Painting and powder coating on galvanized steel
it is relatively easy to apply organic coatings on top of galvanized steel. These are often referred to as duplex systems.
These coatings are used to
- add colour for aesthetic, camouflage, or safety purposes
- increase the economic life of a structure
- provide additional protection in very aggressive environments
Any additional coatings should be specifically formulated for use on galvanized steel and applied in accordance with the paint manufacturer’s recommendations.
The specification of these systems will depend upon both the application and service environment.Â
