Zinc rods

Zinc rods are bars made from high-purity zinc, known for their excellent corrosion resistance and versatility. We manufacture zinc rods from virgin zinc ingots with a purity of 99.995%, adhering to the EN 1179 standard and the Z1 classification. They are available in various diameters and lengths, making them suitable for crucial industrial applications like galvanization.
Zinc rods have a silvery-grey colour and are malleable, which allows for easy machining and shaping. They can have different surface finishes, including polished, matte or oxidised, depending on the manufacturing process and intended use. This enhances their appearance and also improves functional qualities, thereby expanding their industrial applications.

Features

Durability

Designed to withstand harsh environments, our zinc rods feature superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance, providing
long-lasting reliability and reducing the need for frequent
replacements.

Environmentally Friendly

Our production process prioritises sustainability by minimising environmental impact. We use non-contaminating lubricants and follow strict cleaning procedures to protect the ecosystem while serving our customers.

Purity

We manufacture zinc rods using high-quality LME-approved zinc with a purity level of 99.995%, ensuring excellent conductivity and minimal impurities for reliable industrial performance.

Sizes

We manufacture a wide range of zinc rod sizes and offer customisation options to meet various industrial needs. Clients can choose specific dimensions, finishes and packaging for enhanced efficiency.

Applications

Electroplating

Zinc rods act as sacrificial anodes in the process of electroplating. When an electric current is applied, zinc oxidises instead of the substrate metal, enhancing the corrosion resistance of the plated object from moisture and corrosive agents while also adding a smooth and clean finish.

Metallization

Zinc rods are used in thermal spraying metal to create durable protective coatings. The zinc is heated until molten and sprayed onto the substrate, forming a strong layer that improves resistance to corrosion and wear. This method not only extends the lifespan of metal components but also provides a cost-effective way to protect surfaces in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike zinc wires or sheets, zinc rods are solid bars.

Higher purity levels, such as our 99.995% virgin zinc, showcase consistent metallurgical properties, making them ideal for critical applications like electroplating and galvanization.

Zinc rods should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from moisture and corrosive chemicals to prevent surface oxidation or damage.

Zinc rods are widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, electrical, marine, and heavy machinery for coating, plating, and corrosion protection.

Yes, our zinc rods are 100% recyclable without loss of quality, making them a sustainable choice for industries focused on eco-friendly solutions.
