Galvanizing Coating - How to Apply Galvanizing Paint on Metal?

by Protexion Services Protective Coating and Solution Provider

Galvanizing coating is the method of applying to steel or iron a protective zinc coating to prevent rusting. This paint is used mainly for galvanized metal. If painting is hard, then galvanized metal painting is even harder. This is because the oil coating protects this surface so as to avoid rust. Protexion is an India’s leading supplier of galvanizing coating and paint designed for use on all types of metal, to provide protection against corrosion, and various other problems.

Galvanic protection works by covering the steel surface with a metal that will preferentially corrode instead of the steel when the surface comes in contact with an electrolyte, usually water. Metal is extremely prone to rusting if the correct precautions are not taken therefore we like to make sure that you have only the very best galvanizing paint available to protect your metal surfaces and structures from the damage that can be caused by rust. A galvanizing coating reduces the maintenance cost; the years of protection for structural and equipment surfaces eliminates the need for constant scraping, wire brushing and repainting

Steps To Apply Galvanizing Paint on Metal

As we described below, galvanized surfaces must be handled carefully before applying the paint. Otherwise, adhesion will cause you too many problems later

1. Wash the metal surface: Firstly, use hot and soapy water to wash the surface. Then wait for it to dry completely. After that, use a mixture of water and 2% ammonia to clean the surface again. This process could take you a few hours, yet it is necessary for the next steps. Make sure to check if the galvanized metal comes with chromates or other passivating pre-treatments as these could affect the adhesion of the paint.

2. Sanding: Sand the entire surface to make sure it is cleaned from dust. Then wipe it out using tack cloths. Next, the adhesion could be reduced if the galvanized surfaces are too shiny and smooth. A lot of people skip this one causing serious damages. We recommend you to make it dulled and roughened by using some chemical etching solution.

3. Apply the primer: These primers will bond the paint into the galvanized surface. You will clearly understand the instructions on the product packaging before using it. It provides you with the instructions on how to use it and how long it takes to dry the primer. Galvanized spray paint is the best choice. Spray the below items one part at a time from top. If you see any drips, immediately delete them. Depending on your intent, you can add two to three primers. Remember to let it dry before applying a new coat.

4. Applying the paint: If you have done the above steps as we instructed, this step is so much easier. You should also use the same technique as applying the primer. You would also want to add the paint from the same brand as the primers to improve compatibility. Although this is the last step, don’t be rushed. Paint it gradually to finish the job perfectly. Refer to the products we recommend above to find the suitable one for you.
