Galvanized steel has become a preferred choice for industries operating in humid or coastal regions, where corrosion poses a significant threat to metal structures. The zinc coating on galvanized steel acts as a barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the underlying metal. Even when scratched, the zinc layer continues to provide sacrificial protection by corroding in place of the steel. This property makes galvanized steel especially suitable for outdoor infrastructure, marine facilities, and utility systems. Its long service life and low maintenance requirements make it an environmentally and economically efficient material.
