Description Zinc dust is used as a primary material for galvanizing steel through the process of zinc electroplating. In this process, the steel is submerged in a zinc bath and a voltage is applied, resulting in a layer of zinc coating the steel. This process increases the zinc content of the steel and prevents rust. It is also used as a food additive to prevent food from spoiling.
