HDG has several advantages over many other coating methods. While all other coating types provide barrier protection, a product coated with zinc has both barrier and galvanic protection. In addition, its abrasion resistance is higher than that of other coatings. The advantages of HDG can be summarized as follows:

  • Low Cost
  • Low Maintenance Cost
  • Long Service Life
  • Reliability
  • Application Speed
  • Coating Toughness
  • Complete Coating
  • 3-Way Protection
  • Ease of Quality Control
  • Fast Installation
