8. Purpose

Zinc wire is used in oxy-fuel and arc thermal spray equipment to deposit zinc coatings by thermal spraying (metallization) for corrosion protection of steel and iron.

Concrete application：

• Wind turbines, Hub,Base,Bearing seat,
• Capacitor.
• Heat exchanger.
• Cast pipe.
• Bridges.
• Locks & dams
• Above ground storage tanks
• Light poles
