"about 50% of the zinc market is used for galvanizing steel as anti-rust protection for car manufacturing and construction. The biggest buyers are China at 45% and Europe at 20%."

As the large zinc mines shut down, zinc juniors are stepping forward to meet growing demand for the industrial staple, argues Joseph Gallucci of Dundee Capital Markets. An interview with The Mining Report.

would be nice considering the amount of zincs under the ground.

even if it takes 3 rotted zinclons to make 1,
it could be more then the 0 they are worth now :laughing7:

We definitely need some type of rust protection.

The Liquid Salt , or whatever they are using on the roads here in PA
are Rotting vehicles something terrible . it's really doing a number on Break & gas lines too.

I looked into Professional Undercoating. It's not Guaranteed

as for Zinclons, Not sure of the Number , but I started saving them seperate last year
