ULTRA GALVA (UG)

This a high-performant metallic coating which offers an optimum surface protection in a wide variety of agressive and demanding environments, indoor as well as outdoor. The unique alloy of small amounts of magnesium and/or aluminium in the zinc bath provides ULTRA protection with a self-healing effect. Whilst zinc is essential for cathodic protection, magnesium prevents red rust. The passivation layer that comes on top, creates a seal that slows down the first traces of white rust.
ULTRA GALVA offers a number of advantages compared to the traditional hot dip finishing.
- the passivation layer offers a superior protection level. Hence, ULTRA GALVA, being cathodical, is self-healing in case of scratches, edges or perforations. Compared to hot dip, the articles remain very straight, no deflections appear nor flux or dull spots/ashes
- ULTRA GALVA can conveniently be cold-processed without any risk on flakes because of the perfect adhesion of the coating to the metal
- no zinc pins appear which enables one to install cables in a fast way avoiding any risk on damages to cables nor injuries of workers
- thanks to the longer life span, ULTRA GALVA does not require ongoing maintenance nor post painting actions
- three times less zinc is being applied compared to hot dip finishing
- there is hence a lower impact on natural ressources as well as less pollution
-on top, its production process generates less CO2 emission and ULTRA GALVA is 100% recyclable.
ULTRA GALVA is hence a vary valuable environmentally friendly alternative for the traditional stainless steel and hot-dip finishing!
