How can you recognise a ‘znal’?

Visually, it resembles zinc, but is slightly lighter and harder thanks to the addition of aluminium. It is not magnetic. It is harder and more impact-resistant than pure zinc, which makes it easier to recognise.

We verify the exact composition of the alloy using XRF analysis, which enables us to classify the material correctly.

ZnAl purchasing – types and prices

We purchase all types of ZnAl, in any form and of any purity. ZnAl is a grey zinc-aluminium alloy in which zinc usually predominates, with the proportions varying depending on the application. It is significantly heavier than aluminium, yet lighter than steel, whilst having a similar appearance.

What types of ZnAl do we accept?

  • Post-production ZnAl – foundry waste: new castings, flash and mouldings, clean and free of steel inserts.
  • Post-depreciation ZnAl – items accepted: door handles, fittings, furniture hinges, curtain rails, cabinet bodies, bathroom fittings and garden lighting, and toys. They may be chrome-plated or painted, but any steel parts must be removed.

The purchase price of ZnAl

The price of ZnAl depends on its purity, as well as on the LME prices for zinc and aluminium, exchange rates, and market supply and demand. We price steel and plastic-free components higher than material containing these inserts.
