Hot-dip galvanization (HDP) is a practice that adds a protective layer of zinc to steel. Our products at Micwel at finished in the form of bare steel, which is susceptible to corrosion and rust; therefore the integrity of the steel can be weak. The finished product is dipped in a zinc bath at a temperature of 450 degrees Celsius. Once it is exposed to the air, the zinc undergoes several reactions with the atmosphere and becomes a zinc carbonate. This zinc carbonate is a hard material that is resistant to the harshest conditions, perfect to weather any storm. The purpose of galvanizing is to prevent the steel underneath from losing its durability. Galvanizing is a great way to preserve steel products for countless decades. www.galvanizeit.org
