Cold Galvanising Paint 4L Brushable CT-CGB-4L

DESCRIPTION:

GalMax™ 90 Zinc-Rich Cold Galvanising Paint is a high-performance primer containing 90% pure zinc dust pigment blended with epoxy resin. The product complies with AS/NZS 4680:2006 - a standard that specifies the zinc contents and minimum coating thickness requirements for steel of various section thicknesses.
This non-conductive weld through zinc-rich coating protects clean steel in the same manner as hot dip galvanizing, i.e., by cathodic reaction. The self-sacrificing zinc protects the base metal and preserves its strength while preventing rust creepage when the area is penetrated or scratched. It gives exceptional long-term protection against rust and corrosion, and weathers to the same color as normal galvanizing.
GalMax™ 90 Cold Galvanising Paint conforms to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3750.9.2009 for Zinc Rich Coatings with its 90% zinc in dry film, zinc particles of 45 µm, and zinc purity of 99%. It also complies with AS2312 when applied following the standard.
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.

APPLICATION:

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.
Bulk: Before use, stir thoroughly for approximately 5 minutes using a flat stirrer with a circular, lifting motion. Stir often
during use. Apply two coats for optimum protection by brush, roller, or spray equipment.
