Below is a table with the physical properties of Zamak.
The main advantages of Zamak are:
• Savings in working time and better finishing. • Injection allows high-volume manufacturing parts with high accuracy. • Allows electroplating treatment on the surface as zinc and chrome or paint. • It requires high energy consumption in its production. • High mechanical strength and impact at room temperature.
