BRIGHT GALA
Bright finish galvanising compound
BRIGHT GALVA aerosol is a zinc-rich primer/paint designed to protect surfaces from corrosion. Bright Galva contains a mixture of aluminium and zinc to provide a bright finish to match brightly galvanised finishes. Bright Galva will age naturally with galvanised steelwork blending in invisibly, while retaining its protective qualities. Bright Galva works by providing a sacrificial zinc rich film which by electrolytic action prevents corrosion of underlying steelwork.
ADVANTAGES
- Provides long term sacrificial corrosion protection to metal surfaces
- High solids concentration for greater protection and coverage
- Sprayed surfaces can be painted once dry
- Provides a bright finish
- Can be used as a spot repairer for galvanised surfaces, following, cutting and welding Film remains effective up to 160 ºC
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Bright Galva may be used on any metal fabrication; particularly any involving exposed steel
- Provides protection to galvanised surfaces where galvanised sections have been welded together or where cutting, drilling or machining operations have exposed bare steel edges
- This versatile coating may also be used as a primer or base coat to provide long-term corrosion protection to any exposed ferrous metal surfaces
- Provides temporary anti-corrosion protection to ferrous metal exposed to the air as a result of accidental damage
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not spray onto hot surfaces or in the vicinity of naked flames or sources of ignition. Shake can well until balls rattle. Ensure surface to be treated is free of any loose or flaking paint, rust, grease or debris. Spray on to the surface in light even strokes. Allow to dry. Re apply a second coat where required to ensure even coverage. After spraying invert the can & spray to clear the nozzle and prevent blockage.
