Bilt Hamber
Bilt Hamber Electrox
Bilt Hamber Electrox protects steel from corrosion with both barrier and electrical functionality. Coating steel with Electrox produces a surface film containing over 90% metallic zinc. Once cured, the tightly packed zinc particles establish an electronically conductive pathway, enabling cathodic protection of the underlying steel; exactly the same principle utilised in hot zinc galvanising.
For years, galvanised steel has proven to provide outstanding longevity even in the most hostile and aggressive environments. It’s unfortunate that the process involves hot dipping steel into a bath of liquid zinc.
For many items and projects this is, of course, simply not possible. For those wanting to provide the very best protection to steel, Bilt-Hamber’s Electrox allows the advantages of a zinc coating to be obtained as simply as if a normal metal primer were being used. It can be applied by brush or by spray, and as it is a single pack product there is no need for mixing activators. The cured zinc film can be left uncoated or top coated with a wide range of finishing paints to further increase protection
