Zinc Wire
Zinc wire is a slender, ductile metallic filament made of zinc, a naturally occurring element known for its reactivity. We manufacture our zinc wires from SHG (Special High Grade) zinc ingots with a purity of 99.995%, as specified by EN 1179 under “Z1.”
Available in various diameters and lengths, our zinc wires are tailored to meet specific industrial applications. Their ductility allows for easy shaping into different configurations with varying surface finishes based on manufacturing processes and intended uses to ensure optimal performance in applications ranging from construction to electronics. Our commitment to quality guarantees that our zinc wires effectively meet diverse industry requirements.
Features
Purity
We source raw materials from LME-approved brands, maintaining a purity level of 99.995%. This guarantees consistent performance, reduces impurities and enhances reliability in metallizing and coating applications.
Electrical Conductivity
Our zinc wires are highly conductive, making them ideal for critical processes like arc and flame spraying. This ensures efficient energy transfer and strong coating adhesion.
Surface Quality
We follow a strict production process to manufacture zinc wires with a smooth, contaminant-free surface. This reduces nozzle clogging and ensures consistent flow for an even coat, improves operational efficiency and results.
Customization
We manufacture a variety of zinc wires in different diameters and specifications to meet unique customer requirements and optimise performance.
Applications
Metallizing
Zinc wires are used in thermal spraying to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
Ship Decks
Ship decks are often coated with zinc to resist corrosion from harsh marine conditions.
Gas Cylinders
Zinc coatings on gas cylinders enhance corrosion resistance and prevent leaks.
Bridges
Zinc metallizing is used in shielding steel bridges from corrosion, extending their lifespan.
Heavy Machinery and Vehicles
Zinc coatings reduce corrosion in heavy machinery and vehicles that are often used in environments that can cause corrosion..
Capacitors
Zinc wire is suitable for electromagnetic shielding. Its high conductivity protects sensitive components from electromagnetic interference. The cold metallizing process allows use in delicate devices without damaging plastic housings, making it suitable for compact electronics. Zinc’s corrosion-resistant coatings enhance durability and protect components.
Zinc Wire FAQs
What is Zinc Wire used for?
Zinc wire is fed into thermal-spray (metallizing) guns to deposit a protective zinc coating on steel and iron, giving long-term corrosion protection for bridges, pipelines, tanks and structural steel. CeeDee’s 99.995% pure zinc wire also serves galvanizing, electroplating and capacitor end-metallizing.
Why choose Cee Dee Metalloys Zine Wire?
Our Zinc Wire offers high purity, consistent spray performance, and excellent corrosion resistance for industrial applications.
What diameters and spool sizes are available?
CeeDee supplies zinc wire in the standard thermal-spray diameters (commonly 2.0–3.17 mm) on precision-wound spools and coils sized for continuous arc- and flame-spray operation. Custom diameters and packaging are available for OEM and export orders.
How effective is Zinc Wire against corrosion?
Zinc Wire provides long-lasting protection against moisture, salt spray, and industrial pollutants.
Can Zinc Wire be cutomized?
Yes, Zinc Wire can be customized in diameter and length to meet specific metallizing and industrial requirements.
How much does zinc wire cost?
Zinc wire is priced by weight and purity, and varies with LME zinc rates, diameter and order volume. As a direct manufacturer, CeeDee offers bulk and export pricing — request a live quote with your diameter, spool size and quantity for current rates.
What purity is CeeDee's zinc wire?
CeeDee manufactures ultra-pure zinc wire at 99.995% purity, verified by on-site laboratory testing and backed by two granted US patents on zinc-wire manufacturing and composition, ensuring consistent deposition efficiency and coating quality.
How long does a zinc-wire coating last?
A correctly applied thermal-sprayed zinc coating can protect steel for 20+ years even in aggressive environments, because zinc acts as a sacrificial anode — it corrodes in place of the steel. Coating life scales with applied thickness.
Is CeeDee zinc wire better than imported wire?
CeeDee combines 30+ years of manufacturing, ISO 9001:2015 certification, patented compositions and in-house lab QC, delivering consistent 99.995% purity with local support and faster lead times than most imports for Indian and regional buyers.
How do I order or request a sample?
Send your specification — diameter, purity, spool weight and quantity — through the contact form or sales line, and CeeDee’s team will confirm pricing, lead time and samples. Bulk and export enquiries are welcomed.
