When galvanizing a steel article it may be desirable to prevent a coating from forming in certain areas which will have special functions such as:

HDG Datasheet 14 - Masking and Prevention of Hot Dip Galvanized Coating A threaded component on a fabrication
• Drilled holes
• Surfaces which will be subject to welding after galvanizing

There are several different methods that may be used to prevent a coating from forming on the steelwork, the preferred option being dependent upon the nature of the area which requires masking off.

This datasheet offers information on the following:
