Hot-dip Galvanizing
​

Hot-dipped Galvanizing is an in-depth process whereby the steel is primed, removing excess mill scaling, dirt, and debris that accumulates on the metal including any rust particulates that have accumulated on the surface. This accumulation of particulates on the surface is known as the surface profile.  NACE International and the Society of Protective Coatings, as well as, the ASTM International Standard (American Society for Testing and Materials) offer further information on the acceptable standardized practices.  ​
