Metalizing Galvanizing vs. Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Metalizing is a recognized and approved repair method for damaged or delaminated hot-dip galvanizing
In pre-fabrication scenarios, it is often unfeasible to ship components long distances to undergo hot-dip galvanizing
Metalizing is a mobile service that arrives onsite and is performed with zero downtime
Metalizing is applied from the mobile unit, and can be performed on in-service equipment or inside a controlled shop environment
Metalizing can be applied to desired thickness
There is no risk of warping or distortion due to heat, as metalizing is a “cold process” by which the coated substrate or structure maintains ambient temperature as the molten feedstock is evenly applied. The same cannot be said for hot dip galvanizing — which involves a structure’s complete immersion into a molten zinc at high temperatures
Hot dip galvanizing does not always achieve a uniform coating, in which case a zinc-rich paint is used to compensate for the dipping process. This method of “completing” the dipping process reduces the durability and life expectancy of the galvanized component to that of a spray-painted coating
