Zinc flake coatings are applied to a variety of parts and system components used in a diverse set of industrial applications, including: For automotive industry: Automotive sub-frames, chassis assemblies, fasteners, springs. For MEP industry: Construction building components.

While zinc plating uses electrical current to apply the zinc coat, zinc flake coating is a non-electric process where zinc and aluminum flakes are applied with the use of different coating techniques such as dip-spin, rack dip-spin or spraying. Both processes aim to increase corrosion resistance.
