Galvanising

As soon as the galvanised item leaves the zinc bath the surface reacts with the oxygen in the air to form a thin, impervious film of zinc oxide that has excellent adhesion and anti-corrosion protection properties.

Coatings are thicker than plastic-dipped or painted coatings, providing excellent coverage on sharp corners and angles.

Low initial cost combined with long life provides economical protection for long periods - often more than twenty years in hostile environments.

While multi-coat painting can take up to a week, hot dip galvanising can be achieved in just minutes.
