What are the main differences between colored zinc screws and white zinc screws?

1. Appearance and color

Colored zinc screws: The surface is coated with a layer of colored zinc, presenting a distinct color, making the screws visually more eye-catching and beautiful.

White zinc screws: The surface is coated with a layer of white zinc, presenting a silver-white or bright white color, giving a clean and bright feeling.

2. Corrosion resistance

Colored zinc screws: Although the thickness of the colored zinc coating is thinner, it can still provide certain corrosion protection in general indoor environments. However, in humid or corrosive environments, its corrosion resistance may be insufficient.

White zinc screws: The coating of white zinc screws is relatively thicker, so it has better corrosion resistance. It can provide effective corrosion protection in various environments and extend the lifespan of the screws.

3. Application scenarios

Colored zinc screws: Due to their bright color and certain corrosion resistance, colored zinc screws are often used in decoration fields such as furniture, doors and windows, and cabinets. In these cases, colored zinc screws not only provide necessary fixation functions but also add a touch of brightness and texture to the products.

White zinc screws: White zinc screws have excellent corrosion resistance and are widely used in various fields. For example, in home decoration and furniture manufacturing, white zinc screws are used for fixing and connecting various components; in the automotive and mechanical manufacturing fields, white zinc screws are widely used due to their high strength and excellent corrosion resistance; in addition, in construction projects, white zinc screws are also often used for fixing and connecting building materials.

4. Price and cost

Colored zinc screws: Due to the more complex production process of colored zinc coating and the need for special color-matching technology, colored zinc screws usually have a slightly higher price than white zinc screws.

White zinc screws: The production process of white zinc screws is relatively simple, and the cost of the coating material is lower, so their price is relatively more affordable.
