Galvanized steel

Galvanized steel is one of the most commonly used processes to protect materials from corrosion. It consists of applying a thin layer of zinc to a material, thereby protecting it from the environmental conditions to which it may be exposed.

What is Galvanized Steel?

When this layer of galvanizing is applied, a silver color is obtained in the materials and it provides anticorrosive properties that prevent oxidation.

• Longer life of materials: When they have a dip galvanizing process, their life time can vary between 30 to 40 years, depending on the degree of exposure and the environment in which it is located, whether rural, urban, industrial or marine.
• No maintenance cost required: Thanks to its properties, it will not be necessary to paint or carry out any type of maintenance.
• Cost-benefit: Compared to other protection methods such as painting, its cost is lower since it is and, as mentioned, requires little maintenance.
• It is very versatile: It can be applied to different types of materials from sheets, wires, tubes, profiles, among others, in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Galvanized steel can be combined with concrete, stainless steel and aluminum structures, both to modify their aesthetics and to further increase their durability.

It is a reliable process for Galvanized Steel

It is regulated by national and international regulations, so they are simple and fully controlled.

Immersion galvanizing ensures coating of the entire piece, inside and out.

High resistance

Thanks to its alloy that is achieved, it provides great resistance to bumps and scratches, derived from movements, installations and, unlike other types of coating such as zinc, it covers defects caused by damage and scratches in the material.

It is easy to handle

It can be welded or screwed, reducing construction times.

It is a very fast process

The materials that undergo this process can be used immediately, regardless of atmospheric conditions, or stored for a long time without fear of deterioration.

Provides greater protection

Galvanized steel coating is harder and more resistant than any other type of coating. Over time, a thin layer of zinc oxide forms, which acts as an insulator for the galvanized coating. Surface scratches cause a blockage due to a chemical reaction on the damaged surface.
