Environmentally Friendly Steel Protection
The Advantages of Hot-Dip Galvanization
In the construction industry, protecting steel structures from corrosion is crucial. The method of protection chosen often depends on the building usage. For example, more protection is required for an open warehouse than for a heated office building.
Wet coating is a cost-effective and visually attractive option a various coating thicknesses and colors can be used, that is the reason why this option is very popular. However, what should you choose if you want an environmentally conscious choice? This is where hot-dip galvanization comes into play.
Benefits of Hot-Dip Galvanization:
# Conserves Resources & CO2-Saving:
Hot-dip galvanization utilizes less material than traditional paint coatings, eliminating the need for subsequent touch-ups.
# Energy-Efficient & Eco-Friendly:
Modern galvanizing processes can operate in closed systems, significantly reducing emissions through advanced filtration technologies. Waste heat, exhaust, wastewater… are recycled back into the process, leading to energy savings.
# Recyclable:
When a hot-dip galvanized product reaches the end of its life, the galvanized layer can be separated from the steel and both materials can be recycled almost completely without any loss of quality.
Maintenance-Free & Economical:
Due to its durability, hot-dip galvanization requires no maintenance, which is to say no cost in the long term.
