THE BENCHMARK FOR
CORROSION PROTECTION
Hot-dip galvanizing is a proven process that protects steel from corrosion by immersing it in molten zinc at approximately 450°C (840°F). Prior to galvanizing, the steel is carefully cleaned to remove contaminants and ensure a proper bond.
When dipped, zinc reacts metallurgically with the steel to form a series of zinc-iron intermetallic layers that are permanently bonded to the surface. This creates a durable, abrasion-resistant coating, not just a surface layer. The outer zinc layer also provides sacrificial protection, meaning it will corrode first to shield the underlying steel.
The result is long-lasting corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance, and lower lifecycle costs, even in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
SUPREME’S GALVANIZING PROCESSING:
STEP BY STEP
Degreasing/Caustic Cleaning
First the steel is immersed in an acid degreasing bath or caustic solution in order to remove the dirt, oil, and grease from the surface. After degreasing, the steel is rinsed with water.
Pickling
The steel is then immersed in an acid tank filled with either hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, which removes oxides and mill scale. Once all oxidation has been removed, it is again rinsed with water.
Fluxing
The purpose of the flux is to clean the steel of all oxidation developed since the pickling of the steel, and to create a protective coating, before entering the galvanizing kettle.
Zinc Bath
Steel is now ready for immersion in the molten zinc. The steel products remain in the kettle until the temperature of the steel has reached the temperature required to form a hot-dip galvanized coating.
Post Treatment
Once removed from the kettle, it may receive a post-treatment to enhance the galvanized coating. One of the most commonly used treatments is quenching. Other finishing steps include removal of zinc drips, by grinding or filing them off.
PREPARING YOUR STEEL
FOR HOT-DIP GALVANIZING
Successful hot-dip galvanizing begins with proper design and fabrication. A consistent, high-quality coating depends on thoughtful preparation long before the steel reaches the galvanizing kettle. Strong results are achieved through planning, not by chance.
Supreme’s Master Galvanizers work closely with fabricators and engineers to review drawings and provide guidance to help ensure materials are properly prepared for galvanizing. Early coordination helps prevent delays, reduce modifications, and deliver reliable, long-lasting corrosion protection. However, it remains the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all materials are fabricated in accordance with accepted galvanizing design standards prior to delivery.
Proper venting and drainage are essential. Vent and drain holes must be correctly sized and positioned to allow air to escape and solutions to flow freely during cleaning and galvanizing. This prevents pressure buildup, ensures full immersion, and promotes a uniform finish on all surfaces, inside and out. For detailed requirements, customers should refer to ASTM A385, Standard Practice for Providing High-Quality Zinc Coatings (Hot-Dip), which outlines design considerations for successful galvanizing.

PROJECTS
Drury Lane Pedestrian Bridge
Burlington, Ontario
Galvanized Components
Structural steel frames forming the east and west pedestrian ramp walkways.
The new Drury Lane Pedestrian Bridge replaces the original 53-year-old structure with a modern, 60-tonne white steel Warren truss bridge. Officially opened on October 31, 2025, the bridge provides a safe and accessible connection between the Glenwood neighbourhood and Fairview Street over the Lakeshore West rail corridor. The structure was designed with increased clearance to support future rail electrification and includes fully accessible ramps for pedestrians and cyclists. Constructed by EllisDon for Metrolinx, the project was completed in approximately eight months, with minor landscaping and site restoration continuing after the opening.

DEDICATED TO OUR ENVIRONMENT:
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development involves balancing local and global efforts to meet basic human needs without destroying the natural environment. With hot-dip galvanizing, zinc coatings lengthen the life of steel structures by keeping steel performing in its optimal condition. This benefit alone enables a huge preservation of natural resources by reducing waste that occurs naturally. As a result, steel and zinc both serve as sustainable materials in today’s environmental conscious society.
