BENEFITS OF HOT DIP GALVANIZING:
CORROSION RESISTANCE.
In normal conditions more than 50 years.
COATING TOUGHNESS
Zinc creates metal alloy coating, which is metallurgically bonded to the steel. Coating is resistant to mechanical
damage - hit and abrasion.
RELIABILITY
Hot dip galvanizing is controlled technological process. Requirements for coating are defined by standard
EN ISO 1461. Zinc coating performed in accordance with this standard provides reliable corrosion resistance.
GOOD APPEARANCE
Silver-gray appearance is well accepted in exteriors as well as in interiors. Recently, coating is often covered by
painting or powdercoating (Duplex technology).
POSSIBILITY TO GALVANIZE
Correctly designed (welded and drilled) hollow structures can be galvanized also from inside, as molten zinc can
access every hollow, corner, narrow gap.
SIMPLE INSPECTION
Zinc coating is controlled mostly visually. There are also many devices for checking the zinc coating thickness on the
market.
POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Hot dip galvanizing is performed in controller industrial areas. All air emissions are captured, effect on the water is
limited. Waste materials are recyclable. Long lifetime of the coating minimizes the needs for repair, and risks for the
environment.
