HZL Promotes Galvanisation to Combat Corrosion and Boost Economy

Vedanta Group firm Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) has emphasised the importance of galvanisation to combat corrosion, which costs India nearly five per cent of its annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

As a leading producer of zinc and lead in India, Hindustan Zinc Ltd plays a crucial role in supplying zinc for galvanisation processes, particularly in steel structures. Ahead of World Corrosion Awareness Day, the company launched initiatives under its 'ZungKeKhilaafZinc' campaign to raise awareness about corrosion and its significant economic impact.

The campaign highlights that corrosion leads to preventable losses exceeding $100 billion annually. Corrosion deteriorates metals through chemical and electrochemical reactions caused by moisture, oxygen, pollutants and salts, resulting in structural damage and risks to infrastructure and vehicles.

Galvanisation using zinc forms a protective barrier, significantly extending the life and performance of metals. Hindustan Zinc Ltd advocates for increased adoption of galvanisation by manufacturers and greater consumer awareness for safeguarding long-term investments like homes and vehicles.
