Zinc regulation

Product catalog summary

Zinc Regulation Overview
DOT A/S provides guidelines for zinc regulation based on the average zinc price, which is crucial for the hot-dip galvanizing process. The zinc binds to steel, forming a protective layer, and the regulation is adjusted monthly according to the London Metal Exchange (LME) prices, including a premium for delivery, storage, administration, and supplier fees.

Regulation Categories

Group A (Low Zinc Surcharge): Applied to heavy materials such as UNP and IPE from 160 and all HEB and HEA in straight lengths from 1,500 to 12,800 mm.
Group B (Normal Zinc Surcharge): Used for normal forging work.
Group C (High Zinc Surcharge): For materials with high zinc consumption, including pipe materials, welded mesh reinforcement, finned tubes, or very light constructions.

Zinc Regulation Examples

At an average zinc price of 2,249 €/kg, the regulation is 0.141 €/kg for Group B and 0.094 €/kg for Group A.
At an average zinc price of 2,901 €/kg, the regulation is 0.242 €/kg for Group B and 0.322 €/kg for Group C.

Zinc Regulation Table
The table outlines zinc regulation adjustments based on varying average LME zinc prices, with specific surcharges for Groups A, B, and C. For instance, at a price range of 2,818 - 2,952 €/kg, the surcharges are 0.161 €/kg for Group A, 0.242 €/kg for Group B, and 0.322 €/kg for Group C.
