Zinc (Zn)
Zinc coatings offer higher resistance to corrosion than Nickel coatings are therefore suitable for exposure to water or for outdoor use. Zinc coated magnets have a silvery matte or dull patina. Over time this will develop an oxidised protective barrier between the magnetic material and the environment. This helps by reducing corrosion and increasing the magnet's longevity.
Zinc also provides high resistance to abrasion and scratching. Zinc coated Neodymium magnets are used in motors and the Automotive industry. Although we only keep limited numbers of Zinc coated magnets in stock we are happy to assist customers with custom orders.
