Zinc Ingot (CAS 7440-66-6) is a solid metallic form of zinc supplied in Special High Grade with 99.99% purity, recognizable by its bluish-white metallic luster and resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and it serves as a foundational material for hot-dip galvanizing, brass and die-casting alloys, and automotive components. The product is a foundational material for the Galvanizing Sector , where it is melted to provide protective coatings for structural steel. Its precise Alloying Properties make it essential for the production of brass and die-casting alloys. Commercially, it is supplied in standardized weights and shapes to facilitate melting in industrial furnaces. It is a vital Commodity Metal used in the manufacturing of automotive components and household hardware.
Zinc Ingot
Applications
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Primary material for coating steel products to prevent corrosion in construction and automotive industries.
- Die Casting: Used to create complex, high-strength components for the automotive, electronics, and appliance sectors.
- Alloy Production: Essential constituent for the manufacturing of brass and other non-ferrous alloys used in plumbing hardware.
Safety & Risks
Generally classified as Non-Hazardous in solid form. Molten metal causes Severe Thermal Burns; use Heat-Resistant PPE and Face Shield during casting.
Packaging
