ZINC GALVA

Matt finish zinc galvanising compound

ZINC GALVA aerosol is a zinc-rich primer/paint designed to protect surfaces from corrosion. Zinc Galva works by providing a sacrificial zinc rich film which by electrolytic action prevents corrosion of underlying steelwork. Suitable for use as a primer coating Zinc Galva may be over painted where required. Galva is particularly effective in the protection of galvanised surfaces and steelwork following cutting and welding.

ADVANTAGES

  • Provides long term sacrificial corrosion protection to metal surfaces
  • Leaves a smooth tough grey coating on metals
  • Repairs damage to galvanised surfaces following welding and cutting
  • Abrasion, crack and chip resistant, ideal for use as a primer prior to repainting
  • 88.9% zinc content as dry film for longer protection

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Zinc Galva Aerosol 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.
