External Coating
Pipes are coated externally by pure metallic zinc (minimum 99.995 purity) at a rate of 130 gm/m, the requirement of ISO 8179 Zinc is then covered by not less than 70 microns of bituminous paint as per ISO 8179-1 to ensure mortar firm, dense, smooth and adhesive on request, other thickness can be applied.
