Applications

The choice of surface preparation and cleaning before application is as important, if not more important, than the coating itself.
Mix well: ideally with a mixer free of any greasy substances or other contaminants for 5 minutes * do not shake the product *
It’s essential that the surface is free of oil, dust, grease, or other contaminants.
Recommendations: Metaflux’s Zinc Paste can be painted; however, an adhesion test on a small part of the piece is recommended due to the multitude of paint brands available.

Can be applied on the previously cleaned old galvanization layer.
Sandblasting, if necessary, for structural components to remove rust and/or scale.
