MilesFox Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 so i ended up with 2 12oz cans of the stuff. i tried some out on a rusty strut top and on some rust spots(that have been brushed and treated with a hydrochloric compound) on the RX. looks like fun stuff, i wish i had this stuff before i enamel painted my rear suspension. product claims it can be used on aluminum as well. "its elehtrochemical action provides protection that withstands 2000 hours of salt spray testing" contains 95% pure zinc metal http://www.zrcworldwide.com/pdfs/GALVILITE_9_07.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We used that when I worked at an Iron Work shop. If we had to weld galvanized material, we'd clean the weld then spray it with that. It holds up for YEARS. Check out cyclone fence gates, you'll see where they use it on the welds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Interesting reading. Sounds like some good stuff, I'll have to try some myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Used to sell it (not sure on brand though) at the welding supply I worked at back in Detroit. Always heard good stuff about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilgore Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi all. Bits and Bites on zinc coatings as I have experienced: Zinc-rich primer products work using the same theory behind marine anodic corrosion prevention (ie. the 'zincs' on a saltwater outboard motor). The zinc is sacrificial. In hot and humid applications, surfaces between aluminum and galvanized components should be painted to avoid accelerated oxidation. If you want a skookum cold galvanizing product, check out zinc rich epoxy products (Zinga, Devoe Cathacote, or Cloverdale Clovazinc). The higher the % solids, the better. You will also see better results with spray applied cold galv. if the steel is super clean and a rust converter is applied first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Check out cyclone fence gates, you'll see where they use it on the welds. Mandatory -standard procedure - when using on galvi - fencing ,etc. These sprays look great in certain applications and sure do protect and last when you spray it on clean metal. My restoration of my winch has that galvi. spray on the pulley and mounting. Looks better than when it was new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i use it on all my exhaust welds, it helps alot, they always rust out at the welds. now they just rust from the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
