ASV Shiny Galva is a high-performance zinc covering that prevents rusting and rust creepage on metal surfaces while offering genuine galvanic corrosion defense. After application, it quickly dries in the air to leave a high-purity zinc foil that is extremely resistant to heat, water, rust, and salty conditions. It gives the best possible protection against rusting in a tough setting and forms an electrochemical bond with bare metals without the need for baking. There are no CFCs, ozone-depleting substances, or chlorinated solvents in ASV shining galva.

Galvanizing is the technique of coating a metal to stop corrosion with a more reactive metal. The word “galvanizing” has mostly evolved to refer to coatings made of zinc rather than other metals.  Iron is usually coated with zinc. The zinc covering corrodes instead of the iron, preventing it from rusting. Zinc does not corrode, even when it is scraped. When paint is scraped off, metal rusts. At some point, the iron begins to corrode after the zinc has completely rusted.

In this article, let’s explore how to use ASV Shiny Galva, its pros and cons, and its applications in detail.

Galvanizing Types

There are two types of galvanizing. Hot dip galvanizing involves dipping the item into a pool of liquid zinc. This results in a longer-lasting, thicker coating.

Larger, structural steel components are frequently treated with this technique because it offers superior corrosion defense.

On the other hand, electro-galvanizing bonds a thin coating of zinc to the metal surface using an electric current. This method works well for smaller, more complex items since it is more accurate and produces a smoother finish. It lasts shorter since it is thinner and shiny.

All things considered, both strategies successfully prevent metal from rusting, although their uses differ depending on the demands placed on the individual metal components.

Instructions For Use

1. Before applying, the surface should be cleaned and degreased.
2. Use a wire brush to remove any loose scales and rust.
3. Give the can a vigorous shake for a few minutes until you can hear a bearing noise coming from inside. Do the same thing before each application.
4. Apply thin, uniform layers to a fully dry surface by sweeping your fingers over it.
5. Before reapplying, let the solvents evaporate entirely.
6. The ideal film thickness is between two and three miles. It takes roughly ten to fifteen minutes for the material to dry completely, an hour for handling, and a day or two for the full cure.
7. Clean the dip tube of the valve to remove any paint residue or other product remnants. After spraying is complete, turn the can upside down and press the actuator button quickly until only the propellant is released. This will clean the valve.
8. Remove the actuator button if necessary, then use a thin, fine wire to clean the button opening to prevent clogging.

Exercise caution

The product contains flammable solvents and propellants. Avoid spraying near open flames, hot surfaces, or electrified equipment. Make sure you have enough airflow during use.

Pros

Resistance To Corrosion

Zinc is applied to metallic sheets, giving them exceptional corrosion resistance. Because of this, ASV Shiny Galva is perfect for outdoor uses, high-humidity settings, and exposure to corrosive substances.

Strength

The metal’s resilience is increased through the galvanization process, rendering shiny galva resistant to abrasion, scratches, and mechanical harm. It eventually requires less maintenance because it lasts longer than untreated metal.

Can Apply Manually

Zinc coatings through ASV shiny galva (up to 250 μm thick, or 1500 g/m2), can be applied manually or mechanically, and the operation can be done in a factory or the field. Grit blasting is required to prepare the surface of the metal.  As with a galvanized coating, the resulting zinc coating offers protective qualities against corrosion and barrier properties to the underlying metal.

Aesthetic Appeal

Its glossy finish enhances the appearance of structures and items, including buildings, furniture, and automotive components.

Cons

Original Expense

The initial cost of galvanized metal plates can vary more than that of untreated metal or other materials. However, the initial cost is frequently outweighed by the long-term benefits like strength and resistance to corrosion.

Effects On The Environment

Zinc is used in the galvanization process, and if it is not handled carefully, it can negatively affect the environment. The environmental impact of scrap galvanized metal should be as low as possible by properly recycling and disposing of it.

Few Color Selections

Although Bright Galva’s glossy finish is visually appealing, it can lack as many color options as comparable materials like coated metal or aluminum. This drawback can prevent it from being used in situations where a certain color scheme is required.

Applications

The glossy galva is used for offshore equipment, nuclear & power plants, transmission towers, bridges, relay towers, welding seams, pipes & ducts, antennas, metal fabrication, industrial maintenance, and the touch-up of corroded zinc coatings.

Final Words

ASV Shiny Galva gives a strong defense against rust and corrosion on metal surfaces. It is the best option for a variety of applications, such as guardrail and chain link fence restoration, because of its high-purity zinc coating, short drying time, and long-term protection.

Even though galvanizing offers the best protection, there are a number of things to take into account, including application techniques, environmental impact, and available color options. This glossy galva sticks out as a dependable choice for boosting the robustness and visual attractiveness of metal buildings in a variety of contexts, including industrial facilities and architectural projects.
