Easy Onsite Touch-up. Unlike powder coating, Galvacoat® is extremely easy to touch up on-site.
Versatile. Galvacoat® can be applied directly to freshly galvanised steel or as a fresh coat to galvanised steel that’s been coated with conventional paints.
A Multitude Of Applications. Use Galvacoat® on applications as diverse as balconies and gates, power and sub-station equipment, railings, street furniture, structural steel and water treatment plants.

Galvacoat®

Galvacoat® is a specially formulated single application paint that adheres to non-ferrous metals such as zinc, and provides a long-lasting and cost-effective alternative to conventional metal paints.

Specially designed for Hot Dip Galvanised Steel, it is suitable for all spray systems or brush applications.

While most standard paints are intended for use on ferrous metals, Galvacoat® has been designed exclusively for use on non-ferrous metals, and can be applied in a single coating – without the need for special etch primers.

It adheres firmly to the galvanized surface and does not allow any salts to form, thus maximising the adhesion and delivering a quality coating that can be typically expected to last for up to 15 years.
