glue in bolt Inox

Our glue in bolt Inox, also known as “composite hook Inox”, is made of AISi 304L / A2 steel. This means that it already offers very good corrosion protection in the inner Alpine region. This makes it a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive AISI 316L / A4 steel glue in bolt.

These pitons are mainly bought by developers for alpine routes. On the one hand, climbers do not want to invest in the most expensive material (A4 steel). And secondly, the steel quality is absolutely sufficient for this environment and low climbing frequency.

With the addition of this hook, bolting.eu is also underlining its huge range and expertise. After all, we have been active in development ourselves for 30 years and know exactly what our customers need. With the lower-priced A2 steel, we once again perfectly cover the requirements of alpine developers!

Advantages of the low-cost A2 steel version

This product is made of AISI 304L / A2 stainless steel. This means that the steel alloy contains slightly less chromium than AISI 316L / A4 steel. As a result, a slightly thinner chromium dioxide layer is formed here, which protects against rust.

You can read all the details in our article“Steel qualities for drilling and glue in bolt“.

In the Alpine region, the steel quality of glue in bolt Inox is sufficient. Especially in the Alpine region. For one thing, there are almost no chemical influences here. And secondly, the frequency on these routes is not so high.

In short. The advantages of this stainless steel composite hook are that it is cheaper and has a very long service life.
