The greenhouse environment used for growing vegetables or fruits is frequently exposed to high humidity and harsh weather conditions. These factors can accelerate the corrosion process and reduce the lifespan of standard galvanized steel pipes, especially the winding shafts installed outdoors. 
Environmental Challenges
The vegetable or fruit growing greenhouse environment poses great challenges for metal structural components:
- High Humidity
- Harsh Weather
These factors accelerate the corrosion process and reduce the lifespan of conventional galvanized steel pipes. Standard galvanized pipe is often corroded within 3-5 years under these condition, leading to structural damage and the risk of costly crop contamination.
Specialized Material Solution
To reduce maintenance and replacement costs, the greenhouse structure requires materials with resistance to moisture, rust, oxidation, and the ability to withstand weather effects for decades.
To overcome the problem of rust and corrosion, Daiwa Super Color Pipe is introduced as an effective solution for farmers. This type of pipe has technical characteristics suitable for greenhouses:
- Composition: Is a steel pipe (galvanized steel or mild steel) heated and dipped in plastic powder to create an outer polyester plastic coating.
- Durability: The heating process helps the powder melt and adhere firmly to the metal surface, creating resistance to moisture, corrosion, rust, oxidation, and the ability to withstand weather for a long time.
What is Daiwa Super Color Pipe?
Daiwa Color Pipe or Daiwa Super Color Pipe, is a steel pipe, available in galvanized or non-galvanized options, that undergoes a meticulous process of coating with polyester resin both inside and outside. Its distinctive white exterior, in a hollow cylindrical shape that can also be customized to a rectangular form, caters to the specific requirements of each customer. The emphasis on its white color not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also aids in enhancing light penetration in vinyl greenhouses, leading to improved crop yields.
Originally designed as a winding shaft for the agricultural industry, Daiwa Super Color Pipe has proven to be versatile in various applications beyond greenhouse farming, such as framing for home design, coastal fences, or handrails for seaside structures.

Specific Applications in Greenhouses
In greenhouse construction, this type of pipe is mainly used for two important purposes:
- Winding Shaft: The part that is directly exposed to external weather.
- Structural frames: Ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure.
Conclusion
In summary, in greenhouse agriculture, the transition from conventional steel pipes to specialized polyester plastic-coated steel pipes is key to extending the structure's lifespan and minimizing damage caused by moisture and chemicals.
Daiwa Super Color Pipe is the optimal material solution for greenhouse structural components, especially in positions prone to corrosion such as winding shafts and load-bearing frames, helping farmers maintain a more durable structure compared to using traditional materials.
Daiwa Lance is the manufacturer and supplier of Daiwa Super Color Pipe – a specialized polyester plastic-coated steel pipe (color pipe) – used for greenhouse structural components like winding shafts and load-bearing frames.
