Gi / Hot dip Galvanized Strip
GI (Galvanized Iron) or Hot Dip Galvanized Strips are high-performance, corrosion-resistant metal strips that offer superior durability and strength. Manufactured using a hot-dip galvanization process, these strips are widely used in electrical, industrial, construction, and infrastructure applications. The zinc coating provides excellent protection against rust, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environmental conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Superior Corrosion Resistance
Hot dip galvanized strips are coated with a thick layer of zinc, which forms a protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and oxidation. This makes them ideal for outdoor and industrial applications.
2. High Mechanical Strength
The combination of galvanized coating and structurally strong steel ensures superior mechanical properties. These strips withstand heavy loads, making them suitable for demanding applications like power transmission and structural reinforcement.
3. Long Service Life
With enhanced durability and a protective zinc layer, GI strips last significantly longer than regular steel, reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time.
4. Excellent Electrical Conductivity
GI strips are commonly used in earthing and grounding applications due to their low resistance and efficient conductivity, ensuring electrical safety in power systems.
5. Versatility and Adaptability
Available in different thicknesses and widths, these strips can be tailored for various industries, including construction, telecommunications, and renewable energy projects.
Applications of GI / Hot Dip Galvanized Strips
🔹 Earthing and Grounding Systems – Essential for electrical safety in power plants, substations, and industrial facilities.
🔹 Cable Management – Used for cable trays, conduits, and structural support in electrical installations.
