Hot-dip galvanisation is the most effective treatment method for protecting ironwork from the aggression of atmospheric agents.
The grating panels, after the washing and pickling treatment that allows a deep cleaning of the metal, are immersed in a bath of liquid zinc. The zinc adheres to the steel, creating a coating of controlled thickness, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 1461 standard.
Freshly galvanised panels are left to cool and individually checked to remove small imperfections. In the days following galvanisation, due to the self-passivating characteristics of zinc, a layer of zinc oxide forms on the entire surface, protecting the product for decades. Zinc, in fact, being a less noble metal than iron in chemical terms, offers cathodic protection, oxidising itself instead of the metal it covers.
– Surface cleaning of the product (removing traces of paint, adhesive, cement, etc.);
– Degreasing in an alkaline solution (elimination of oily residues);
– Pickling in hydrochloric acid HCl = 120/130 q/lt (elimination of all oxide layers present);
– Washing (elimination of all traces of acid);
– Fluxing in ZnCl2-NH4Cl solution;
– Drying in dryer;
– Immersion in molten zinc (440° – 460°)
Grating fences are painted using a polyester powder applied on the metal at high temperature. Polyester powder, has the characteristic of being a thermosetting material: it is made of selected polyester resins that after application has excellent characteristics of resistance to atmospheric agents and ultraviolet radiation, thus guaranteeing colour stability and durability in outdoor environments.
Polyester powder gives the fence an aesthetically pleasing appearance and the uniformity of the colour chosen by the customer from a wide range of variations.
