Platt Brothers manufactures zinc and zinc/aluminum alloy wires for metalized thermal spray coatings. Zinc Wire metalized thermal spray coatings using zinc based alloy wires are crucial in the manufacture of various electronic, capacitor, automotive, heat exchanger, tube & pipe products. Corrosion protection of bridges, locks & dams, above ground storage tanks, light poles, and other critical infrastructure is another important application for metalized thermal spayed coatings of zinc and zinc/aluminum alloy wires.

Zinc Wire Thermal Spray Coating

Wire Diameters are:.057" .064" .079" .091" .125" .1875"

Packaging is available in coils, continuous wire payoffpack drums, and spools.

Platt Zinc Wires are available as either bright or lubricated finishes depending upon the thermal spray equipment used.

Same day shipping service can be provided from either our Zinc Wire Mill Production Facility in Waterbury, Connecticut, our Peru, IL or our Little Rock, Arkansas warehouse, depending upon available stock and destination.

Pure Zinc Wire: Platt zinc wire is 99.99%+ pure zinc wire. A pure zinc wire protective coating offers atmospheric corrosion protection to steel and galvanic anti corrosion prevention on other non ferrous metals superior to conventional anti corrosion paint coatings by three basic forms:

1. Barrier protection
2. Formation of a zinc anti corrosion barrier coating that provides corrosion protection to both the coating and the steel from the environment.
3. Galvanic action; the zinc coating corrodes in preference to the steel.

Melting Point: 787.0 Bond Strength: 1000 psi Max. Service Temp : 140
VOC: 0 Coating Coverage per pound @ 6 mils: 3.5 sq. ft./lbs.


85/15 Zinc/Aluminum Wire: Plattzinc 85/15 wire is an alloy of 85% zinc and 15% aluminum by weight. When sprayed onto steel, the alloy produces a coating with the best anti corrosion characteristics of both metals for optimum corrosion protection. This corrosion resistance alloy is especially effective on steel against sodium chloride(salt), sulfur dioxide and marine environments.

Melting Point: 824.0 Bond Strength: 800-1000 psi Max. Service Temp. 600
VOC: 0 Coating Coverage per pound @ 6 mils: 4.3 sq. ft./lbs.
