What is zinc dust?

Zinc dust is a fine (bluish) gray powder of zinc metal that is produced by distilling zinc in closed, horizontal furnaces. The vapor emitted from the zinc is then condensed as dust. Zinc dust is primarily used in paints and coatings to inhibit corrosion. It offers working support as protective pigment in industrial coatings. It is used as catalyst in many chemical reactions. Furthermore, zinc dust is employed as reducing agent and works as precipitant for metals such as copper, gold, silver, and cadmium.

Applications

The many uses of zinc dust

1
Protection against adverse weather conditions

100 million containers ensure the flow of goods around the globe. These building blocks of our global economy are often exposed to extreme weather conditions: high humidity in the tropics, freezing cold in the Arctic, and everything else in between. Protected by a primer rich in zinc particles, they can withstand such conditions without any trouble.

Reduced downtime costs

3% of our GDP is eaten away by rust every year. Zinc dust ensures that downtime due
to corrosion is minimized in almost every industrial sector. With our high-quality zinc dust, ZINCUST helps to reduce the costs of damage due to corrosion.

Standard primers for ships

The International Maritime Organization requires a zinc-rich primer for new ships which extends the life of ships. Ballast tanks, in particular, are subject to rapid corrosion.

Protecting the environment with zinc dust

Tanks damaged by corrosion can inadvertently leak fuel, oil, or chemicals into water or soil. So corrosion protection containing zinc dust directly helps protect the environment.

Preserving the gloss of paint and varnish

In Zincust we process 6,000 tons of zinc dust every year. Zinc-rich primers ensure that paints and varnishes have a durable gloss.

Coil coating in the automotive industry

Increasingly thin layers and more durable protection – that’s what’s required in automotive construction. Coil coating with zinc dust provides better corrosion protection while maintaining the durability of the bodywork.

Maintaining the value of industrial plants

Overhead cranes and harbour cranes, conveyor belts, tank facilities, warehouses and agricultural buildings, silos for sand and gravel plants, asphalt mixtures, cement works … all these industrial plants would depreciate rapidly due to corrosion. Zinc dust from ZINCUST maintains their value.

Extending the life of wind turbines

An investment in wind turbines does not pay off until after 20 years of operation. Corrosion protection therefore plays a key role in the cost-effectiveness of this alternative source of energy. A zinc-rich primer ensures long-term operation.

Corrosion protection for ports and offshore platforms

ports and offshore platforms are continuously exposed to fresh and/or salt water – and sometimes to waste water – for decades. ZINCUST recognises and meets these exceptionally high demands on the corrosion protection system.
