Benefits of HDG

LOWEST FIRST COST 
Hot Dip Galvanising costs less & last longer than other protective coatings. The initial cost graph below demonstrates the cost outlay involved. 

LOWEST LONG-TERM COST 
Even in cases where initial cost of galvanising is higher than its substitutes, Hot Dip Galvanising will still contribute to lower long term costs which will result in lower total costs over the long run. 

ECONOMICAL 
Hot Dip Galvanising is more economical comparing with other protective systems due to its processing line. Competing coatings has high variable components such as labor costs that factually inflates over time.

LONG LIFE 
Standard 610gm squared has a typical life span (without maintenance) of more than 50 years in rural environment & 20 to 25 years in urban & coastal conditions.

RELIABILITY 
The galvanised coatings are bonded metallurgically to the base steel so that it becomes part of the steel surface it protects. Therefore the coating life & performance are highly reliable & predictable.

TOUGHNESS 
Galvanised steel has a unique metallurgical structure which gives outstanding resistance to mechanical damage in transit, erection & service.

LOW MAINTENANCE 
Galvanised steel defers the need for maintenance over a much longer period than other protective systems which contributes to savings.

ORGANIC PROTECTION FOR DAMAGED AREAS 
Zinc is known for its sacrificial or cathodic protection that will organically re-protect small areas of damage. Therefore providing continuos protection, eliminating maintenance work.

COMPLETE PROTECTION 
Hot Dip Galvanising will reach every section, recess, sharp corners & areas that are inaccessible for other protective systems.

QUALITY CONTROL 
The thickness of the protection is controlled throughout the entire steel section adhering to specified standards.

TIME SAVINGS 
Galvanising is faster than painting & eliminates on-site painting therefore saving substantial time in site erection or assembly.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES 
Galvanising will not change the base mechanical properties of commonly galvanised structural steel.
