Zinc Metal is used in multiple applications. Excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, the major application for Zinc is galvanizing. Zinc’s relatively low melting point and good tensile strength characteristics account for its use as die-casting alloy.
Forms: - 3/4" and Down Mossy
- 40-30 Waffle
Belmont Product Code 8011 Nominal Composition: - 99% Zn

Mainly used in galvanizing steel to prevent rusting, in zinc die casting alloys and in copper based alloys, such as brass. Zinc is also essential to the growth of many kinds of organisms, both plant and animal. Zinc also extends the life of other material such as steel (by hot dipping or electrogalvanizing), rubber and plastics (as an aging inhibitor) and wood (in paints)
Forms: - 2-14 Mesh Shot
- 50 lb Slabs

Zinc Sheets designed for food grade service, such as counter tops, bar tops, decorative items. We recommend the use of the .027 for sinks, counters, and bar tops. Since a 39″ x 96″ sheet can weigh 35 lb., we suggest that for certain installations, such as cabinet surfaces, the use of our .020:” thickness should be considered. We stock several thickness and our most popular grade is .027” thick. It also comes in an .019, .040″ and .060″ thicknesses. The .030″ sheets are produced in one standard size of 39″ x 96″. Other sizes, such as 120” long, are available for special order.
Forms: - .027" x 39.37" x 96" (22 Gauge)
- .060" x 39.37" x 96" (15 Gauge)
- .040" x 39.37" x 96" (18 Gauge)
Belmont Product Code 800.027S Nominal Composition: - 99.99% Zn
