Hot Dip Galvanizing is a method of giving long-term corrosion protection to steel by means of coating
it with molten zinc. It has been around for 150 years and has been tried and tested in almost every
situation.
Galvanized coatings protect steel in three ways:
1. The zinc weathers at a very slow rate giving a long and predictable life.
2. The coating corrodes preferentially to provide sacrificial protection to small areas
of steel exposed through drilling, cutting or accidental damage.
3. If the damaged area is larger, sacrificial protection prevents sideways creep which can
undermine coatings.
Our galvanizing services comply with various international standards:
| British Standard |
BS EN ISO 1461:1999 (Supercedes BS 729:1971) |
| American Standard |
A123 & 1539(ASTM) |
| Australian Standard |
AS/NZS 4680 : 2006 |
| Malaysian Standard |
MS740 : 1981 |
