Durability and <a class='cat-link' href='https://bigshopper.co.uk/brand/finish/'>Finish</a>

The zinc plating on these bolts significantly enhances their resistance to corrosion. This protective layer serves as a barrier against oxidation, prolonging the life of the product. Should the zinc coating become damaged, it acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning that it will corrode in place of the underlying metal, thus further ensuring the integrity of the fastening system. Moreover, the formation of zinc oxide creates a fine protective layer that shields the bolt from further oxidation, similar to the protective properties of oxides found on aluminium and stainless steels.
