About Zinc Alloy
Zinc Alloy is used for selected bag hardware, garment accessories and custom components when its structure, finish, application and testing requirements fit the project.
Material overview
Zinc alloy is often reviewed for custom bag buckles, logo plates, decorative trims, rivets and other metal hardware that needs molded detail and finish flexibility.
Material definition
Zinc Alloy is a hardware material option for bag, garment and accessory components. Typical reasons to choose it: good mold detail for custom shapes; flexible finish direction for decorative hardware; balanced option for many branded accessory projects. Final suitability depends on part structure, finish target and your testing requirement.

Application notes
Zinc Alloy should be selected by product function, application environment, appearance target and sample review requirement.
Finish compatibility
Zinc Alloy finish compatibility should be confirmed by base material, surface target, logo method and buyer testing request.
Cost and weight considerations
Zinc Alloy affects cost, weight, strength direction, finish options and appearance. Final suitability should be reviewed by project details.
Quality and testing
Salt spray, pull-strength and other tests for Zinc Alloy hardware are arranged on request. Salt spray hours depend mainly on the finish rather than the base metal; typical neutral salt spray ranges for each finish we run are listed at https://www.eco-hardware.com/materials-finishes/finishes/. The result for a specific order is confirmed by test report.
Buying notes
When requesting Zinc Alloy hardware, include product type, drawing or reference, size, finish target, logo requirement, quantity and testing expectation.
Sustainability considerations
Sustainability claims for Zinc Alloy should only be published when supported by verified project documentation.
Additional material notes
