Corrosion Protection & Sacrificial Security
Zinc creates a strong outer barrier that blocks air and water from reaching the steel or iron. Even if the surface gets scratched, the zinc corrodes first. This sacrificial action helps the steel stay strong underneath, even when the coating is damaged.
Long Lifespan
Galvanized coatings can last for decades. In clean rural areas, it can last up to 50 – 75 years. Even in industrial settings, it still holds up for 20 to 50 years.
Low Maintenance
These coatings require simple cleaning once in a while and do not need to be repainted. No tools are needed as well since it is easy to inspect with the eye.
Cost-Effectiveness
When it comes to long-term use, it is a more affordable option than using stainless steel. You don’t have to repair it often, which in turn saves money on labor and materials.
Eco-Friendly
By significantly extending the life of steel products, galvanization reduces the amount of steel waste generated through corrosion. The process also uses less energy since zinc is recyclable.
Aesthetic Finishes
The coatings can be spangled, matte, or even painted to make the parts look very nice and suit any decorative needs.
