-80 % ZINQ

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 EN ISO 1461/ DIN EN ISO 14713 in brand quality, maximum cost-effectiveness thanks to long service life, maximum mechanical strength during installation 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: environmentally friendly and innovative surfaces and processes are Cradle to Cradle Certified®* and backed by circular Product Carbon Data Sheets (PCDS) according to ISO 59040
  • Material health: Use of materials and raw materials of circular quality and free from microplastics, PFAS, PFOS – safe for people and the environment. Cradle to Cradle Certified® according to Material Health Standard* and in accordance with 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 is Cradle to Cradle Certified® at Gold level for circularity and Silver level for material health according to version 5.0. Cradle to Cradle Certified® is a registered trademark of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

microZINQ® has been honoured

In addition to the Materialica Best-Of-Award and the Industry Award in the supplier category, both of which recognise the innovative strength of microZINQ, microZINQ is the first piece galvanising process to be awarded the German Raw Material Efficiency Prize by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. microZINQ is not only about the aesthetics and functionality of the surface properties, but also about the potential for saving valuable resources. With microZINQ, ZINQ can save up to 80 per cent zinc with an equivalent corrosion protection effect thanks to an innovative zinc melting technology.
