Nope, perfectly serious. What I have is a copy of two pages actually (I
suspect part of a booket that was folded 8.5 x 11 paper). It describes a
Super Z-25-T (Triexium tm)on one side and a Super Z-25 on the other (but
this tower is steel, hot dip galvanized). Notes the material is " . . .
similar to those used in jet planes and space craft".
To go further with the description it says it is "anodized, non-corroding
and cannot rust . . . is actually stronger than steel and it will never need
painting". Tower height from 10 to 200 feet.
This still says 'aluminum' to me.

Around 1980 Tri-Ex apparently offered a tower that came in 10 foot sections
and was made with something called Triexium.
The data sheet (which says little) claims it is a ‘space-age, lightweight,
high strength, lightalloy’ material. Sounds a lot life aluminum.
Have never seen any recent (and not so recent) references to this
material/tower?
Just curious, sales sheet was in my old Tri-Ex WT-51 file.
