Zinc-aluminum coating: management of Galfan® lines

$15.00

If the application of zinc-aluminium coating was frozen for years due to the cost of its application, the actual oil price justifies totally the development of off-shore platforms that require high anti-corrosives coatings. Also, the extension of demand for gabions for work in salty or “high humidity” conditions justifies a strong comeback of this technology on the wire market in recent years. This paper presents a quick overview of the actual trends of the use and the application of zinc-aluminium coating technology.
