Zinc Metals
Zinc is essential to a modern society. Zinc provides the most cost-effective and environmentally efficient method of protecting steel against corrosion.
By prolonging the life of steel, zinc performs an invaluable service - it helps to save natural resources such as iron ore and energy and extends the life of steel goods and capital investments in steel, such as homes, bridges, port facilities, power lines and water distribution, telecommunications and transport. Sun Metals produces a Special High Grade (SHG) of zinc metals to meet stringent quality standards under the regulation of London Metal Exchange and wide ranges of zinc alloys to meet all the requirements of consumers. Zinc's main uses are:
- Anti-corrosion coatings on steel (Galvanizing)
- Automobiles
- Precision components (Die Castings)
- Zinc Oxide
- Construction material
- Brass
- Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics
- Micronutrient for men, animals and plants. Zinc is also an essential element which is indispensable for human health and for all living organisms.
With zinc alloy products, the specifications, forms and dimensions of zinc alloy is different due to different industries/users.
