Zinc Wire Applications
Zinc wire is used for thermal spray coating in corrosion protection. It is applied to containers, bridges, headframes, storage tanks, electrical iron structures, masts and towers, capacitors, metal brackets, spheroidal cast iron pipes, traffic installations and other industrial items.
Zinc Wire Packaging
Packaging: 50kg drum or as required
Our zinc wire is clearly marked and labelled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Measures are taken to avoid damage during storage or transport.

FAQs on Zinc Wire
Q1: What types of zinc wire are available?
Zinc wire is available in varying degrees of purity, typically ranging from standard zinc (99.5% purity) to high-purity zinc (99.99% purity). The diameter of the zinc wire differs depending on the application, with common sizes from 1 mm to 4 mm.
Q2: How is zinc wire used in thermal spraying?
Zinc wire is fed into a thermal spray gun. It is melted by a heat source, such as an electric arc or a flame. The molten zinc is then atomised and propelled onto the surface to be coated, thereby forming a protective layer.
Q3: Can zinc wire be recycled?
Yes, zinc wire and zinc coatings can be recycled. Recycling zinc reduces resource consumption and environmental impact. Zinc waste from coatings or unused wire may be collected and processed for reuse in various applications.
