Zinc is referred to as 'the great protector', not only for its role in sun protection but also because it protects iron and steel from corrosion. Used in sunscreens, cosmetics, plastics, rubber, ointments, soaps, paints, ink and fertilisers, Zinc is also an important component in batteries. Zinc’s low impurity levels and longevity are key attributes necessary for modern grid-scale battery storage to support our energy system. South Australia hosts one of the world's largest multi-metal smelters at Port Pirie, producing Zinc for over 130 years. Nyrstar
Wow, 130 years of production is incredible.
