The surface coating industry is undergoing major
changes. Environmental requirements have eliminated
many standard procedures on the basis of composition,
application use of ultimate disposal.
Galvanizing fortunately enjoys considerable environmental cleanliness and product
cost stability. As a consequence of this, together with continuous process development
and a modest labour component, galvanizing is now generally competitive in first
cost as well as in life-cycle cost.
This major advance offers viability for galvanized coatings in many areas. |

bridge and the new lime neutralisation plant at Pasminco
Metals - EZ refinery, Hobart. First cost was less
than the paint system used on earlier work. |
