Corrosion is destructive result of the chemical action between metal and its environment. It is the process of metal being worn away. If left unprotected, steel will react with surrounding environment and return to its more stable oxide compounds thus consuming the steel in the process.
The most reliable way to protect steel being Hot Dip Galvanizing, is the practice of immersing clean, oxide free iron or steel into molten ZINC in order to form a zinc coating that is Metallurgically bonded to the iron or steel surface.
Hot Dip Galvanizing after fabrication is done as per I.S;2629 : 1985 a 4759; 1984. We are using the purest zinc available on the market (Special High Grade 99.995%)
