In July 2024, HXH STEEL successfully completed the production and container loading of a batch of hot-dipped galvanized steel sheets bound for Egypt.
For the North African market, the real challenge isn't just manufacturing—it's protecting the cargo from "white rust" during the humid ocean transit. Here is how our logistics team handled the specifications and packaging for this order.
To block marine air and prevent oxidation between the tightly stacked sheets, we used a heavy-duty packaging system:
Inner Protection
Bundles wrapped in VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) anti-rust paper and waterproof film.
Outer Shell
Covered with rigid galvanized iron sheets and tied with high-tensile steel strapping to prevent edge damage during port handling.
Base Supports
Placed on reinforced skids to keep the steel elevated off the container floor.
Galvanized flat sheets are dense and heavy. To prevent shifting during rough sea voyages, our team used heavy lashing wires and wooden chocks to block and brace each pallet firmly inside the container, ensuring zero movement.
Egyptian buyers require strict control over zinc coating uniformity. This batch featured excellent zinc layer adhesion (ranging from Z120 to Z275 based on requirements). This premium adhesion ensures that when local clients bend, cut, or roll-form the sheets into roofing or sandwich panels, the zinc layer won't flake or peel, maintaining long-term corrosion resistance.
At HXH STEEL, we track every shipment to keep our supply standards sharp. This July 2024 delivery marks another successful step in our reliable steel supply to the region.
