20 key points about GALVANOL zinc-rich paint

A quick summary, with technical data sheet information, of what makes GALVANOL different: the zinc-rich paint for cold galvanizing.

1. 96% zinc in the dry film: One of the highest contents on the market; it is the zinc that protects, not the paint.
2. 99% pure zinc: Zinc dust compliant with ISO 3549.
3. Cathodic protection: The zinc sacrifices itself before the steel, even if the layer is scratched.
4. Complies with ISO 1461: Suitable for repairing hot-dip galvanizing. See GALVANOL and ISO 1461.
5. Complies with ASTM A780: The reference standard for repairing galvanizing. See GALVANOL and ASTM A780.
6. Tested according to ISO 12944: In an ENAC-accredited laboratory, for categories C2 to C5.
7. Up to C5 for more than 25 years: With ≥130 µm dry film. See categories C1 to C5.
8. One-component: Open and apply, no mixing required.
9. Fast drying: Touch-dry in about 20 min at +20 °C, fully dry in 4 h, and fully cured in 72 h.
10. Cold application: Can and bucket: from −30 °C to +60 °C and up to 90% RH.
11. Known yield: About 250 g/m² per coat for 40 µm. Use the calculator.
12. 2–3 coats recommended: Up to a maximum dry film thickness of 200 µm.
13. Brush, roller, spray gun, or spray can: See application methods.
14. Spray format: GALVANOL Spray 500 ml for quick touch-ups and small parts.
15. Can be painted over: With solvent-based paints (ALINOL, enamels, epoxy, polyurethane) after 4–6 h. See how to paint over.
16. Compatible with powder coating: After 72 h of curing, in an oven at up to 200 °C.
17. Conductivity 0.0 Ω: The layer is electrically conductive. See electroconductivity.
18. Dilutable only with xylene: Up to 15%, with xylene solvent.
19. Made in Spain: By GALVANOL IBERIA SL, with shipping in 24/72 h.
20. Formats for every job: 1 kg, 2 kg, 10 kg, and the application kit.
