Cold Dip Galvanizing

Our Service

Cold Dip Galvanizing

Cold galvanizing, also known as zinc-rich painting, involves applying a zinc-based paint to steel surfaces to protect against corrosion. Unlike hot-dip galvanizing, which immerses steel in molten zinc, cold galvanizing is performed at ambient temperatures using methods like brushing, rolling, or spraying. This technique offers a uniform, adherent coating that enhances the metal's resistance to rust and wear. While Technocoat Services specializes in advanced Al-Zn flake and PTFE coatings, they do not explicitly list cold galvanizing among their services. For cold galvanizing solutions in Pune, companies like WeatherFighter provide such services, offering protection for metal structures against corrosion.

  • Corrosion Protection – The high zinc content in cold galvanizing compounds provides a sacrificial layer, protecting the underlying metal from rust and corrosion.
  • Ease of Application – Unlike hot-dip galvanizing, cold galvanizing can be applied on-site using brushes, rollers, or spray guns, making it convenient for touch-ups and maintenance.
  • Self-Healing Properties – The zinc-rich coating can self-heal minor scratches, maintaining its protective capabilities over time.
