Zinc is one of the most important elements in our lives, having a positive impact on growth and wound healing. Zinc protects our bodies from environmental influences. This is why a certain amount of zinc should be ingested every day. Zinc is all around us. Zinc gained from the diecasting process can be found in control elements and components used in automotive engineering. It is also used in hot-dip galvanized railings as well as in eaves and house fronts. Zinc – Pure Life is an information service provided by INITIATIVE ZINK, the German zinc association.
