Zinc Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Specifications Met: ASTM B418 Type 1, MIL-A-18001
Cut and thread discs and other parts that draw corrosion away from nearby metal in water tanks, heat exchangers, and marine applications. These rods are made almost purely of zinc and meet MIL-A-18001, which means they break down faster than other types of metal. Attach your parts directly to the materials you want to protect.

Zinc Sheets
Considered commercially pure, this material is 99% zinc.
Use foil as an alternative to lead for sound barriers and vibration dampers, as well as for EMI-RFI shields and architectural sheeting.
Use sheets to make parts that draw corrosion away from nearby metal in water tanks, heat exchangers, and marine applications. They meet MIL-A-18001 for chemical composition, so they break down faster than other types of metal. Attach them directly to the materials you want to protect.
