (multi-stage, high-temperature, multi-layer) electrostatic powder application system of both epoxy and polyester. The PermaCoat powder coating system results in finished surfaces with unmatched performance. The base coat of epoxy powder far surpasses the corrosion resisting abilities of painted surfaces. The no-mar poly- ester powder top coat dramatically increases weathering resistance (color and gloss retention) and reduces scratches and burnishing marks normally encountered during shipping.
