Professional Hot Zinc Spraying

This method involves melting zinc wire and using compressed air to project the molten metal onto a prepared surface. The result is a dense and consistent anti-corrosion coating that bonds mechanically to the substrate. Because the application is controlled by hand, we can achieve a uniform thickness even on complex shapes or intricate decorative ironwork. Our technicians in Thetford are trained to handle projects of all scales, ensuring that every square inch of the metal is sealed against moisture and oxygen.

Thermal Zinc Spraying

Often referred to as zinc metal spraying, this process is an essential step for any project where long term maintenance is a concern. The thermal spraying process creates a sacrificial layer. If the top coating is eventually scratched or damaged, the zinc will corrode in preference to the steel underneath, effectively healing the breach and preventing the spread of rust. This makes it a preferred choice for marine environments, agricultural machinery, and external architectural features throughout Norfolk.

Why is Hot Zinc Spray a Superior Alternative to Hot Dip Galvanising?

Many people default to galvanising without realising the potential risks to their metalwork. Unlike hot dip galvanising, which submerges metal in molten zinc at 450°C, hot zinc spray or thermal spraying is a cold process that prevents heat-related warping or distortion. This is a vital consideration for thin gauge materials or precision engineered parts that must remain perfectly straight.

It is superior for precision engineering and large architectural pieces because it offers immediate SA2.5 corrosion protection and creates an ideal porous base for powder coating. Furthermore, there is no limit on component size since the process is not restricted by the dimensions of a dipping tank. You get the same level of protection as galvanising without the fear of structural damage or the physical limitations of bath size.
