Why to use die-cast zinc?

USBECK – Der Werstoff Zink

The majority of our clamp and bosshead assortment, as well as various parts of other assemblies we cast with our own zinc diecasting machine. 

Using zinc die-cast articles for laboratory supplies has proved effective.

The advantages:

  • Better energy efficiency during casting process thanks to a lower melting point, when compared to aluminum or malleable cast iron
  • High recycling proportion of at least 75% of raw material used
  • High stability also of thin-walled parts e.g. bossheads
  • Excellent cost-performance ratio of our basic assortment
  • Good corrosion resistance – protection through natural passivation (reaction of zinc with oxygen at the surface)
  • Corrosion resistance can be further enhanced by powder coating or nickel plating

In addition, we offer products made from steel, brass, aluminium and stainless steel.
