Why choose zinc plated finishing?
Our zinc plated finishing service achieves finely coated corrosion resistant tubing.
For good corrosion and heat resistance, our zinc plated finish is a light weight solution producing a much thinner coating compared to hot dipped galvanising.
Zinc plated tubing is often recommended because of its shiny and highly aesthetic appearance for the leisure sector, commercial goods, automotive and many other applications.
The Elite Tube team can guide you on the most appropriate finish for your tubing requirements; zinc plated finishing can then be achieved on your steel tubes for increased protection against damage and wear and tear where this is advisable.
What is zinc plated tube?
Zinc plating is achieved through immersion of steel tube in a bath of electrolyte solution.
Zinc plating is achieved through immersion of steel tube in a bath of electrolyte solution. Electrodeposition is then used to coat the product in zinc. This occurs when both zinc (the anode) and the steel product (the cathode) are submerged in the bath and exposed to an electric current, breaking down the zinc which becomes free to transfer to the steel.
