RUST PREVENTATIVES

GALMET COLD GALVANIZING

An organic zinc-rich coating that provides long term protection to steel against rust and corrosion. This is due to the cathodic (galvanic) action between the steel and the metallic zinc in the coating. This action prevents rust from developing under Cold Galvanising.

 

APPLICATIONS

  • Welds and damaged galvanising
  • Steel structures
  • Tank exteriors
  • Wrought iron
  • Ducting
  • Trailers

 

FEATURES

  • Single pack – easy to use
