Premium Galvanized Iron (GI) - Superior Corrosion Protection & Durability

Combat the relentless forces of corrosion and extend the lifespan of your projects with our high-quality Galvanized Iron (GI). Engineered for superior protection, our GI products feature a robust zinc coating, safeguarding the underlying steel from rust, abrasion, and the elements. Ideal for a vast range of industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential applications, our Galvanized Iron offers unmatched reliability and long-term value.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance: The zinc coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the steel even if the surface is scratched or slightly damaged. This prevents rust formation, significantly extending the material's lifespan.
• Exceptional Durability: Combining the inherent strength and rigidity of steel with the protective qualities of zinc, our GI products are built to withstand harsh environments, impacts, and heavy loads.
• Low Maintenance: Reduces the need for frequent painting, repair, or replacement, leading to substantial savings in time and labor over the product's life cycle.
• Versatile Applications: Available in various forms, sizes, and gauges, making it suitable for a wide array of uses from structural components to decorative elements.
• Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While the initial investment may be slightly higher than uncoated steel, the extended lifespan, reduced maintenance, and superior performance of GI deliver significant long-term savings.
• Self-Healing Properties: In the event of minor scratches or cuts that expose the underlying steel, the surrounding zinc acts as a galvanic anode, sacrificing itself to protect the exposed steel.
• Aesthetic Finish: Available with a distinctive spangled (crystalline) or smooth finish, offering both robust protection and a unique visual appeal.
• Formability & Workability: Despite its protective coating, Galvanized Iron remains highly formable and can be easily cut, bent, welded (with proper precautions), and fabricated to meet specific project requirements.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: High-grade steel substrate (e.g., mild steel, structural steel, commercial quality steel).
• Coating Process: Primarily Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) conforming to stringent industry standards. Electro-galvanizing also available for specific applications requiring a thinner, more uniform coating.
• Zinc Coating Thickness/Weight:
  • Available in various coating weights (e.g., G30, G60, G90, G115 for ASTM standards; Z275, Z350, Z450 for European standards) to suit different environmental conditions and longevity requirements.
  • Common ranges from 1.0 to 2.5 oz/ft² (300 to 750 g/m²) total for both sides.
• Available Forms:
  • Sheets: Flat sheets for general fabrication, roofing, and cladding.
  • Coils: For continuous processing and roll-forming applications.
  • Strips: Narrow widths for specific manufacturing needs.
  • Pipes & Tubes: For plumbing, structural frameworks, and conduit.
  • Wires: For fencing, mesh, and agricultural uses.
  • Plates & Structural Shapes: For heavier structural applications (less common for GI sheet but important for the broader GI category).
• Thickness/Gauge: Ranging from thin gauges (e.g., 30 gauge / 0.3mm) for lightweight cladding to heavy gauges (e.g., 10 gauge / 3.4mm) for structural components.
• Widths & Lengths: Customizable to project specifications, with standard widths typically ranging from 914mm to 1500mm and lengths up to 6000mm, or continuous in coils.
• Standards: Conforming to international quality standards such as:
  • ASTM A653/A653M (Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated (Galvannealed) by the Hot-Dip Process)
  • EN 10346 (Continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products)
  • JIS G3302 (Hot-dip galvanized steel sheets and coils)
  • ISO 1461 (Hot dip galvanized coatings on fabricated iron and steel articles)
• Surface Finish:
  • Regular Spangle: The natural, visible crystalline pattern formed during solidification of the zinc.
  • Minimized Spangle: A smaller, less prominent spangle produced by altering the cooling process.
  • Zero Spangle (Smooth/Skin-Passed): A very smooth, uniform surface achieved through skin-passing, ideal for painting or critical aesthetic applications.
• Oil/Passivation: Available with anti-fingerprint coating, oiling, or chromate passivation for enhanced protection during transit and storage.

Common Applications:

• Construction: Roofing sheets, wall cladding, HVAC ductwork, purlins, gutters, downspouts, ceiling grids, door frames, fencing, guardrails, agricultural buildings.
• Agriculture: Silos, grain bins, animal enclosures, farm gates, irrigation components, greenhouse structures.
• Infrastructure: Street signs, lighting poles, cable trays, utility boxes, pedestrian bridges, highway barriers.
• Manufacturing: Appliance casings, automotive parts (certain non-exposed components), outdoor furniture, industrial machinery parts, storage tanks.
• General Fabrication: Toolboxes, sheds, garage doors, custom enclosures, and various DIY projects where weather resistance is crucial.
