Zinc Strip

We give you options.

ARTAZN’s core expertise has always been creating the highest quality zinc strip from a variety of alloy compositions. That variety is key. We use 99.995% pure high-grade zinc to develop alloys through the precise and controlled addition of other metals, creating a family of alloys that tremendously expands our scope of applications.

We customize solutions to you.

The benefit of our family of alloys is four-fold: we can cater to more industries, particularly the coinage, automotive, building, and cathodic industries; consistently meet customers’ unique requirements; expand our customers’ product capabilities; and save our partners significant cost.

If any requested application falls outside our current scope, our product development team can work with customers to develop new alloys for new products. We are the largest zinc strip producer in North America and have in-house capabilities for melting, alloying, casting, rolling, slitting, and plating operations.

PROCESS

Trust our precision to promise you better performance.

Our manufacturing facility has one of the largest melting, casting, and rolling capacities in the world. We offer cut-to-length zinc sheets that are 27 inches (685.8 mm) wide and 215 inches (5461 mm) long.

We adhere to high-quality standards for our products and processes. We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified company and strive to provide excellent products for our customers.

1

Melting and Alloying

Our facility has one of the world’s largest zinc melting capacities that can alloy a diverse range of compositions.

2

Casting and Rolling

Depending on the zinc strip alloy, we roll the coil close to three-thousandths of an inch and slit according to the requirement.

3

Slitting

Our extensive zinc strip slitting and plating capacities give our customers a variety of widths and plating finishes that can help meet their market’s ever-changing demands.

PLATING

Choose the perfect finish.

Each of our plating options has a purpose and an advantage, like improving aesthetics or increasing durability against extreme temperatures and humidity. Consult us for the right plating option for you.
