GALVAGRIPTM
SURFACE PREPARATION
COMPOUND FOR GALVANIZED METAL
GalvaGrip
is a
unique adhesion-enhancing compound designed to prepare galvanized
surfaces for the application of protective coatings. By greatly
increasing the adhesion of Madison’s GalvaClad family of coatings,
GalvaGrip eliminates the need for abrasive blasting for virtually
all applications, including embedded and immersion service.
GalvaGrip also works well on weathering steel (sometimes referred to
as Corten™ Steel).
Easy
to use and environmentally-friendly, GalvaGrip contains a
rust-dissolving agent, a powerful degreaser, an industrial-grade
surface penetrating compound and Madison’s proprietary AP-50
Adhesion Promoter. All of these work synergistically to create
adhesion comparable to that achieved with a near-white abrasive
blast on galvanized and weathering steel structures. A soap-like
liquid, GalvaGrip is simply brushed or sprayed on to the surface
prior to coating. Leave it for 10 minutes to remove oxidation and
contamination, then power wash or scrub off the resulting residue
with ordinary tap water. Once the surface dries, it is ready to
coat with any protective coating that also contains AP-50.
GalvaGrip contains NO hazardous ingredients and has no special
disposal requirements.

Typical Applications:
Designed for in-plant or field applications, GalvaGrip
prepared metal may be topcoated with one of the following:
GalvaClad Aromatic, GalvaClad Aliphatic (both are instant
setting polyurethanes, designed primarily for shop use) or
GalvaClad Liquid Zinc (paint-like, suitable for field
application). End uses include building components (e.g.
trusses, beams, girders, galvanized panels), pipes,
conduits, metal roofing, siding, industrial/recreational
equipment, water/wastewater facilities processing and
storage, highway structures from signs to guardrails,
mining, marine, food and beverage |
