96% zinc in the dry filmDirect-to-metal galvanic protectionPakistan-wide delivery enquiries
Density ±0.05 kg/L
Read with the current GalvoKote TDS and project specification.
| Item | GalvoKote specification |
|---|---|
| Product type | Single-component zinc-rich coating |
| Dry-film zinc | 96% zinc by weight in the dry film |
| Density | 2.50 ±0.05 kg/L |
| Colour / finish | Zinc grey |
| Recommended DFT | 80 µm total, normally 40 µm × 2 coats |
| Theoretical consumption | 0.50 kg/m² at 80 µm DFT |
| Theoretical coverage | 2 m²/kg at 80 µm; approximately 5 m² per 2.5 kg pack before losses |
| Material planning | Allow for surface roughness, geometry and application losses; use the calculator below |
| Application conditions | 5-40°C; RH below 85%; substrate clean, dry and free from condensation |
| Touch dry | Around 30 minutes at defined reference conditions; not the recoat interval |
| Recoat interval | 1-2 hours when the first coat is dry and sound, subject to temperature, RH and film build |
| Full cure reference | 24 hours at reference conditions; field drying varies with conditions and film build |
| Application methods | Brush, roller, conventional spray and airless spray |
| Thinning | Never add petrol or kerosene. If necessary, use xylene only, to a maximum of 10% of the coating quantity |
| Topcoating | Direct alkyd-based topcoats are not recommended; confirm compatibility of acrylic and other organic resin-based systems |
| TDS pack sizes | 1.5, 2.5, 5 and 10 kg; confirm availability outside the 2.5 kg online item |
| Airless spray | Pressure >20 MPa; spray-tip orifice >0.017 in; #50–60 filter as appropriate to equipment |
| Steel preparation | ISO 8501-1 Sa 2½ for specified high-demand bare steel; maintenance routes must match actual duty |
| Galvanized repair | Remove contaminants, salts, corrosion products and unsound films; select St 2 or St 3 by condition |
| Salt-spray resistance | Up to 4,032 hours; laboratory exposure is not a direct prediction of service life |

Quantity planning
Coverage calculator
Theoretical GalvoKote consumption at 80 µm is 0.50 kg/m². The calculator treats the selected loss as a fraction of purchased material and divides theoretical mass by (1 - loss fraction).
Estimate material
Planning tool only. Final quantity should be checked against actual surface profile and application method.
