Hot dip galvanizing is a particularly effective, long-lasting and economical protection against the corrosion of steel.

Hot dip galvanizing or job galvanizing takes place, when chemically derusted parts are dipped in 450°C hot molten zinc. In this process zinc joins with the steel into a metal formation. Its physical and chemical properties guarantee an outstanding long-term corrosion protection. Further advantages compared to other methods are:

• Ability to cope with mechanical stress, scuff resistant, impact resistant;
• Complete coverage, on the component's outside as well as on the inside;
• Suitable to be connected using common methods (screws, welding);
• Service free with long operating life, hence cost effective;
• Automated process steps guarantee uniform quality free from weather influence.
