Reveals the common procurement traps of w-beam guardrails. It explains why products with the same nominal specification have a large price gap, points out the tricks of unscrupulous manufacturers in cutting raw materials, and provides practical procurement suggestions. It is accompanied by paragraph-by-paragraph Chinese-English comparison, suitable for publishing on Google independent stations to help overseas buyers avoid risks and purchase reliable guardrail products.

Shandong GuanXian BeiFang Group, a leading manufacturer of traffic safety facilities in China, has officially launched its new series of high-speed highway guardrails, featuring double wave and triple wave beam designs. The guardrails adopt three premium surface treatment processes: hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, and epoxy zinc-based coating, all complying with GB/T 31439 and ISO 1461 standards, which offer superior corrosion resistance and long service life, suitable for different application scenarios.

Global steel prices are poised for further increases in the coming weeks, driven by soaring costs of raw materials and energy, according to industry analysts and leading steel suppliers, including ShanDong GuanXian GuangDa Composite Material Co., Ltd. The upward trend, already evident in recent weeks, is expected to persist as cost pressures ripple through the entire steel supply chain, affecting all major product categories including galvanized steel, a key product line of ShanDong GuanXian GuangDa Composite Material Co., Ltd.

The festive atmosphere still lingers, and it is high time for striving. On the 8th day of the first lunar month, Shandong Everbright Composite Materials Co., Ltd. officially resumed production, kicking off the new year's development with an award ceremony for advanced workers. The workshop machines are soon to roar into operation, and all employees have quickly switched from the "festival mode" to the "striving mode", sprinting full steam ahead for a "good start" in the new year's production and operation, and injecting abundant momentum into the development of the new year.

It is a momentous and joyful occasion for ShanDong GuanXian GuangDa Composite Material Co., Ltd.! On February 11, 2026, our second 1150 rolling mill production line was grandly put into operation. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all leaders, customers and colleagues for their consistent support and trust along the way. This new line commissioning marks a new stage of development for our company, symbolizing the comprehensive upgrade of production capacity, product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold the core principles of quality first and honest operation, and strive to provide customers all over the country and the world with superior galvanized steel products and more efficient delivery services.

The new national standard GB/T 18226-2025 Technical Requirements for Corrosion Protection of Steel Components in Highway Traffic Engineering will be officially implemented on March 1, 2026. It unifies the specifications for core indicators such as classification, thickness, adhesion amount, adhesive force and salt spray resistance of corrosion protection coatings commonly used for W beam guardrails. The accurate collection is as follows.

Due to factors such as the lack of prominent contradictions in the steel industry, capital mostly flowing to varieties with restricted supply or incremental demand, sluggish speculative demand, and weak expectations, steel prices fluctuated slightly before the Spring Festival. Looking ahead to after the festival, the steel market still faces certain pressure. It is expected that the accumulation of steel inventories will be slightly lower than the same period last year, but weak market expectations and sluggish speculative demand will suppress prices. In addition, the supply of raw materials is loose, and ironmaking output is expected to recover slowly, leading to weakened cost support. However, market liquidity is abundant, and the country has continuously introduced steady growth policies, including support for real estate, infrastructure investment, and manufacturing. The market has strong expectations for the implementation of these policies, which will provide certain support for steel prices.
