ZINC WIRE
PRODUCTS
Zinc wire Zn99.99 is used for applying zinc coatings by spray metallization to protect various steel elements and structures against corrosion. The wire is also used in the electrotechnical industry. The wire is produced from SHG zinc of the highest purity, 99.995% Zn.
Applying zinc coatings by spray metallization is a modern corrosion protection method. Compared to hot-dip galvanizing and electrogalvanizing, it offers the following advantages:
no dimensional limitations of the coated elements,
the possibility of metallizing structures directly on the construction site,
the ability to perform coating repairs on joints or areas with mechanical damage,
high resistance to mechanical damage,
zinc coatings applied by spray metallization have higher durability, and their thickness can be adjusted to meet operational requirements,
Spray metallization eliminates the risk of thermal deformation of the protected elements.
Zinc coatings are applied using electric or flame spray guns. Depending on the type of spray gun used, Zn99.99 wire with appropriately selected physical properties is recommended.

PACKAGING
Endless wire:
Cardboard drums with capacities of 100, 150, 200, and 250 kg, or steel drums ranging from 200 to 450 kg. The wire is placed inside a plastic bag, and the drums are sealed with lids. Drums are packed two or four per wooden pallet, secured with polyethylene strapping. For regular customers, the use of used drums is allowed upon agreement.
Coiled wire:
- Coils weighing 25 kg, secured against unwinding with polyethylene strapping, placed inside cardboard boxes. Boxes are stacked on wooden pallets, secured with polyethylene strapping and optionally wrapped with stretch film.
- Coils weighing 25 kg, secured against unwinding with polyethylene strapping, placed in cardboard drums. Drums are packed two per pallet, secured with polyethylene strapping, with a total weight of 400 or 500 kg.
Spooled wire:
Wire wound on plastic or metal (openwork) spools weighing 20 kg, placed inside cardboard boxes. Boxes are stacked on wooden pallets and secured with polyethylene strapping.
