Why to use 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 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.
