APPLICATION For fastening together numerous types of material or to be fastened in to pre-tapped holes. Widely used in many engineering applications. Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish.

It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that in contrast to iron oxide does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide if left intact can act as a barrier to further oxidation in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
