One of the major applications of zinc is in galvanizing, that is, in the use of zinc as a protective layer of others against oxidation. The coating of a zinc surface results in the protection of the base metal, which can be applied by the sputtering process, which may be gas or electric, and also coated in the hot galvanizing process, in liquid baths or by electrodeposition. It is used in the galvanization of building structures, cast iron pipes, gas cylinders, bridges, electrogalvanization, capacitors, electric energy poles, fences, among others. Another way of using zinc is in the form of oxides, for the manufacture of fertilizers, rubber industry, paint, ceramics, glass and the chemical and food industry.
