VERTIC ZINC WIRES

Based on long experience in producing continuous casting systems VERTIC ZINC WIRE Oy produces zinc wire in top quality ( High Grade) in all common diameters and packaging for the flame- & arc-spray process.

In manufacturing of Vertic Zinc Wires only Special High Grade Zinc +99,995% virgin ingots are accepted to guarantee the high purity, trouble free operation and high conductivity surface.

When Flame gun is used we recommend Vertic S wire to be utilised.
In case of Electric arc gun either Vertic S or Vertic M are used.
With long hoses or when Al and Zn wires are sprayed simultaneously Vertic H wires are recommended

Key Benefits:

purity Zn > 99,995%, EN 117921,
low Cadmium content Cd 0,0002 - 0,0005 = only ca. 50%
of the highest content allowed according to EN 117921
remarkable adhesiveness of zinc
clean and smooth surface of the wire (good electric conductivity and high durability of nozzle)
