Despite its inherent toughness and abrasion resistance, hot-dipped galvanized coatings can still get damaged or need repair after on-site alteration*. To provide further metal protection for steel parts that are altered or damaged after galvanization, Joseph Ash Galvanizing sells an own-brand galvanizing zinc repair spray called Galvsafe. Galvsafe can simply be sprayed onto fabrications from about 12 inches away, as long as the surface of those fabrications have been cleaned to remove wax, dirt, polish or grease etc.
Galvsafe was developed by Joseph Ash Galvanizing in response to many customers asking for an alternative spray to the branded products that are currently available on the market.
Galvsafe has the following important features:
High zinc content which contains 88% zinc in the dry film. (Zinc dust content conforms with BS EN ISO 3549)
Great colour match with most galvanized coatings
Good adhesion
Safe for over painting
Safe for use on products due to be powder coated after galvanizing as Galvsafe contains high temperature resins.
