About the metal

What is Zinc?

Zinc is a bluish-white base metal whose dominant use is galvanizing — coating steel to prevent corrosion in everything from car bodies to power pylons. It is also a key alloying element in brass and a critical micronutrient. China is by far the largest producer, with mining and smelting capacity concentrating supply risk. Spot zinc is quoted on the London Metal Exchange.
