What is Hot Dip Galvanizing - HDG?

Hot Dip Galvanizing (HDG) is basically raw steel put into a large kettle with 850 degree Fahrenheit molten zinc. The iron in the steel metallurgically reacts with the molten zinc to form a tightly-bonded alloy coating that provides superior corrosion protection to steel. HDG provides complete coverage and coating integrity because galvanizing is a total emersion process where all parts of fabricated steel are coated and protected evenly, including internally inside enclosed spaces, where powder coating paint cannot reach.


Benefits of HDG

  • It costs less than paint in the long term life of the steel.

  • It is sustainable. There are no additional maintenance costs like re-painting every 3-5 years.

  • Corrosion protection can last up to 75 years. Galvanizing is a barrier and cathodic protection for the steel against rust and corrosion.
