GALVATECH RUST ANODE PRIMER

GALVATECH RUST ANODE PRIMER

Cold-dip galvanizing technology comparable to hot-dip galvanizing.

Zinc-rich cold-GALVATECH RUST ANODE PRIMER

Cold-dip galvanizing technology comparable to hot-dip galvanizing.

Zinc-rich cold-dip galvanizing primer from GALVATECH 2000.

Unique electro-chemically bonded, organic zinc-rich industrial galvanizing technology with 88% zinc in the dry layer. Offers a service life comparable to hot-dip galvanizing or metallizing under the same exposure conditions.

True active and sacrificial protection like hot-dip galvanizing

Dries to moisture without dew-point restriction

Can be overcoated with most paints, even powder paints

APPLICATION:

For Bridges, ships, marine, electrical transmission and/or telecommunication towers, buildings, tanks, transport, tractor-trailers, factories.

CHARACARISTICS:

• Mono-component product
• 99.995% pure organic zinc
• Lower in VOCs 285 grams/litre
• Cathodic protection due to electrochemical bond with the metal
• Easy to apply with standard painting equipment, including electrostatic
• Can be applied on non-friable rust, free of dust
• Can be covered with most paint products
• Can be used in duplex over new and old HDG or metallization
• Rust-Anode^® Primer comes in only one colour: flat grey natural zinc RAL # 7005
• An equal dry film thickness of Rust-Anode^® Primer provides the same performance as hot dip galvanization or metallization.
• No structural distortion
• Flexibility
• Permanent adhesion
• No cathodic disbondment
• Follow thermal expansions
• Moisture cured, without dew point
• High resistance to saltwater and salty environments
• Can be applied to aluminum, stainless, corten, cast iron, (all metals), concrete and existing paint after minimal cleaning
• Resists to hydrocarbons such as hydraulic fluid, diesel, gasoline, urea, etc.
• Dries quickly (hygro-reactive) in moist environments
• Can be used at any time to retouch Rust-Anode^® Primer coated surfaces
• Can be applied at temperatures from –5°C and +37°C (23°F to +98°F)
• Meets ASTM B117 (Salt Spray Test), ASTM D522 (Mandrel Bend Test), CAN/CGSB 1-GP-71 Method 119.5 and CAN/CGSB 1.181 and Canadian Food Inspection Agency standards

BENEFITS:

• An outstanding elasticity and plasticity of the dry film that allow the expansion and bending of the metal substrate;
• A total and permanent metalizing bonding to the metal substrate;
• A good resistance to impact;
• A resistance to abrasion of high performance;
• A superior resistance to hydrocarbons and salt damages;
• Single pack formulation, easy to mix;
• lt allows the same corrosion protection as hot-dipped galvanizing and metalizing with equal dry film thickness’s
• Little change of colour in the time;
• Application from -5 C (+23°F) to + 37 C (+98°F);
• Resist to mist and to rain, 90 min. after application;
• Application without taking account of dew point;
• Minimal surface preparation;
• Resistance where pH is between 5.5 and 12.5;
• The Rust-Anode Primer can be used without a top coat;
• Easy application with any standard painting equipment spray gun or electrostatic.

DECONTAMINATION:

Chlor-Rid

• Remove chlorides, sulfates, nitrates and other soluble salt contaminants
• Leaves no film or residue after use
• Biodegradable, Water Soluble, Non-Toxic

Available in certain Sherwin-Williams stores.
