Zinc coatings are the best protection for steel applications.
These coatings will not allow rust to form by preventing the oxidation reaction to occur with the steel, but instead with the zinc in the coating. Zinc rich coatings will protect the steel even at voids, scratches, and pinholes in the coating system. Excellent for use off-shore, high humidity, and harsh conditions. Zinc coatings can make all the difference for long-term protection in extreme environments.
