Alkaline Zinc Plating

Alkaline zinc plating is a widely used process for electroplating steel components with a protective layer of zinc, which provides excellent corrosion resistance.

This process involves passing a direct current of electricity through a zinc solution with a zinc anode and a steel conductor, resulting in the deposition of a thin layer of zinc onto the steel surface.

One of the significant advantages of electroplated zinc is that it allows for lower thickness deposits to achieve comparable performance. Additionally, the availability of a broader range of conversion coatings increases its performance and colour options.

Electroplated zinc also provides a brighter and more aesthetically appealing finish.

Furthermore, it can serve as an effective primer before proceeding with painting, making it a versatile and cost-effective choice for a variety of applications in industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
