Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Unigalv<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What is Unigalv?<\/strong>
Unigalv is a one-component coating system containing 96% zinc in the dry film, providing cathodic protection to ferrous metals. It serves as an alternative to hot-dip galvanization, a primer in duplex systems, or a recharging system for existing galvanized surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. How does Unigalv protect metal surfaces?<\/strong>
Unigalv offers cathodic protection by forming a zinc layer that actively prevents corrosion on ferrous metals. It can be used on its own or as part of a duplex system with compatible topcoats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How does cathodic protection work?<\/strong>
Cathodic protection works by using a sacrificial anode (such as zinc) to prevent the corrosion of a more reactive metal, like steel. The zinc in Unigalv acts as the anode and corrodes preferentially, protecting the underlying steel from rust and deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What are the application methods for Unigalv?<\/strong>
Unigalv can be applied by brushing, rolling, or spraying onto a clean and rough surface. It is also available in an aerosol format for convenient application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What surfaces can Unigalv be applied to?<\/strong>
Unigalv is suitable for bare steel, previously galvanized surfaces, and worn hot-dip galvanized or metallized surfaces. Proper surface preparation is necessary for optimal adhesion and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Is Unigalv environmentally friendly?<\/strong>
Yes, Unigalv is non-toxic once dry and complies with environmental safety standards. It has excellent UV resistance and is free from hazardous heavy metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. What is the recommended drying time for Unigalv?<\/strong>
Unigalv dries through solvent evaporation. At 20\u00b0C in a well-ventilated environment, it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
