Product type
Zinc is a bluish-white metal that is primarily used as a corrosion-resistant coating for other metals, particularly iron and steel, through a process known as galvanization. It is also used in various alloys, such as brass, and can be found in a variety of industrial applications due to its favorable properties, including resistance to corrosion and low melting point. Zinc is typically obtained from zinc ores such as sphalerite and is produced through smelting processes.
| Purity | 99.99% for high-grade zinc |
| Form | Ingots, sheets, and powders |
| Melting Point | 419.5 °C (787.1 °F) |
| Density | 7.14 g/cm³ |
| Standard sizes | Varies by form, typically 1 kg to 25 kg ingots |
When selecting zinc, consider the purity level required for your application, as higher purity zinc is necessary for specific industrial uses. Specify the form of zinc you need, whether ingots, sheets, or powders, and the quantity required for your project. Additionally, inquire about any relevant certifications or standards that may apply to your industry, such as ASTM or ISO certifications, to ensure compliance with regulations.
