Zinc Powders
Zinc powder is used primarily in providing corrosion or UV protection in paints and as a catalyst in chemical processes. We stock one grade of Zinc powder which is 4-6 micron.
Zinc Flakes
Novamet Zinc Flake has a bright metallic appearance. A major application is in aerosols that are used to impart a galvanized steel look to metal substrates. Zinc Flake is an excellent alternative to aluminium in powder coatings. It is also useful in zinc rich protective coatings.
Applications for zinc flake include alkaline batteries, fuel cells, zinc air batteries, feedstock for chemical reactions and friction compound additives.
