Zinc is a bluish-white Metal with a lustrous appearance when freshly polished. It has a relatively low density, making it lighter than most common Metals such as iron or copper. Zinc has a melting point of about 419 degrees Celsius (786 degrees Fahrenheit) and a boiling point of approximately 907 degrees Celsius (1665 degrees Fahrenheit). These relatively low temperatures make zinc easy to melt and cast into various shapes. Zinc is a relatively soft metal, ranking 2.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It is highly ductile, meaning it can be drawn into thin wires, and it is malleable, allowing it to be easily shaped and formed into different structures.

Zinc is a moderately reactive metal. It readily reacts with acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, to produce zinc salts and release hydrogen gas. However, it does not react with water at room temperature. Zinc is commonly used as an alloying agent with other metals to form various alloys. For example, brass is an alloy composed of zinc and copper, while zinc-aluminum alloys (e.g., Zamac) combine zinc with aluminum, magnesium, and Copper to produce materials with enhanced properties like increased strength and improved casting characteristics.

• Strength: It is a weak metal with a tensile strength of less than half that of carbon steel. It is not generally used in bearing applications, although inexpensive mechanical parts can be taken from the mold.
• Hardness: Pure zinc has low hardness and is generally brittle, but zinc alloys are highly resistant compared to other casting alloys.
• Flexibility: Zinc is conductive and flexible at 212 to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. But at high temperatures it becomes brittle. However, this property of flexibility in zinc alloys is greater than that of pure zinc.
• Conductivity: The conductivity of zinc as a metal is moderate. But its strong electrochemical properties work well in the galvanizing process and alkaline batteries.

Important applications of zinc metal in various industries have caused this material to be produced and supplied by manufacturing factories with different degrees of purity, this material in the automotive industry, kitchen appliances, solder, Steel coating, dentistry, flooring, dyeing and manufacturing adhesives, batteries, military industries and the production of weapons and ammunition, cement, kitchen appliances, rubber, leather, health and cosmetics and have a wide range of applications. 

Various methods for metal processing and extraction that are extracted in the factories of our country using the method of hydro-metallurgy, each of these grades of this product has different applications and consequently are offered at different prices. Types of purity of zinc ingots include; 98.99%, 97.99%, 99.99%, and 99.95%, the increasing use of this metal in the infrastructure, automobile, and wagon industries, has made this special product, in addition to widespread use in domestic industries. To be exported to different parts of the world as important export goods.

Zinc exhibits good electrical conductivity, although it is not as conductive as metals like copper or aluminum. It is frequently used as a coating on other metals to provide cathodic protection against corrosion. Zinc is highly resistant to corrosion, which is one of its most valuable properties. When exposed to the atmosphere, zinc forms a protective layer of zinc oxide or zinc carbonate, preventing further oxidation and protecting the underlying metal from rust and corrosion. This property makes zinc an excellent choice for applications such as galvanizing. Zinc is relatively non-toxic to humans and has low bioavailability. It is an essential trace element required for the proper functioning of the human body. However, excessive exposure to zinc can have adverse health effects.
