Zinc Scrap — All Grades

Zinc scrap is essential to galvanizing, die casting, and chemical industries. We supply New Production, Old Production, Zamak die cast, and dross grades — all sourced and graded with care.

5 Zinc Scrap Grades

Zinc scrap purity depends heavily on origin — factory-new offcuts are very pure, while service-exposed material or dross carries oxides and other metals. Each grade suits specific downstream applications from pure re-melt to zinc chemical production.

New Production Zinc
Also known as: New Zinc / Prime Zinc Scrap
Zn 98–99.5%

New Production zinc scrap comes directly from zinc manufacturing or fabrication operations — offcuts, punchings, and stampings that have never been in service. The highest purity zinc scrap grade, closest to primary zinc metal.

Typical Composition
Zinc (Zn) 99%
Lead (Pb) 0.5%
Other 0.5%
Common Applications
GalvanizingZinc oxide productionDie casting alloysBrass making
Old Production Zinc
Also known as: Old Zinc / Used Zinc Scrap
Zn 94–98%

Old Production zinc comes from end-of-life zinc products — roofing, gutters, downspouts, and zinc die cast components that have been in service. Slightly lower purity than New Production due to weathering and contamination.

Typical Composition
Zinc (Zn) 96%
Lead (Pb) 2%
Iron (Fe) 1%
Other 1%
Common Applications
Secondary zinc smeltingGalvanizingRubber chemicalsZinc alloys
Zinc Die Cast Scrap
Also known as: Zamak Scrap / ZDC Scrap
Zn 92–96%

Zinc die cast scrap comes from automotive, electrical, and consumer goods die cast components — door handles, carburettors, and switch housings. Zamak alloys (Zn-Al-Mg-Cu) are the most common. High aluminium content distinguishes this from pure zinc scrap.

Typical Composition
Zinc (Zn) 94%
Aluminium (Al) 4%
Copper (Cu) 1%
Magnesium (Mg) 0.04%
Common Applications
Zamak die castingAutomotive partsLock bodiesPlumbing components
Zinc Dross
Also known as: Galvanizing Dross / Skimmings
Zn 85–92%

Zinc dross is the oxide-rich surface material skimmed off molten zinc baths during galvanizing operations. It has high zinc content but requires re-refining. A large-volume byproduct of India's growing steel galvanizing industry.

Typical Composition
Zinc (Zn) 88%
Zinc Oxide 8%
Iron (Fe) 3%
Other 1%
Common Applications
Zinc oxide productionSecondary zinc refiningZinc ingot making
Zinc Ash
Also known as: Blue Powder / Zinc Skimmings
Zn 55–75%

Zinc ash is the lighter, more oxidised surface material from molten zinc baths — less dense than dross and with higher oxide content. Used as a feedstock for zinc oxide and zinc chemical manufacturers.

Typical Composition
Zinc (Zn) 65%
Zinc Oxide (ZnO) 25%
Chlorides / Other 10%
Common Applications
Zinc oxide (ZnO) productionRubber industryPaint pigmentsFertilizer additives
