Galmet Coating Range — Quick Reference by Purpose
Galmet is an Australian manufacturer of high-performance metal protection coatings used in steel fabrication, maintenance engineering and industrial plant operations. The range maps to a corrosion protection workflow: surface prep → primer → topcoat. Selecting the right Galmet product means matching the substrate, environment and finish quality required.
| Purpose | Galmet Products | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Galvanising | Zinc-Rich Galvanising Compound, Galvabond, Cold Galv aerosol | Touch-up welded zinc-coated steel, repair galvanised surface damage, prevent rust on cut edges |
| Rust Conversion | Rust Converter, Rust Killer | Convert existing rust before priming — turn red iron oxide into stable phosphate layer |
| Surface Etching | Etch Primer (red, grey, beige) | Prepare aluminium, zinc, galvanised surfaces for topcoat adhesion |
| Primer Coats | Zinc Phosphate Primer, Oxide Primer | First coat on bare steel before topcoat — adhesion + corrosion barrier |
| Topcoat Enamels | Industrial Enamel, Tractor & Implement Enamel, Heat Resistant | Final colour coat — choose by environment (general / agricultural / high-temp) |
| Specialist Coatings | Premium Roofing Spray, Aluminium Spray Paint, Bitumen Paint | Specific application — roofing repair, brightwork, waterproofing |
Galmet products are formulated for Australian conditions — UV-stable, cyclic-temperature tolerant, and compatible with local steel grades and standards.

Galmet Metal Protection — Cold Galvanising, Rust Converters & Industrial Coatings
Galmet is an Australian manufacturer of high-performance metal protection coatings trusted in structural steel fabrication, maintenance engineering and industrial plant operations across the country. The Galmet product range is built around a core purpose: protecting steel from corrosion at every stage — from surface preparation through to final topcoat. Whether you're cold galvanising a weld repair, converting existing rust before priming, etching aluminium or zinc-coated surfaces, or applying a long-term industrial epoxy enamel topcoat, Galmet has a product engineered for the task. AIMS Industrial stocks the Galmet corrosion protection range for fast dispatch to fabrication workshops, maintenance teams, mining operations and industrial sites nationwide.
Galmet Cold Galvanising & Rust Protection Products
Galmet's cold galvanising range delivers zinc-rich cathodic protection on bare steel, welds and damaged galvanised coatings without the heat and specialist equipment of hot-dip galvanising. ColdGal is the flagship aerosol product for fast field touch-up of structural steel, welded joints and galvanised surfaces that have been drilled, cut or abraded. The Ironize Rust Converter takes a different approach — chemically converting existing rust to a stable, paintable surface rather than requiring mechanical removal.
- Galmet ColdGal Metal Protection Paint Aerosol 400g: Zinc-rich cold galvanising aerosol for on-site touch-up of welds, cuts and abrasions in galvanised steel; provides cathodic protection equivalent to hot-dip galvanising in a convenient spray can
- Cold Galvanizing Protection of Steel Zinc Rich — Galmet: Brush-applied zinc-rich cold galvanising compound for larger area coverage; suitable for structural steel maintenance, workshop application and areas where aerosol use is restricted
- Galmet Ironize Rust Converter & Sealer: Chemical rust converter that transforms active rust into a stable, paintable iron phosphate surface; eliminates mechanical rust removal on moderately rusted steel, ideal for maintenance repaints
- Galmet Duragal Silver Long Term Protection of Steel 350g: Long-term aluminium-rich protection coating for steel in atmospheric and industrial environments; provides a durable metallic finish with excellent weathering resistance
Galmet Etch Primers, Industrial Primers & Epoxy Enamel Coatings
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any lasting coating system, and Galmet's Keytite etch primer range provides the critical adhesion bond between bare or zinc-coated metal and topcoat systems. Industrial primers in grey and red oxide formulations provide additional corrosion resistance and build before the final coat. The metal protection epoxy enamel range delivers a hard, chemical-resistant topcoat suitable for plant equipment, structural steel and industrial machinery in both aerosol and bulk litre pack formats.
- Galmet Keytite Etch Primer 350g Aerosol: Aerosol etch primer that chemically bonds to galvanised, aluminium and other difficult-to-coat metal surfaces; essential preparation coat before applying topcoats over zinc-coated steel
- Galmet Industrial Primer — Grey Oxide Anti-Corrosive 4L: Grey oxide anti-corrosive primer for structural steel and plant equipment; provides excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance as a base coat before industrial enamel topcoats
- Galmet Industrial Primer — Red Oxide Anti-Corrosive 4L: Traditional red oxide primer offering proven corrosion protection and adhesion to bare steel; widely specified in Australian industrial painting standards
- Metal Protection Rust Paint Epoxy Enamel Aerosol — Galmet: Direct-to-metal epoxy enamel aerosol providing a hard, chemical-resistant finish on plant equipment, structural steel and machinery; combines primer and topcoat in a single application
