1,Dual anti-corrosion protection system

 

Hot dip galvanized substrate protection

By infiltrating steel with molten zinc at a high temperature of 500 ℃, an 80-86 μ m zinc iron alloy layer is formed, achieving metallurgical bonding and effectively isolating oxygen and moisture. The corrosion resistance life can reach more than 15 years.

The zinc layer has self-healing properties: when there is local damage, the surrounding zinc layer continuously protects the substrate through the sacrificial anode principle, avoiding rust diffusion.

Spray coating outer layer reinforcement

Electrospray polyester powder forms a coating with a thickness of ≥ 100 μ m, further enhancing its resistance to ultraviolet radiation, salt spray, and chemical corrosion, extending the overall anti-corrosion life to 20 years.

The plastic layer covers the hot-dip galvanized surface to prevent direct exposure of the zinc layer to oxidation losses caused by extreme weather conditions.

 

2,Adaptability to harsh environments

 

Temperature tolerance

The combination process of galvanizing and spray coating can withstand temperatures ranging from -50 ℃ to 75 ℃, and is suitable for areas with severe temperature differences such as the Nordic polar nights and equatorial deserts.

Mechanical protection performance

The hardness of the galvanized layer is higher than that of the steel body, and the adhesion of the spray coating is verified by the grid cut test (GB9286 standard), which can resist the impact of strong winds of level 14 and sand and gravel wear.

Through IP68/IP69K protection certification, it meets the complex environmental requirements of high salt spray, flood and waterlogging along the coast (such as a 3-meter rise in water level during flood season in Bangladesh projects).

 

3,Collaborative optimization of functionality and aesthetics

 

Color customization capability

Spray painting provides over 200 color options that can match urban landscape design requirements (such as matte white to reduce snow glare, and deep gray integrated into industrial color tones).

Surface quality improvement

Hot dip galvanizing eliminates burrs on the surface of steel, and the spray coating solidifies at high temperatures to form a smooth and dense film layer, avoiding traditional paint sagging and orange peel phenomena.

 

4,Full lifecycle cost advantage

 

Reduced maintenance costs

Compared to a single cold galvanizing solution (requiring 2-3 years of maintenance), the combination of galvanizing and spray coating extends the maintenance cycle to over 10 years, reducing the frequency of maintenance by 87% for projects in remote areas.
