What is Colourgalv?

Colourgalv is a duplex coating that combines the corrosion protection benefits of hot dip galvanizing with the aesthetic beauty and colour of powder coating. We are able to carry out colour galvanizing in locations including Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, throughout Scotland and beyond.  Colourgalv uses hot dip galvanizing as a basecoat (1) to ensure that every surface of the steel is protected from corrosion. The galvanized material is then subjected to a multi-stage in house pre-treatment process before the addition of a Polyester powder coating topcoat (3) that adds additional protection whilst also providing a colour and texture.

What is Colourgalv Marine?

Colourgalv Marine is our premium triplex coating that utilises the same performance benefits of hot dip galvanizing (1) and polyester powder coating (3) but adds an additional epoxy barrier coat (2) between the galvanizing basecoat and powder topcoat. This ensures the zinc coating does not oxidise in salt rich or harsher environments.

Process & Capabilities

Colourgalv Capabilities

For items to be a candidate for the Colourgalv process each piece should weigh no more than 700 kgs and should not exceed overall dimensions of 6.9m x 2.9m x 1.1m.

e.g. an item with overall dimensions of 6m x 1.8m x 0.5m is ok but an item 3m x 1.8m x 1.5m would be unsuitable.

Most moving parts, such as hinges, are unsuitable for the process. An exception to this rule is slip bolts on gates, these should be designed to ensure that the bolts will have adequate room to move once the galvanizing has taken place.

For more information on design please visit the technical section. If you are at all uncertain on the suitability of an item please give us a call on one of the phone numbers above.

Colourgalv Marine

For coastal and offshore environments Colourgalv Marine is our premium triplex coating. It utilises the same superior corrosion protection benefits of a hot dip galvanizing basecoat and a polyester powder topcoat with addition of an epoxy barrier coat between the galvanized surface and the topcoat. This ensures that the zinc coating does not oxidise in the salt rich environment thus prolonging the overall protection on your material.

Powder Coated Surface Repairs & Restoration

If you have an old or tired powder coated surface that needs restoring, or a powder coated part that is damaged, our team of specialists at Highland Galvinizers can repair the item at our factories in Cumbernauld & Elgin.

We cater for all types of powder coating restoration, including commercial repair projects such as railings and fences, tables and benches, sculptures, light fittings, frames, racks, and playground equipment.

Whilst powder coating is tough and durable when applied correctly, items that are placed outdoors permanently are often susceptible to damage or degradation over time, such as chipping and peeling, whether it’s from heavy use, rust or constant exposure to the elements and drastic change in temperatures. If the surface of the item wasn’t properly prepared prior to its initial powder coating, the coating may not have adhered well. Likewise, if the powder coating was applied too thinly, this can also result in wear.

Our powder coating repair specialists can restore your parts to a high standard, returning life and vigour back to your items. Not only will they look visually-appealing once again, but having the item repaired will prevent rust and corrosion from spreading, with the repair and fresh powder coat providing a protective barrier to extend the life of your item.

Contact us today on 01236 731 444 to discuss your repair project with a member of our team.
