The protection of steel from corrosion by hot dip galvanizing is already a very old process.In the 1800s the first process was developed by the French man Malouin.Today it is the best and cheapest way of protecting steel from corrosion .It is used in many applications.

In 1722,French chemist paul Jacques Malouin described a method of coating iron by dipping it in molten zinc in a presentation to the French Royal Academy.In 1772,Luigi Galvani (Italy),for whom galvanizing was named discovered the electrochemical process that takes place between metals during

Hot-Dip Galvanized steel is used in thousands of applications throughout the world and yet it has been effectively used for more than several decades. The value of Hot Dip Galvanizing stems from the relative corrosion resistance of zinc, which, under most service conditions, is considerably better than iron and steel. In addition toforming a physical barrier against corrosion, zinc, applied as a Hot Dip Galvanized coating, cathodically protects exposed steel. Galvanizing process is favored because of its low cost and the ease of its applications.

The Jubail Metal Galvanizing Co Ltd plant facility aside from its technical and mechanical characteristics, is engineered to reduce consumption of chemicals and minimize waste production which correspond with a higher quality of the final product.
