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.

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-Plating Dyes
Use these dyes at the end of your zinc-plating process to add a decorative appearance.
Yellow dye creates a finish similar to cadmium yellow chromate. One bottle makes four gallons of dye.
Black dye comes in two bottles. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. They make one gallon of dye.
Zinc-Plating Kits
Create your own zinc-plating system to add corrosion resistance to steel and iron parts. Kits include an instruction manual as well as the chemicals, containers, and many of the accessories required to degrease, plate, and dye parts (dye sold separately). They come with a zinc brightener for a shiny finish and an abrasive nylon wheel for a dull one.
Each step requires an external heat source (not included). For degreasing, use a high-powered immersion heater. For plating and dyeing, use a low-powered heater, such as a fish tank heater. Kits also require muriatic acid for cleaning parts and a DC power supply and conductive wire for plating (not included).
| For Use On | Includes | Each | |
| Steel, Iron | Two Plating Tanks with Lids, Two Zinc Anodes, Two Bottles of Concentrate (Part A), Two Bags of Concentrate (Part B), Zinc Brightener, Degreaser, Agitation Pump, Abrasive Nylon Wheel, Plating Manual | 000000 | 0000000 |
Casting Metals
Melt and pour these alloys into molds to create metal parts and prototypes.
Zinc alloy is nonshrinking and corrosion resistant. Parts cast from this material are easy to machine.
