Technical performance meets Raw material efficiency
More and more customers are demanding a durable surface that consumes fewer resources and at the same time offers intelligent solutions for further processing, such as joining, bonding and cold forming.
As a binary alloy technology, microZINQ is based on the use of an aluminium-containing zinc alloy that achieves a uniform surface with defined functional and aesthetic properties. Due to the higher passivity of the surface, microZINQ is particularly suitable for increased microclimatic requirements.
Properties microZINQ®
- Corrosion protection: Hot-dip galvanising to DIN 50997/DIN EN ISO 14713 in premium quality, maximum cost-effectiveness due to long service life, highest mechanical load-bearing capacity during assembly and use
- Technical features: Optimum appearance and function thanks to uniform layer thicknesses, optimised coatability
- Resource efficiency: Reduced use of zinc thanks to optimised alloys and improved zinc bath management as well as the use of energy-efficient plant and process technology as part of the low-carbon ZINQ programme
- Resource efficiency: eco-friendly and innovative surfaces and processes are Cradle to Cradle Certified® and supported by circular product datasheets (PCDS) in accordance with ISO 59040
- Material health: Use of materials and raw materials of circular quality and free from microplastics, PFAS and PFOS, which can harm humans and the environment. Cradle to Cradle Certified® in accordance with the Material Health Standard and in compliance with the Health Product Declaration® (HPD) standard
- Product Compliance Assessment (PCA) microZINQ-coated steel parts have been assessed as part of the EPEA Product Compliance Assessment (ProCa). The assessment indicates how the product is rated in leading sustainability rating systems (DGNB, BNB, QNG, BREEAM, EU-Tax, LEED).
- Quality: Execution according to certified integrated ZMS (ZINQ Management System according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001 and in accordance with DASt 022) in state-of-the-art plants with continuous process control
- ZINQ 360 - Additional services from A to ZINQ: From design consulting, warehousing and inventory management to complete transport, contract and process logistics, contract manufacturing and assembly, digital marking, automation, post-processing and after-treatment systems
microZINQ® has been honoured

The one with the
German Raw Material Efficiency Award
of the Federal Ministry of Economy
and awarded the Energy Award
was added. In addition to functionality
and aesthetics of galvanized surfaces
The German Raw Materials Efficiency Award is primarily about the potential for saving resources. Thanks to an innovative zinc-aluminum alloy made from 95 percent % zinc and 5 percent % aluminum, microZINQ saves up to 80 percent of % zinc. This innovation was also recognized with the NRW Efficiency Award.
