Posted by admin in : Marine Paints, Painting Tips, Recommendations , trackback
Now this is a great product for those heavy duty rust and corrosion control. The Crown 7007 Cold Galvanizing Compound contains 30% - 60% of zinc by weight. What this nearly pure zinc coating does is that it forms a protective "sacrificial" layer over the metal. Should this zinc coating be scratched or broken, and corrosion begins to occur, the corrosion will be limited to the zinc coating, thereby continually protecting the metal. This process is almost like hot-dipped galvanization, thus its name ‘Cold Galvanizing Compound’. It is recommended for use on most unpainted metal surfaces, welded joints, guard rails, metal chain fences, TV towers, pipes, refinery piping, heavy equipment etc. It is ideal for industrial applications in the aviation, marine, petroleum and manufacturing fields. The zinc coat is grey in colour (like most zinc coatings) and is touch dry in 5 minutes. Usually a single coat would suffice. To maximise protection, a second coat may be applied within 1 hour of the 1st coat, or, after 48 hours. Please refer to the Price Reference Page for the latest price for this product.
