About Zinc Plating
Zinc plating is a highly effective method for protecting metal surfaces from corrosion and oxidation. This process works by creating a durable barrier that shields the underlying metal from the environment, while also acting as a sacrificial anode. In the event that the zinc layer is scratched or damaged, the zinc continues to prevent corrosion by sacrificing itself to preserve the integrity of the base material. Unlike some other coatings, zinc does not compromise the surface quality or strength of the metal substrate, ensuring long-term protection and performance.
