2. Hot-dip galvanizing – General information
2.1 Benefits of galvanizing
-
The parts are fully protected
Hot-dip galvanized to standard ISO 1461 is totally protected, inside and out (surfaces, edges, holes, welds...), even in the most inaccessible places (tanks, hollow bodies, tubes...), thanks to the immersion technique in a liquid zinc bath.
-
Zinc coating corrodes very slowly
A finished galvanized product has very low zinc losses over time, expressed in µm/year.
This feature enables zinc to form an effective barrier between steel and the aggressive agents of different environments (table
