Galmet ColdGal zinc-rich cold galvanizing paint, 250 ml
Available
The Cold Galvanising Protection of Steel Zinc Rich is a cold galvanising paint. Galmet ColdGal is a single pack, zinc-rich coating with 92% metallic zinc in the dry film for long term protection of steel from rust. It works by cathodic (galvanic) action between the steel and the zinc, and zinc oxides and carbonates form in a scratch and reseal it.
It comes in 250ml, 500ml, 1L and 4L tins and can be applied by brush, roller or spray. It has touch dry in 20 minutes, recoating after 8 hours, hard dry in 24 hours and coverage of 6m2 per litre at 75 micron dry film thickness. Galmet is made in Australia by ITW Polymers & Fluids at Wetherill Park, NSW.
