Through a chain that integrates mining and metallurgy, we provide essential products for the energy transition, for the development of a low carbon economy and for people’s lives.
Whether in the field, in the city, or on the move, the metals we produce are present in everyone's day to day life.
Due to its versatility, Zinc is a raw material that is widely used in the galvanization process for constructions. Zinc coats steel or cast iron parts in a protective layer in order to avoid corrosion – making works and constructions more durable and, consequently, sustainable.
The use of galvanized steel in means of transportation provides an anti-corrosive effect as it protects the strength and safety of steel in automobile bodywork and makes combustion more efficient, reducing CO2 emissions. Copper, on the other hand, is a metal used mainly in electric car batteries.
Zinc is a key material in the production of solar and wind energy generation plates. In metal roofing, for example, Zinc provides protection against oxidation and eliminates the risk of cracking or breaking – a much safer and sustainable alternative.
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for human health and is directly linked to our food. In agriculture, it is used in enriched fertilizers, where it improves the absorption of water from the soil and contributes to stronger and healthier crops.
Besides being vital for our biological functions, Zinc is also essential for the manufacturing of hospital equipment, once it has high anti-corrosion power and facilitates the cleaning of these materials.
Zinc and copper are widely used in electronic devices such as laptop batteries, smartphones and mice – proving to be essential in our daily lives. Zamac is also an important material in the manufacturing of connectors, lamp housings, and LED fixtures. In addition, many everyday items such as refrigerators, microwaves, and stoves are coated with galvanized steel.
Nossos produtos fazem parte do dia a dia de todos. Seja no campo, na cidade, ou em movimento, os metais que produzimos estão presentes.
