• No Annealing
    Zinc strip requires no annealing during successive forming operations.
  • Electrical Properties
    Solid zinc strip alloys have good electrical properties with electrical conductivity equal to 70/30 brass.
  • Chemical Properties
    Solid zinc strip possesses unique chemical/electrical properties that enable it to function in galvanic cathodic protection and battery anode configurations.
  • Joining and Soldering
    Solid zinc strip is easily soldered to itself and other materials. It can be readily joined as well by resistance welding and other assembly methods.
  • Corrosion Resistant
    Solid zinc strip is resistant to weather and atmospheric corrosion. Exposure to the atmosphere causes the formation of a zinc carbonate film that provides long-term protection.
  • Finishing
    Being one of the most versatile non-ferrous metals available, solid zinc strip can be plated, painted, lacquered, powder coated, or base coat/clear coat with excellent adhesion and durability.
  • Shielding Properties
    Solid zinc strip is an effective EMI/RFI shield.
  • Non-Magnetic
    Solid zinc strip is non-magnetic.
  • Non-Sparking
    Solid zinc strip is non- sparking, making it the ideal choice for parts utilized in hazardous environments.
  • Environmentally Safe
    An environmentally safe material, zinc is an essential element of life naturally existing in the earth and in all living things.
  • Cost-Effective
    Solid zinc strip is an economical alternative to other metals such as copper and brass. It will produce more pieces per kilogram unit of weight due to the weight density of zinc when compared to other metals.
  • Recyclable
    Solid zinc strip is 100% recyclable. We recycle zinc scrap produced throughout our various processes.
