About Zinc

Zinc is the most widely used metal after steel, aluminum, and copper. Around 49% of zinc produced globally is used for galvanizing. Galvanization is the process of immersing steel in molten zinc to create a corrosion-resistant coating of zinc-coated steel. Galvanized steel is used in a wide variety of industries such as construction and automobile.

Zinc alloys such as brass and bronze are used in machine bearings, die-casting, and stamping dies. Zinc is also used in electrical fittings, medical equipment, rubber goods, paint pigments, and ceramics.
