GALVAGRID® ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION WITH SOLVENT

GALVAGRID® Rust-Anode Primer:

The issue: the limitations of hot-dip galvanising

Hot-dip galvanising protects steel against corrosion and can last for several decades in moderate environments. However, in more aggressive environments (heavily polluted industrial areas, coastal areas with high salt content or high humidity), the zinc coating wears away more quickly.

Over time, even galvanised structures can become vulnerable to rust, requiring repairs or additional reinforcement to maintain their durability.

GALVAGRID® Rust-Anode Primer revolutionises corrosion protection through a unique combination of technologies:

Advanced galvanic coating: Provides an additional layer of zinc, thicker than that of conventional hot-dip galvanising, significantly increasing the durability of structures.

On-site re-coating: Allows already oxidised metal structures to be restored directly on site or in the factory, without the need for dismantling or replacement. This solution extends their service life by 20 to 40 years.

Key benefits

Adaptability: Suitable for a variety of environments, including the most corrosive (C5, C5H, CX). Areas of application: bridges, maritime structures, electricity and telecommunications transmission towers, buildings, tanks, transport, articulated lorries, factories…

Cost-effectiveness: Avoids the costly replacement of existing structures.

Simplicity: Quick and flexible application, either in the factory or directly on site.

GALVAGRID® Rust-Anode Primer is the ideal solution for tackling the growing challenges of corrosion in demanding industrial environments.

GALVASOLV:

Galvasolv is a thinner specifically designed for the GALVAGRID RUST-ANODE® PRIMER anti-corrosion solution. It allows the viscosity of Rust-Anode® Primer to be adjusted to facilitate application, whether by brush, roller or spray. Thanks to its exclusive formulation, Galvasolv ensures maximum compatibility with zinc-rich coatings and preserves the product’s anti-corrosion effectiveness.

Galvasolv is available for sale only with the GALVAGRID RUST-ANODE® PRIMER anti-corrosion solution, either on its own or as part of a kit.

Container volume: 1L

Using Galvasolv produces a uniform, high-performance film, optimising the protection of metal surfaces against corrosion.

Key features:

·         Product type: Specialised industrial thinner

·         Compatibility: Rust-Anode Primer

·         Recommended dilution ratio: 4% to 10% depending on the application method

·         Applications: Viscosity adjustment for brush, roller or spray application

·         Area of use: Industrial / professional

Benefits:

·         Optimises the application of Rust-Anode Primer

·         Ensures the anti-corrosion performance of zinc-rich coatings

·         Formulated and tested to guarantee full compatibility with Rust-Anode® Primer products

·         Reduces the risk of damage to the protective film

To ensure the performance of Rust-Anode® Primer, it is crucial to use only Galvasolv as a thinner. The use of other solvents may impair the quality of the protective film and compromise the anti-corrosion resistance of Rust-Anode® Primer. “This thinner must be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and out of the reach of children ”.

Galvasolv is the ideal solution for professionals who wish to apply Rust-Anode® Primer products effectively whilst ensuring long-lasting and reliable corrosion protection. Whether for industrial maintenance, metal construction or the treatment of corrosion-sensitive surfaces, this thinner is designed to maximise the coating’s performance and simplify its application.
