Zinc plating is highly effective across many industries and applications. The main benefit is that zinc provides a smooth, clean finish and strongly resists the forces of oxidization. It’s also environmentally friendly and has a relatively low price point.
In fact, manufacturers often use zinc as a sacrificial anode to protect a substrate. In other words, zinc protects the surfaces of valuable metals like carbon steel by coating them. When the finished product is in use, the zinc erodes very slowly, meaning it takes a long time for the corrosion and rust to reach the steel itself.
Whatever your application, PBZ will assist you in finding the right zinc plating company for your project and guide you through the logistics.
