Linimatic casts zinc sinkers for trawl, seine and other industrial fishing equipment — an environmentally friendly alternative to lead sinkers, which have been banned from import and sale in Denmark since 2002. The range spans 50 to 2,000 grams in ring and barrel shapes, with hole diameters matched to the customer’s gear.
Lead has been banned as a sinker material in Denmark since 2002. Zinc matches lead’s weight while being non-toxic.
Unlike lead, zinc poses no poisoning risk to seabirds or marine life if a sinker is lost or worn down in the water.
Lead sinkers have been banned from import and sale in Denmark since 2002. Zinc is the direct, approved alternative with comparable weight.
Sinkers are cast at Linimatic’s own foundry in Helsinge and can be tailored in weight and hole diameter to match the customer’s gear and production volume.
