Hot dip galvanizing is a process of coating steel with a thin zinc layer, which serves as a barrier between the steel and the environment. The finish is applied by passing the steel through a molten bath of zinc at a high temperature.
Galvanized steel is well suited for applications that need rust-resistant materials at a competitive price, ultraviolet light protection and easy integration with other materials. Industries that use hot dipped galvanized steel products include automotive, pipe and tubular, outdoor recreation, agriculture, and construction.
