Zinc adhering to Polypropylene

Zinc adhering to Polypropylene

Zinc adhering to Polypropylene

(OP)
Is it possible to adhere zinc to polypropylene? If so, what method would you use to adhere it? Or is there anyone that we could contact?

It needs to be produced in large volumes and able to withstand weather for 20 years or more.

Thank you for your help in advance.

RE: Zinc adhering to Polypropylene

It would have to be mechanically fastened.  I don't know of a process or adhesive (besides electroplating) that would stand up to that timeframe in outdoor conditions.
