    Corrosion? happening on galvanized connector plate

    Yes. Mold remediation was conducted by spraying a mold remover solution(ingredient: Sodium hypochlorite, Sodium carbonate, Sodium hydroxide) on almost the whole house during framing one year ago. So almost all connector plates were also sprayed by that chemical. That chemical has been left on...

    Corrosion? happening on galvanized steel

    Hello. Do you think corrosion is happening on these galvanized steel plates with a low level corrosion resistant coating (G90)? They were sprayed by a solution(Sodium hypochlorite, Sodium carbonate, Sodium hydroxide) one year ago. (The surface was shiny before the spray.) Thanks.
