Frequently asked questions

As a standard, we galvanize products weighing 2 kg/piece and more. Please check with your manager about the possibility and feasibility of galvanizing small products with a smaller weight.

The price of galvanizing is 33.00 UAH/kg of galvanized product (including VAT). This is the price of galvanizing for products weighing 2 kg/piece and more. Please check with the manager for the possibility of galvanizing and the price of galvanizing products with a smaller weight.

To calculate the cost of galvanizing, you must (at least approximately) know the weight of the products you will bring for galvanizing. The cost of galvanizing is calculated from the weight of the products and is the product of the weight of galvanized products and the price of galvanizing.

Example of calculating the cost of galvanizing.

The customer wants to galvanize a gate and a wicket for the house.
The estimated weight according to the specification (sketch) is 420 kg.
The actual weight of the manufactured “black” products is 434 kg (purchased metal with an inflated wall thickness).
The actual weight of galvanized products is 464 kg (the mass increased due to the application of a zinc coating, the average weight increase is about 7%).
The cost of galvanizing products: 464 x 33.00 = 15312.00 (UAH with VAT).

Yes. The minimum order value is 600 UAH (including VAT). Therefore, if you need to galvanize samples, select the appropriate minimum volume.

Payment for small orders (up to 500 kg) is made “on a cash basis” – after galvanizing, you will be sent an SMS with account details for payment, which can be paid at any bank branch or via online banking.

It is not possible to pay for a completed galvanizing order on site in cash.

Please note that when paying the invoice, the payer must be the same as the customer for whom the galvanizing order was opened. Otherwise, the payment will not be credited.

The order fulfillment time is usually no more than 10 working days.

The manager will inform you of the specific time of order fulfillment when you open the order. You will be notified by SMS when the order is ready.

We are located at: Stryi, Promyslova St., 7A, geolocation .

When driving through the city and on Promyslova Street, pay attention to the signs “First Ukrainian Zinc Smelter”. When driving by freight transport, to avoid conflicts with traffic police representatives, entry is possible via the bypass road of the village of Dobrivlyany: turn near the traffic police post geolocation .

When driving through the area, pay attention to the signs: “First Ukrainian Zinc Plant/Office” and “First Ukrainian Zinc Plant/Production.”

You can hand over and receive products for galvanizing during working hours: from 9:00 to 16:00, lunch from 12:00 to 13:00. Production address: Stryi, Promyslova st., 7A . The time for handing over and receiving an order depends on its volume and, as a rule, for small orders is no more than 30 minutes. Be sure to call us before sending products to have our manager form an application for galvanizing.

Park your car near the sign “First Ukrainian Zinc Plant/Office” and go up to the 2nd floor of the factory to the accounting department to process the order. After processing the documents, follow the sign “First Ukrainian Zinc Plant/Production” to the area for unloading products by the craftsman.

To place an order for galvanizing for the first time, you must provide a passport and identification code, to conclude a contract for the performance of hot-dip galvanizing works. When placing subsequent orders, it is enough to provide your last name and first name, as well as the type of products and their approximate weight (with an accuracy of up to hundreds of kilograms).

You will be notified by SMS when your order is ready.

Unloading and loading of products is carried out only by forklift or crane-beam. Manual loading or unloading is not carried out!

In the vast majority of cases, unloading and loading of tented trucks is done by forklifts with side removal of products, which involves removing the side awning of the car.

No. Only products that are no larger than the dimensions of the galvanizing bath 6500x1500x2500 mm (LxWxH) and those that are structurally ready for the hot-dip galvanizing process can be galvanized. For more information, see Preparation for galvanizing .

No. Products must have holes for hanging as well as holes for draining the acid solution and molten zinc. Such holes are best placed at the product design stage. For more information, see Preparation for galvanizing .

No. Paint from the surface of the products or layers of deep steel corrosion on the surface of the products must be removed by sandblasting (shot blasting) prior to the galvanizing process. For more information, see Preparation for Galvanizing .

Call or write to us to clarify the possibility of galvanizing products that have previously been galvanized using the hot-dip galvanizing method.

Yes. In certain cases, the product structure may be subject to deformation during the hot-dip galvanizing process. Take this into account when designing the products.

For more information, see Preparation for galvanizing .

No. During the hot-dip galvanizing process, threads and moving parts are “filled” with zinc. Threaded joints require additional cleaning after galvanizing. And galvanizing products with moving parts is not recommended.

The properties of the coating, in particular its appearance, are determined by the chemical composition of the steel from which the products are made. When hot-dip galvanizing, it is important to have a continuous coating. The color or shade of the coating is not regulated and is not important for protection against corrosion. For more information, see Preparation for galvanizing .

No. During piece hot-dip galvanizing, zinc deposits may form when products are removed from the melt. The deposits may look like needles, foil, or simply thickenings of the coating in a certain place. This is the norm of hot-dip galvanizing. The final cleaning of products from deposits (adjustment of individual parts of a more complex product) is performed by the customer. Take this into account when planning production and estimating the costs of obtaining the final product.

No. When moisture (rain, snow, dew, fog) gets on freshly galvanized products, “white rust” forms on their surface – a product of the interaction of water with zinc. It practically does not affect the corrosion properties of the coating, but spoils the appearance of the products after galvanizing. To avoid the formation of “white rust”, it is recommended to keep freshly galvanized products under cover for up to two weeks, to form oxide and carbonate films on the surface.

Yes. But for painting products after galvanizing, special paints must be used that take into account the fact that adhesion to the freshly galvanized coating is weak. Sometimes, to improve adhesion, freshly galvanized products are sandblasted or shot-blasted with a fine abrasive fraction before painting.

In case of need to perform additional work required for the galvanizing process, for example: drilling technological holes, removing contaminants from the surface of the Products that cannot be removed during the etching process, the Contractor performs these works based on the cost of the work, which is 300.00 hryvnias (three hundred hryvnias 00 kopecks), including VAT 50.00 hryvnias (fifty hryvnias 00 kopecks) for one hour of paint removal and 15.00 hryvnias (fifteen hryvnias 00 kopecks), including VAT 2 hryvnias 50 kopecks (two hryvnias 50 kopecks) for making one hole.

In the event that the Contractor stores galvanized products for a period of more than 14 calendar days, upon notification of the Customer about the fact of galvanizing the products in accordance with clause 2.7 of the Agreement, the Customer shall additionally pay the Contractor the amount of funds for storing galvanized products on the Contractor’s territory. The storage cost is calculated based on the price of 30.00 (thirty UAH. 00 kopecks), including VAT of 5 UAH (5 UAH. 00 kopecks) per 1 (one) square meter of occupied area for 30 (thirty) days of storage, where the first day of paid storage is the 15th (fifteenth) day from the moment of notification about the fact of galvanizing the products.
