Our zinc wire is suitable for use with arc spray guns and flame spray guns to create protective, silver-grey zinc coatings on prepared steel surfaces, helping prevent corrosion through sacrificial protection. Contact us for current prices, wire specifications, bulk order rates, and a customized quotation for your thermal spray coating requirements.
What Is Zinc Wire for Thermal Spray?
Zinc wire (also called zinc spray wire or zinc metalizing wire) is a high-purity zinc wire made for thermal spray guns. The gun melts the wire with an electric arc or an oxy-fuel flame, and compressed air blows the molten zinc onto the part.
The sprayed layer is pure zinc. It adheres mechanically to a grit-blasted surface through the energy of the particles hitting it, and it contains no zinc-iron alloy layer. It is slightly porous, but zinc corrosion products tend to fill those pores over time and seal the coating.
How Does Zinc Coated Wire Protect Steel?
- Barrier protection: the zinc layer keeps moisture, salt, and oxygen away from the steel.
- Sacrificial protection: zinc is more reactive than steel, so it corrodes first, even at scratches or chips.
- Self-sealing: zinc corrosion products fill the pores of the coating and slow further attack.
- No cure time: coated parts can go into service as soon as the zinc has cooled.
Zinc spray coatings are widely used on structures exposed to atmospheric and marine conditions. A sealer or topcoat can extend the life further.

How to Use Zinc Coated Wire in an Arc or Flame Spray Gun
- Blast the surface to a clean, rough, near-white finish with a grit blasting machine.
- Load the wire: an Arc Spray Gun uses two wires. A Flame Spray Gun uses one.
- Match wire to gun: use the diameter your gun is built for.
- Spray in even passes, keeping the gun at the recommended distance.
- Build the thickness required by your specification.
- Seal (optional): apply a compatible sealer or topcoat.

How to Choose the Right Zinc Wire
- Spray process: arc (two wires) or flame (one wire).
- Wire diameter: match your gun, such as 2 mm or 3.15 mm.
- Purity: 99.99% zinc is recommended for consistent coating.
- Quantity and packing: spools or bulk drums.
- Coating thickness needed: based on your environment and specification.
- Storage conditions: keep wire dry (see below).
- Support equipment: arc spray gun, thermal spray gun, and air compressor.
Storage tip: store zinc wire in a dry place in its original packaging. Humid storage can form a dull white rust (zinc oxide or hydroxide) on the surface, which can affect feeding.
Zinc Wire Price in India
The zinc wire price in India starts from ₹350 per kg, with an indicative price range of ₹350 to ₹450 per kg. The final cost depends on wire diameter, packaging, zinc purity, order quantity, transportation charges, applicable taxes, and delivery location.
