GALVANIZING AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Galvanizing, the coating of iron or steel with zinc is probably the most environmentally friendly process available
to prevent corrosion. Corrosion costs Europe in excess of 3% of GNP (Gross National Product). Effective corrosion
protection is a vital means of reducing the energy demands of buildings and structures.
Galvanzing is efficient in its use of zinc to protect steel for very extensive periods - saving energy and resources
with minimal impact on the environment. Galvanizing will protect steel structures for decades and minimises
maintenance.
