Zinc Scrap
Zinc Scrap
Shin Ocean Inc. supplies premium Zinc Scrap in the form of die castings, sheets, skimmings, and dross, all sorted and cleaned to meet foundry and galvanizing standards. With 85–98% purity depending on grade, our zinc scrap plays a critical role in reducing the carbon footprint of several key industries, while providing metallurgical strength and corrosion resistance at a fraction of the cost of virgin zinc.
Where It’s Used & Why It Matters:
- Steel Galvanization: Recycled zinc is used to coat steel for corrosion protection, extending product life in construction, power lines, and bridges.
- Brass & Bronze Production: Zinc scrap is alloyed with copper to create industrial-grade brass and bronze — widely used in valves, fasteners, and decorative fittings.
- Die Casting for Automotive & Appliances: Reprocessed into small precision parts like gear housings, locks, handles, and motor components.
- Battery Manufacturing: Some zinc scrap grades are refined into zinc oxide for use in rechargeable and single-use battery cells.
- Eco-Efficient Manufacturing: Using recycled zinc reduces energy consumption by up to 76% versus mining and smelting virgin ore.
