Zinc is a naturally occurring element that plays an extremely important role in both our environment and health. All organisms depend on the presence of zinc and due to its general availability and unique characteristics, it has become an essential component for many metabolic processes that sustain life. In all forms of life, zinc works at the cellular level by enhancing protein and enzyme function and serves many functions related to gene maintenance, the immune system, vision, and organ and tissue growth (International Zinc Association 2017). Simply stated, zinc is essential.
Unfortunately, more than two billion people across the globe don’t receive enough zinc in their daily diets. As a major health issue in numerous developing countries, zinc deficiency poses a serious risk, especially to the young. A lack of the nutrient hampers the immune system, leaving those affected prone to growth retardation, infections, hair loss and skin rashes. Tragically, it has been estimated that over 1.2 million people annually die indirectly from zinc deficiency.
In 2006, the Copenhagen Consensus, a group of internationally acclaimed economists, including five Nobel Laureates, concluded that combating the world’s malnutrition problem through the provision of vitamin A and zinc was rated the highest among the various cost-effective solutions to the worlds pressing problems (IZA 2017)
Although zinc occurs naturally within the environment, many regions lack the element in sufficient concentrations to support healthy crop quality and yields. In fact, half of the world’s cereal crops are grown in zinc-deficient soils. The result is stunted growth, diseased leaves, and anemic harvests in geographies whose populations can least afford it. Compounding the problem—crops that are harvested will ultimately contain low amounts of zinc—thereby contributing to zinc deficiency in those that consume them.
As the global population continues to climb (estimates top 9 billion people by 2050), the agricultural output must expand by 70 percent to meet the world’s nutritional needs. To achieve this level of production, the focus has turned to the potential adoption of zinc fertilizers to help boost crop yields. In China, trials on rice crops have been impressive, demonstrating 20 percent increase in yields and a 40 percent in the nutritional content.
One of zinc’s greatest properties is its ability to protect steel from corrosion. For decades, zinc has played an integral role in safeguarding the core of our nation’s electrical infrastructure—from the largest transmission towers to the most critical distribution components. As a new era in clean and renewable fuels emerge, anti-corrosion zinc coatings such as hot-dip galvanizing and Metalizing thermal spray are now protecting assets such as wind turbines and solar arrays.
Zinc is helping renewable power become 24-hour power. Zinc-based energy storage systems have tremendous advantages including high specific energy, recyclability, safety, low cost, and zero emissions. As a result, zinc is used in the manufacture of a variety of battery chemistries, both primary and rechargeable, consumer, and industrial (IZA 2017).

Protecting steel is at the very heart of our metal coating services. Ensuring that the key element of global infrastructure lasts as long as possible is the definition of sustainability. Eliminating the need to replace fabricated steel products, galvanizing saves energy and natural resources that would be required to create and transport new steel.
By using 100% naturally occurring zinc in our hot-dip galvanizing, we are part of a wholly recyclable process that provides maintenance-free corrosion protection that lasts for decades.

Every year the American Galvanizers Association (AGA) recognizes outstanding applications of hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) with their Excellence in Hot-Dip Galvanizing Awards.
Located in the harsh environment of a limestone quarry, the aggregate screening plant must withstand constant bombardment of small and large pieces of limestone rocks.
It is a dirty job, but somebody has got to do it. A tough, hardy little powerhouse, the dredge works up and down the Mississippi River on the east bank to provide access to the cruise terminals.
The greenhouse was a perfect candidate for the use of hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel. Since the plants grown in the greenhouse require routine watering, the tenacious, water-resistant coating that forms from the zinc patina protects the steel from the corrosive, wet environment.
Spanning eleven active railroad tracks, the oil bridge needs durable protection from the rough, corrosive industrial environment of the railway system.
A duplex system was specifically chosen to offer not only years of care-free maintenance, but also attractive aesthetics that the client could choose to fit their color scheme.
The fabricator understands the harsh environment of an underground limestone mine and knows that hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is the ultimate coating for this environment.
With scores of silver seating rows spanning far into the distance, racetracks are cherished attractions for any community. Rust from corrosion only dulls the city’s charm. For decades, the only corrosion protection used to protect the massive collection of steel used in this structure was paint.
