Weldmig Cold Galv Grey Aerosol 400ML Made in UK

WELDMIG Cold Galvanising Paint WELD THROUGH FORMULA WELDMIG is a weld through single component zinc-rich compound that offers the same advantages as hot-dip galvanising by forming a highly-protective coating with 95% highest purity zinc on bare steel or iron surfaces. It is ideal for repairing damaged galvanised surfaces or as a convenient and easy-to-apply alternative if hot-dip galvanising is not available. The zinc particles fuse directly to clean metal and form an electro-chemical bond that – due to sacrificial anodisation of zinc – stops rust and rust creepage, even when scratched, abraded or dented. Provides excellent cover and can be applied as a heavy film for extra protection without forming runs. Ongoing protection can be achieved through simple re-coating Protection in extreme conditions may require re-application. It can act as a finish coat on clean iron, steel and their welds. Features & Benefits Zinc-rich – 95% highest purity zinc in the dried film, fuses directly to iron or steel surfaces Weld through - Zinc It provides a unique coating that can be welded through Same advantages as hot-dip galvanising – Exceptional rust protection Excellent adhesive qualities – Forms a tough coat for long-term protection High Heat Resistance – Up to 500°C Sacrificial anodisation of Zinc – Stops rust and rust creepage even when scratched, abraded or dented Fast drying – Touch dry in 20 minutes, recoat at any stage, full cure in 24 hours Easy re-application over existing film and/or clean surfaces – For ongoing protection Finish coat – Can act as the finish coat, no need for primer Excellent primer – May be over-coated with most standard protective paint systems for metal Excellent weldability It has a higher level of Aluminium particles which is a conductive metal, it should be able to strike the Arc through the dry paint film, and the continuous Arc will burn away/vapourise the remaining paint immediately ahead of the weld. The usual safety reminder though applies that, as the burning paint is vapourised by the welding arc, extraction and positive ventilation welding masks are a pre-requisite because the fumes will be toxic.
