Maximum permissible lead in hot dip galvanizing?

I WANT TO KNOW THAT UP TO WHAT EXTENT PURITY OF LEAD IS RECOMMENDED TO USE IN HOT DIP GALVANIZING. IS PURITY OF 98.14% IS ACCEPTABLE. I SHALL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR ANSWER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Sir:

It depends on what the impurities are and what are their percentages.
