Zinc Product

Zinc is a bluish-white metal with a lustrous appearance. It is brittle by nature but exhibits good malleability and ductility at higher temperatures. A natural part of our environment and required by all living beings for survival, zinc is the fourth most common metal in use today. It prevents damage to steel and iron from inclement weather and pollution, reinforcing crucial structures through galvanization (the process of applying a layer of zinc to help prevent corrosion) – thus, making it one of the most preferred solutions for long-term maintenance and corrosion-free life. 

Zinc is mostly consumed by the construction sector, followed by transport and infrastructure sectors. In terms of first use, galvanizing dominates, followed by fertilizer, die-casting alloys, brass semis, and casting. Most zinc is used to galvanize other metals, such as iron, to prevent rusting. Zinc metal has several characteristics that make it a well-suited corrosion protective coating for iron and steel products. Zinc’s excellent corrosion resistance in most environments’ accounts for its successful use as a protective coating on a variety of products and in many exposure conditions. 

Large quantities of zinc are used to produce die-castings, which are important in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries. Zinc is also used in alloys such as brass, nickel silver and aluminium solder. Zinc oxide is widely used in the manufacture of very many products such as paints, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, inks, soaps, batteries, textiles and electrical equipment. Zinc is also used to fertilize zinc-deficient soil.
