Galvakot – Zinc Rich Cold Galvanizing Spray

Galvakot is a premium cold galvanizing spray designed for superior protection of steel and ferrous metals against harsh corrosive environments. This high solids, zinc-rich coating provides a bright, durable finish that rivals the protection offered by hot-dipped galvanizing.

Key Features:

  • Superior Protection: Galvakot’s epoxy-based formula boasts a high zinc content, creating a strong bond with metal substrates. This results in exceptional corrosion resistance, effectively protecting against rust and corrosion creepage.
  • Highly Active Zinc Particles: The pure zinc particles in Galvakot form a flexible galvanic self-healing film, offering continuous protection and maintaining its effectiveness even in severe conditions.
  • Durability: With resistance to salt corrosion and water, Galvakot ensures long-lasting protection. It does not sag and can be top-coated with conventional primers and finishes such as epoxy, urethanes, acrylics, and chlorinated rubber.
  • Temperature Tolerance: Galvakot withstands continuous use at temperatures up to 350–400°F and intermittent use up to 600°F.

ping of castings due to minor cosmetic defects. Piocol Fixup allows you to patch up and repair mechanically strong metal castings to a high finish. The patched surface withstands high temperatures up to 220°C, and Piocol Hightemp can withstand up to 545°C. It can be powder coated to a very fine finish without bubbles, cracks, or discoloration. It withstands powder coating oven temperatures and lasts forever.

Applications:

Galvakot is ideal for corrosion protection of a wide range of applications including:

  • Steel buildings
  • Roofs
  • Doors
  • Fences
  • Guard rails
  • Road signs
  • Gutters
  • Ridges
  • Farm equipment
  • Marine equipment
  • Highway maintenance
  • Industrial, marine, and automotive uses

Directions for Use:

  1. Shake the can for at least one minute before spraying. Ensure the can temperature is 65°F or warmer. (WARNING: Never use direct heat to warm aerosol cans! Only warm water should be used.)
  2. Apply Galvakot to a clean and dry surface. Remove loose rust and scale before application.
  3. Wait 5 minutes before applying a second coat for optimal coverage.
