Hot-dip zinc coatings have a long history. They are added to metal surfaces to prevent them from rusting. That means cars, fences and playground equipment can keep their new, shiny appearance for much, much longer. But how does this coating work?
How Hot-Dip Zinc Protects Steel From Corrosion
Hot-dip zinc coatings are made in a unique way. A strong bond is created between the zinc and the metal when metal plates are immersed in hot, molten zinc. This bond acts as a shield preventing moisture and preventing rust to occur.
The Incredible Self-Healing Zinc Coatings
They can also fix themselves, in a cool way, hot-dip zinc coatings. The zinc coating can even mend itself if the metal becomes scratched or damaged. That’s because the zinc can combine with oxygen in the air to form a fresh protective layer.
30 Years No Rust Performance
When you think about a metal fence in someone’s yard that is 30 years old but still looks exactly the same as the day it was erected. That’s what hot-dip zinc coatings do for you. Even years of exposure to rain, snow and sun will not tarnish these coatings and they will keep metal objects looking freshly polished.
1 Strong Durability of Hot-Dip Zinc Coating
Hot-dip zinc coatings are not only free of rust, can be self-repaired, but also have extremely high strength. They can take on any kind of weather, from hot sun to bitter cold. That makes them ideal for outdoor items meant to endure.
TLDR: Hot-dip zinc is pretty cool! They help protect metal surfaces from looking old and filled with rust for years. With the ability to regenerate and being virtually impervious to damage, it’s valid why they’re such a popular pick.
