What is zinc ingot
Refined zinc, cast to be remelted.
Zinc ingot is refined zinc metal cast into slabs for remelting. It feeds hot-dip galvanizing kettles, brass and bronze melts and zinc die-casting alloy production. Buyers specify it by grade: a zinc minimum, plus a maximum for lead, cadmium, iron, tin, copper and aluminum. Atso Tek is an Istanbul-based trade company and bulk zinc ingot supplier, quoting against the standard your process names for buyers in Turkey and for export.

Pick the grade your melt specification names.
Zinc ingot is sold by purity grade, and the same grade carries a different name in each standard. Quote the zinc minimum and the standard together. Availability of each grade is confirmed on the offer.
GRADE 01 / SHG 99.995/01
Special High Grade (99.995%)
Zn ≥ 99.995%LME-deliverable chemistry
The grade the LME zinc contract trades: 99.995% zinc minimum, with lead and cadmium at 0.003% maximum and iron at 0.002%. ASTM B6 lists this chemistry as LME Grade, EN 1179 as Z1 and ISO 752 as ZN-1. The default for galvanizing baths, die-casting alloy production and any melt where impurities are tightly controlled.
Typical applications
- AHot-dip and continuous galvanizing
- BZinc die-casting alloy production
- CZinc oxide and zinc chemicals
- DLow-lead brass
GRADE 02 / 99.99/02
Zinc 99.99%
Zn ≥ 99.99%
One step below the 99.995% grade, with total impurities up to 0.010%. ASTM B6 uses the name Special High Grade for this chemistry and EN 1179 calls it Z2, which is why the letters SHG alone are not enough on an order. Used where the specification asks for 99.99% rather than 99.995%.
Typical applications
- AGeneral and continuous galvanizing
- BAlloy production
- CZinc oxide
GRADE 03 / HG 99.95/03
High Grade (99.95%)
Zn ≥ 99.95%
99.95% zinc, with lead allowed up to 0.03% and iron up to 0.02%. ASTM B6 High Grade, EN 1179 Z3. Chosen for brass production, general alloying and galvanizing work that does not call for SHG chemistry.
Typical applications
- ABrass and bronze production
- BGeneral galvanizing
- CAlloying additions
Chemical composition
Zinc minimum and impurity maximums, grade by grade.
Limits per ASTM B6, in mass percent. Zinc is a minimum; every other element is a maximum. The certificate of analysis for each lot is checked against the grade you order.

Note: Source: ASTM B6, Standard Specification for Zinc. EN 1179 and ISO 752 define equivalent grades with small differences, for example EN 1179 Z2 allows lead up to 0.005% and Z3 limits cadmium to 0.005%. These are standard limits, not a lot analysis; the certificate of analysis for your lot is issued with the shipment.
Where zinc ingot is used
Galvanizing, brass and die-casting alloys.
Zinc ingot is a remelt product. The grade is chosen by how much lead, cadmium and iron the downstream process tolerates.
/02SHG 99.995
Strip / wire
Continuous galvanizing lines
Strip and wire lines run on high-purity zinc so the bath chemistry and its aluminum addition stay under control.
/03HG 99.95 · SHG
Foundry / mill
Brass and bronze
Zinc is alloyed with copper to make brass. High Grade or SHG is chosen by how much lead and iron the alloy tolerates.
/04SHG 99.995
Alloy production
Die-casting alloys
Zinc die-casting alloys start from high-purity zinc, because trace lead, cadmium and tin cause intergranular corrosion in the casting.
Compliance and documentation
Documents your QC team and customs broker need.
Every zinc ingot shipment ships with the paperwork you need to clear customs and pass incoming inspection.

Buyer questions
What zinc ingot buyers ask before the first shipment.
In market use, SHG means 99.995% zinc minimum, the grade deliverable on the LME. ASTM B6 calls that chemistry LME Grade and uses the name Special High Grade for 99.990%; EN 1179 calls them Z1 and Z2. To avoid a mismatch, write the zinc minimum and the standard on the order, not just the letters SHG.
