57031002 - Arcair Protex Zinc Rich Cold Galvanizing Spray (Case of 12)

Technical Overview of Arcair Protex Zinc Rich Compound

The Arcair Protex Zinc Rich compound (SKU: 57031002) is a high-performance cold galvanizing agent designed to provide sacrificial cathodic protection to ferrous metal surfaces. Formulated with a high concentration of metallic zinc dust, this product creates a durable barrier that electrochemically bonds with the base metal to prevent oxidation and corrosion. It is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance and fabrication environments where hot-dip galvanizing is not feasible or where repairs to existing galvanized coatings are required.

This product is supplied in a 13 oz aerosol can, facilitating easy application on irregular surfaces, welded seams, and field joints. The solvent-based carrier ensures rapid evaporation, allowing the zinc coating to dry quickly to a matte grey finish that closely resembles weathered hot-dip galvanizing. This makes it an excellent choice for cosmetic touch-ups as well as functional protection. The formulation is designed to inhibit rust creepage, ensuring that even if the coating is compromised or scratched, the surrounding zinc continues to protect the steel substrate.

The package includes 12 cans, making it a suitable stock item for MRO cribs, welding shops, and field service trucks. It is essential for compliance with maintenance standards that require the restoration of corrosion protection on steel structures after welding, cutting, or drilling operations. Users should ensure proper surface preparation, typically requiring the removal of oil, grease, and loose scale, to achieve maximum adhesion and performance.
