What Is The Turity Of Zinc Wheel Weights

Zinc wheel weights are usually not made of pure zinc, but of zinc alloys, which are usually between 80% and 90% pure, depending on the manufacturer and the specific alloy composition; this means that the remaining percentage will be other metals added to enhance the performance of the weight, such as strength or formability.

In some ordinary vehicle wheel weights that do not require extremely high weight accuracy, the zinc alloy purity may be around 95% to meet the basic requirements. These zinc wheel weights mainly play the role of balancing wheels and reducing vehicle vibration.

In some high-end cars or racing cars with strict weight control, zinc wheel weights with higher purity may be used. This is because higher-purity zinc alloys are more stable in physical properties such as density, which can be used for more precise wheel weighting to ensure the best performance and safety of the vehicle.

Different countries and industries also have relevant standards for the purity of zinc wheel weights. For example, some automotive industry standards stipulate that the purity of zinc alloy materials used for wheel weights should be no less than 95%, and there are strict limits on the content of harmful elements (such as lead, etc.) therein to prevent pollution to the environment and harm to human health.
