Galvanizing and Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing

Materials for coating, engraving, electroplating, plating, polishing, anodizing, and galvanizing. (NAICS 3328, NAICS 332812, NAICS 332813)

Materials used in industries related to galvanizing and fabricated metal product manufacturing find use in applications including protective packaging, coating and masking, tooling and fixtures, chemically resistant linings, electrical insulation, enclosures, and structural components.

In protective packaging, materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are used to create sturdy containers, crates, and pallets, ensuring the safe storage and transportation of metal products. Rigid plastics and other materials act as masking agents during metal coating processes, covering specific areas that should not be coated, resulting in precise application and controlled coating results.

For tooling and fixtures, materials like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC) provide dimensional stability and durability, aiding in the fabrication of jigs, fixtures, and templates. Materials with excellent chemical resistance, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and fluoropolymers like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), are used as linings or coatings for tanks, pipes, and equipment, protecting against corrosive substances in chemical processing or electroplating industries.

Additionally, materials like phenolics, polyesters, and rigid plastics are utilized for electrical insulation, enclosures, and structural components. They ensure electrical safety, provide impact resistance, and offer environmental protection for electrical components, control panels, and structural elements.
