Unlike every other tube (pole) manufacturer, DAC has developed the material and the process together
DAC’s has its own custom aluminum alloy, TH72M
DAC’s proprietary high strength alloy was developed in conjunction with experts from the ALCOA Technical Center
This alloy coupled with DAC’s legendary engineering team leads to tubes with unmatched strength to weight ratios
All DAC tubes include Pressfit technology that revolutionized the method in which pole sections are joined together
Green Anodising
"DAC struggled for over eight years to eliminate nitric and phosphoric acid from the Anodizing process of most of our poles
Anodizing is a unique aluminum surface treatment that prevents rusting and increases the durability of the painting on the product
The standard industry process for heat treatable aluminum alloy involves chemical polishing with a boiled phosphoric and nitric acid solution that generates yellow fumes — almost like tear gas
DAC struggled for over eight years to eliminates nitric and phosphoric acid from the anodizing process of our poles
The main motivation to find a replacement for chemical polishing was to protect our workers from this toxic gas
We worked for eight years of trials and errors without knowing if we could ever be successful
We ultimately invented a new process called Green Anodization, and now we make most of our poles without chemical polishing"
