1. It’s not a paint
The only resemblance with a paint is its application:
by brush, roll or pistol.
Composition is different from traditional anti rust
paintings: contains ≥ 92 % pure zinc in the dry layer.
Protection technique is differently from traditional
anti rust paintings: “active” electrochemical (cathodic)
protection.
No additives needed and no potlife.
2. “Cold” galvanisation
Because it’s applied at ambient temperature, it’s
called “cold” galvanisation.
The cathodic protection is at least as good as: “hotdip”
galvanisation (hot–dip), metallisation and electrolytic
galvanisation.
3. Triple protection
Cathodic protection: the electrochemical corrosion
of a base metal (e.g. iron, steel) is stopped by covering
it with a more basic metal (e.g. zinc). Even if the protection
layer is damaged, zinc will provide, in a wet
environment, the required protection up to a certain
STACGALVA is the "active" steel coating par excellence, based on ultra fine pure zinc powder. The dry layer contains 92 % zinc, which guarantees a perfect cathodic protection. This “cold” galvanisation has at least the same durability as “hot-dip” galvanisation. The 1-c (1-component) system needs no additives, has no potlife and is ready for application by brush, roll, spray or dip.
