The fact of too much eliminating these blemishes by sandpapering is likely to degrade the thickness and the function of protection of zinc. To accept these visual defects constitutes a tranquillity and quality stamp for many years.

            A thermolaquage by powder polyester with high adherence can supplement hot galvanization with soaked after manufacture. It goes without saying the imperfections of aspect inherent in galvanization remain apparent. This coloured completion ensures an additional behaviour the corrosion estimated from 10 to 20 years.

Hot dip galvanizing offers a double protection to steel

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Hot dip galvanizing offers a double protection to steel: an electrochemical protection cathodic effect which does not let corrosion extend in the event of surface wound and a physical protection barrier by screen which insulates steel. The lifespan of galvanization depends on two parameters:

            – The thickness of the zinc coating.

            – The place of use of the products; rural, marine, urban,…

As an indication and according to these criteria the average longevity of the zinc coating  varies between 10 and 30 years
