Galvanising or galvanisation is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which the parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.
A galvanising business refers to running a facility which protects ironwork and steelwork from corrosion by means of the galvanising process.
Target Market
