White Zinc Ingots (PMI)

What are Zinc Ingots?

Zinc ingots are small rectangular bars made of zinc metal. They are produced by melting raw zinc and then pouring it into a mold to cool and solidify. Zinc ingots are used in a wide range of applications, such as making batteries, coating steel to prevent corrosion, and making alloys like brass and bronze. Zinc is also used in the production of various household items like door handles, hinges, and faucets.

In summary, zinc ingots are bars of metal made of zinc that have many different uses in industry and everyday life.

What is White Zinc ?

 

White zinc ingots are a high-purity form of zinc ingots with a minimum purity of 99.95%. These ingots are produced using a special process that involves careful control of the melting, casting, and cooling of the zinc metal. This results in a product with superior quality and a bright, silver-white appearance.

Applications of white zinc ingots include:

1.     Galvanizing: White zinc ingots are widely used for galvanizing iron and steel. The bright, corrosion-resistant coating that forms when zinc is applied to iron or steel protects the underlying metal from rust and corrosion.

2.     Die-casting: White zinc ingots are also used in die-casting applications. The high-purity zinc metal is melted and injected into a mold to produce complex shapes and parts.

3.     Alloying: White zinc ingots are used as a raw material for the production of various zinc alloys. Zinc alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including automotive parts, electronic components, and hardware.

4.     Chemicals: White zinc ingots are used in the production of a variety of chemicals, including zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc carbonate.

5.     Batteries: Zinc is used in the production of various types of batteries, including alkaline batteries, zinc-carbon batteries, and zinc-air batteries.

6.     Roofing: Zinc is used as a roofing material due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

7.     Paints and coatings: Zinc is used as a pigment in paints and coatings to improve their durability and resistance to corrosion.

8.     Fertilizers: Zinc is an essential nutrient for plant growth, and is used in the production of fertilizers to improve crop yields.

9.     Pharmaceuticals: Zinc is used in the production of various pharmaceuticals, including dietary supplements, cold remedies, and antiseptics.

10. Rubber industry: Zinc oxide is used in the rubber industry as a vulcanizing agent and activator, improving the performance and durability of rubber products.
