Why does Corrosion occur?
Corrosion is the degradation of metal when exposed to environmental elements such as water and oxygen.
Steel rusts, copper tarnishes and most metals, unless protected, will eventually return to their natural state. Galmet ColdGal & DuraGal offer the utmost protection.

Galmet DuraGal
Galmet DuraGal is a quick drying, aluminium rich protective coating which is bright silver in colour. It is formulated to provide corrosion resistance to welds and other steel products whilst providing the appearance of a new DuraGal or hot-dip galvanised surface.
The ultra-high aluminium content in Galmet DuraGal provides a superior barrier to moisture and other corrosive agents compared to conventional bright silver paints.
Galmet Duragal can be used on its own or with Galmet ColdGal to provide a synergistic system. Together the products work to maximise the protection of steel and welds, repair damaged hot-dip galvanised components and provide all over premium, rust prevention.
