    This document provides a method statement for applying cold galvanization to metal components. It outlines the materials required including rust remover, solvent, wire brush, thinner/petrol and waste cloth. It also lists the safety requirements such as keeping fires away, only using on unenergized equipment, and using appropriate PPE. The process involves cleaning the rusted area, drying it, then applying zinc spray in light, even coats with a minimum of 2-3 coats for a DFT over 85 microns.

    Method Statement for Cold Galvanization

    Scope
    Application of cold galva (Zinc spray) on metal components
    Materials required Rust remover
    Make example: WD40
    Solvent
    Wire brush

    Thinner / petrol

    Waste cloth
    Zinc spray
    Make: CRC Galva brite or any reputed make mixture of zinc
    (purity 98%) and non-leafing aluminum
    Safety
    requirement

    Keep potential fires igniting material away from the work area.
    Do not use on energized equipment.
    Only Trained / authorized person to do the activity. Follow MSDS of product used.
    Use appropriate safety PPE like gloves, masks etc.

    Preparation

    Clean the affected portion / rusted area with wire brush / Sand paper / Rust
    remover till the rust particles are removed and base metal is visible.

    Cleaning
    Clean the area using wire brush and cloth.
    Drying
    Apply solvent to remove completely the rust and allow area to dry
    Cold Galvanization Shake aerosol can very well for at least one minute after agitator ball is free.
    Stir or mix bulk product well to obtain a homogeneous dispersion.
    Apply in light, even coats with 2 lighter rather than 1 heavy coat.
    Additional coats can be applied after 15-20 minutes.
    Number of coats
    DFT after coating

    Minimum 2 to 3 coats (10 to 15 minutes time gap for each coat)


    Above 85 microns

    Ref Standard

    IS 2629 : Recommended Practice for Hot Dip Galvanizing of Iron and Steel
    ASTM A780 Standard Practice for Repair of Damaged and Uncoated Areas of Hotdip Galvanized Coatings

    Note

    This to be strictly followed for rust affected areas and area where hot-dip portion
    is affected due to abrasion, mishandling etc. This is not an alternate method for
    hot-dip Galvanization.
