GalMax 90 Cold Galvanising Paint is a is a non-conductive WELD THROUGH zinc-rich coating containing 90% zinc in dry film which protect welds and clean steel in the same manner as hot dip galvanising, ie, by cathodic reaction. Its zinc loaded matt finish offers exceptional protection against rust and corrosion, and when top coated with GalMax SG Silver 3-in-1 Galvanising Paint, becomes indistinguishable to normal weathered galvanising.
Features and Benefits:
With a guaranteed 99% zinc purity, GalMax 90 is supplied to a wide range of industries from marine to construction, and is ideally suited to touch-up welds and damaged structures or components. It is commonly used on marine and offshore rigs, during metal fabrication, for hot-dip gal repairs, and to rust proof bridges, cooling towers, fencing, piping, and metal roofing.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from scale and rust. Old finishes must be thoroughly wire brushed and/or sanded and degreased. Do not paint over loose or unsound surfaces. Surface preparation is very important.
Aerosol: Invert the can and shake well for at least one minute. Shake often during use. Hold the can upright and angle the fan jet for a horizontal or vertical pattern. Apply in even sweeping strokes approximately 250mm to 300mm from the surface.
Apply several light coats a few minutes apart rather than one heavy coat. After spraying, invert the can and press the nozzle to clear the jet. If blocked, use fuse wire and mineral turps to clean the nozzle.
Do not paint at temperatures below 15oC or above 40oC. Avoid high humidity.
