Product Information
Natural Zinc sheet metal to EN988, good for fabrication and soldering, typically used in crafts for hand stamping, stencils and etching, also used for table tops, bar tops and roofing
The zinc sheet in our store is known as titanium zinc, it is 99.99% zinc with a very small amount of copper and titanium added which improves malleability and strength.
It is easy to bend, drill and solder. We also sell a good tin/silver self-fluxed solder for use with zinc.
This sheet can also be used as zinc plating anodes in electroplating.
Typical crafting use is for etching plates, stencils, roofs for garden projects, tabletops, counter tops, bar tops. For manipulating sheets with hand tools, the thickness 0.8mm is popular. A soldering iron with a high wattage, say 200w makes jointing much easier than the usual electronics version which can be very hard going.
Following fabrication, a patina can be applied to produce an aged or rustic effect, this can be achieved with copper sulphate solutions which are available online. Outdoors the zinc will acquire its own natural patina which is matt and shades of grey. This will occur after many wet and dry weather cycles. For decorative pieces for use indoors as features or statement pieces the patina finish can be treated with bees wax to seal the surface and liven up the appearance.
Its main commercial use is for building cladding and roofing.
The weight of zinc sheet at 1mm thick is circa 7.2 kilos per square meter.
Natural Zinc is one type of finish we offer. We also have multiple patina finishes available for sale – Please click here
