By-Products

Zinc is essential to a modern society. Zinc provides the most cost-effective and environmentally efficient method
of protecting steel against corrosion. By prolonging the life of steel, zinc performs an invaluable service - it helps
to save natural resources such as iron ore and energy and extends the life of steel goods and capital investments
in steel, such as homes, bridges, port facilities, power lines and water distribution, telecommunications and
transport. Sun Metals produces a Special High Grade (SHG) of zinc metals to meet stringent quality standards
under the regulation of London Metal Exchange and wide ranges of zinc alloys to meet all the requirements of
consumers. Zinc's main uses are :
Anti-corrosion coatings on steel (Galvanizing)
Automobiles
Precision components (Die Castings)
Zinc Oxide
Construction material
Brass
Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics
Micronutrient for men, animals and plants. Zinc is also an essential element which is indispensable for
human health and for all living organisms.

Sun Metals takes pride in its "One Stop Service" philosophy, where one person handles all aspects of the sale
from the plant to the customer's door. And Sun Metals has an advantage of geographical location to minimise the
transition time.

Sun Metals produces SHG zinc metal and a wide range of zinc alloy metal to meet all requirements of customers.

With zinc alloy products, the specifications, forms and dimensions of zinc alloy is different due to different

Quality Control

The laboratory conducts quality assurance checks, which cover the entire zinc refining process from incoming
zinc concentrate right through to the final outgoing zinc product. In addition, we have an overall quality assurance
program that includes:
Documented preventative maintenance of instruments
Periodic calibration of balances
Periodic analysis of standard reference material
Periodic participation in proficiency testing programs
Periodic analysis of replicates and spikes

The purpose of this program is to provide quality assurance to our customers. This is achieved by helping all our
process departments to maintain effective quality control systems, identify and correct problems before they
occur, and if possible to determine in advance potential problem areas and institute measures for their resolution.

Our analysts focus on generating the appropriate data required to ensure our process flows correctly and our
customers can be assured of 'getting what they paid for'.

Since commencement of production at Sun Metals the Technical Department has assisted in the attainment of
London Metal Exchange (LME) registration for Special High Grade Zinc Ingot.

Sun Metals is AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System certified.
