In the field of galvanized plate supply, maintaining product cleanliness and integrity is not only related to corporate image, but also directly affects product performance and service life. Therefore, galvanized plate suppliers must attach great importance to the cleaning and maintenance of galvanized plates in their daily operations. This article will delve into how galvanized plate suppliers should carry out daily cleaning and maintenance to ensure that the supplied galvanized plates are always in the best condition.

1. Regular cleaning

Frequency: Determine the cleaning cycle based on the usage environment and frequency, and it is generally recommended to clean regularly (such as monthly or quarterly).
Method: Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in neutral detergent to gently wipe the surface of the galvanized plate to remove dust, dirt, and other impurities. Avoid using corrosive substances such as strong acids, strong alkalis, or organic solvents to prevent damage to the zinc layer on the surface of galvanized plates.

Rinse and dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure there are no residual cleaning agents, then wipe dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water stains and rust.

2. Prevent scratches

Caution: When handling, installing, and using galvanized plates, avoid using sharp or hard tools to avoid scratching the surface of the galvanized plate. At the same time, pay attention to avoiding heavy object impact or friction, and maintain the flatness and smoothness of the galvanized plate surface.

3. Prevent moisture

Storage environment: When storing galvanized plates, a dry and well ventilated environment should be selected to avoid prolonged moisture damage that may cause the zinc layer to lose its protective effect.

Moisture proof measures: If galvanized plate needs to be stored outdoors, it should be covered with rainproof cloth or other moisture-proof materials to reduce the erosion of rainwater or moisture.

4. Avoid chemical corrosion

Chemical substances: Avoid contact with corrosive chemicals such as acid, alkali, salt, etc. on galvanized steel plates, as these substances may damage the zinc layer and cause oxidation corrosion on the surface of the steel plate.

Protective measures: When conducting chemical operations near galvanized plates, necessary protective measures should be taken, such as using protective pads, shields, etc., to prevent chemical substances from splashing onto the surface of galvanized plates.

5. Regular inspection

Inspection content: Regularly check whether the zinc layer on the surface of the galvanized plate is complete, whether there are scratches, pits, rust and other phenomena. Pay special attention to welding, cutting and other processing parts, which are prone to damage to the zinc layer due to improper handling.
Solution: If any problems are found, they should be repaired and replaced in a timely manner. For minor scratches or dents, suitable repair materials can be used for repair; For severe corrosion or zinc layer detachment, a new galvanized plate should be replaced.
In summary, daily cleaning and maintenance of galvanized plates require attention to regular cleaning, preventing scratches, preventing moisture, avoiding chemical corrosion, and regular inspections. By taking these measures, the good performance of galvanized plate can be maintained and its service life can be extended.
