Galvanization

  • Anti-corrosion hot-dip coating applied by dipping, formed by a metallurgical reaction between zinc and steel (Fe and Zn alloy), protecting hot-dip galvanizing against under-corrosion.

Wide range of uses for the components to a maximum length of 15 metres.

METALKOV Vlašim applies the latest technology which is represented by duplex systems, significantly extending the life of the metallic structures and components.

 

Protective system Expected period of service life [year] Coating thicknes [μm]
Thermally sprayed zinc 20–30 100–125
Zinc-rich primer / Epoxy coating / Polyurethane coating 20–30 220
Hot-dip galvanisation 30–40 80–100
Thermally sprayed zinc / Epoxy sealing / Epoxy coating / Polyurethane coating 50–60 260
Hot-dip galvanisation / Epoxy coating / Polyurethane coating 60–70 260
