Plated Steel products are suited for industrial and rigging applications, indoor use and very dry climates.

Stainless Steel (304) products have been the standard in the USA for wet climates, but have recently been discouraged by the UIAA.

Duplex/PLX, HCR Stainless Steel products are now recommended by the UIAA for all outdoor use, especially limestone climbing areas and or near marine environments.
