TYPE: Single pack, premixed, ready-to-apply, liquid organic zinc compound with a shiny finish to closely approximate the color of hot-dip galvanizing.

GENERAL PROPERTIES: GALVILITE® is a high-quality metallic zinc coating based on a trade secret organic binder which affords true galvanic anti-corrosion protection to metals. The dried film of GALVILITE is 95% metallic zinc. Because of the uniqueness of the formulation, GALVILITE is the only coating of its type to be recognized under the Component Program of Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.

RECOMMENDED USES: GALVILITE is widely used without topcoat in place of hot-dip galvanizing. Also used as a high-performance base coat with a variety of topcoats. Used for repair of damaged hot-dip galvanizing Galvalume® and zinc metallizing, regalvanizing worn hot-dip galvanizing, repair of weldments, and repair of damaged inorganic zinc coatings. Excellent for long-term protection of structural steel, water and waste facilities, power plants, transmission towers and antennae, steel decking and bridges, and numerous OEM uses.

SUBSTRATES: Apply to properly prepared carbon steel, cast iron, hot-dip galvanized, and aluminum surfaces.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR: Contact with potable water, strong acids or strong alkalis
