ZRC Galvilite Galvanizing Repair Compound Aerosol is a self-healing galvanic film that does not require sandblasting for most applications, providing both up-front labor savings and extended longevity of corrosion protection.
ZRC Galvilite is a single pack, premixed, ready to apply, liquid organic zinc compound in an aerosol format for galvanizing repair and corrosion protection. It is formulated to closely match the silvery finish of galvanized metal and provides galvanic protection with 95% metallic zinc by weight in the dry film. Galvilite is recognized under the Underwriters Laboratories Component Program as equivalent to hot dip galvanizing and is used for field repairs, weld touch up, and restoration of damaged zinc rich coatings.

What is Galvilite used for?
It is used for repair of damaged hot dip galvanizing, field applied galvanizing, rust proofing welds, and repair of damaged inorganic zinc coatings.
How much zinc is in the coating?
Metallic zinc content is 95% by weight in the dry film.
How fast does it dry?
Set to touch when ambient air dried is 20 to 30 minutes. Recoat time for a second coat is after 12 hours.
Can it be topcoated?
Yes. After 24 to 48 hours, topcoat with compatible systems such as acrylic, epoxy, urethane, or vinyl coatings. Do not use alkyd, alkyd modified acrylic, or lacquer type products.
What surface preparation is recommended?
Typical examples include solvent cleaning grease and oils to SSPC SP1, power tool cleaning rust scale to SSPC SP11, sandblasting mill scale to SSPC SP6, and for water immersion (100 F maximum) sandblasting to SSPC SP10.
What temperatures can the coating handle in service?
Maximum service temperature is 350 F (177 C) constant and 750 F (399 C) intermittent.
