Zinc Plating

Zinc is a bluish-white metal that is hard, crystalline and brittle. The metal readily oxidizes in air and gives excellent corrosion resistance particularly in conjunction with passivates and top-coats when applied to steel components as the zinc deposit corrode preferentially to the steel.

Benefits

• Gives added value to the product.
• Has some lubricity characteristics
• Combined with a passivate, zinc is a good base for paint.
