Hot Dip Galvanizing Capabilities:
ASP’s experience with hot dip galvanizing dates back to the 1980s, and we are able to offer general hot-dip galvanizing services for any steel structure.
What is Hot Dip Galvanizing:
Hot Dip Galvanizing is the process of coating steel with a layer of zinc. Before the process can begin, the steel goes through a comprehensive chemical cleaning and also undergoes a special treatment of its surface. The steel is then dipped into a bath of molten zinc that has been heated to around 450 °C.
Why Choose Hot Dip Galvanizing?
1. Corrosion resistance: The process of hot dip galvanizing protects steel from corrosion by providing a thick, tough, metallurgically bonded zinc to steel layer, which completely covers the steel surface and seals it from the corrosive action of its environment.
2. Long life:
The life expectancy of hot dip galvanizing exceeds 50 years, depending on the environmental factors it is exposed to.
3. Lower maintenance costs:
The long life of the galvanizing procedure makes it the most economical way of protecting steel for long periods. Hot dip galvanized coatings are self-maintaining and are thicker, which contribute to the low maintenance and upkeep cost.
4. Reliability:
As the hot dip galvanizing process is carried out, clients can rest assured that coating thicknesses and life as well as performance are reliable and predictable.
5. Speed:
A full protection coat can be applied in hours, while a more complex paint system requires a week.
6. Durability:
A galvanized coat includes a unique metallurgical structure which offers exceptional resistance to mechanical damage during handling, storage, transport and construction.
7. Complete coverage:
As the steel is dipped in molten zinc, all parts of the steel surface are coated, which includes the inside, outside and any hard-to-reach corners or narrow gaps, which are impossible to protect in any other way.
8. Automatic protection for damaged areas: Galvanized coating offers total protection, thanks to the Cathodic protection, which is a technique used in galvanizing. This is especially true when it comes to small areas, should the steel be exposed through damage to the coating.
9. Quick installation:
Hot Dip Galvanizing only requires one step, and once the material has been galvanized, there is no need for any other preparations on site.
