INTERZINC is a market development and technology transfer group, founded in 1986, that is dedicated to increasing awareness of zinc casting alloys among engineers, designers and specifiers. It aims to accomplish this mission through technology transfer, technical services and designer education programs.\u00a0Casting technology is not a process frozen in time. Ongoing advancements in zinc casting technology greatly benefit those who select materials for industrial and consumer products. INTERZINC\u2019s programs are structured to assist manufacturers in determining how zinc can be cost-effectively employed for a wide range of end uses. \u00a0\u00a0www.interzinc.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Galvanized Rebar<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Zelixir promotes the use of galvanized reinforcing steel.\u00a0Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used among all modern construction materials. It is inexpensive, readily available, has a range of attractive properties and characteristics and is suitable for a variety of building and construction applications. It is also used in a number of exposure conditions, which in some cases highlights one of the main weaknesses of reinforced concrete: the potential for unprotected steel reinforcement (rebar) to corrode, resulting in staining, cracking and failure of the surrounding concrete. Zelixir works to educate construction specifiers on the benefits of zinc coated rebar. \u00a0www.galvanizedrebar.com<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Galvinfo Centre<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Zelixir regularly lectures at the Galvinfo Centre Hot Dip Galvanizing Sheet Production course.\u00a0The GalvInfo Center was established in 1999 to serve current and potential users of steel sheet coated with zinc-containing coatings. \u00a0The course deals primarily with the operation of continuous galvanizing lines, including the metallurgical processes involved, and covers\u00a0coating line production processes, including seam welding, cleaning, annealing, coating weight control, galvannealing, post galvanizing surface treatments, and zinc bath management principles and technology. \u00a0www.galvinfo.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Zinc Association Zelixir Inc. is engaged under contract to be the official Canadian representative office of the International\u00a0Zinc Association (IZA).
