Galvanizing
All material is galvanized in accordance to BS EN ISO 1461 at NK Coatings. The requirements of this standard ensure that the zinc coating is continuous and of the required thickness. With 20 years experience of processing steel products, we pride ourselves in maintaining a quality process to ensure the best quality product for the customer. This is achieved through strict quality checks before and after the galvanising process.
NK coatings have a quality team and laboratory to ensure the process is kept in control.
Early consultation between the galvanizer, fabricator and designer is the key to obtaining the best results from the galvanizing process. Design features which aid the access and drainage of molten zinc will improve the quality of the coating.
The standard galvanize coating can have a typical maintenance free life of up to 50 years in rural areas. Twenty five years in urban/marine areas.
- Technical specification
NK Coatings acts as a specialist subcontractor to the steel fabricator and, as such, our contractural relationship is with the fabricator, not with the ultimate user.
Its is important, therefore, that the user's requirements for galvanizing are made clear to the fabricator and that all communications concerning galvanizing are channelled through the fabricator. To ensure the best quality and technical back up service, it should be stated that the work be processed by a member of the galvanizers association – NK Coatings.
