BEST-KEPT SECRET GALVANISES INTO ACTION ARMORGALV AUSTRALIA IS THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE COUNTRY THAT USES THE THERMAL ZINC DIFFUSION GALVANISING PROCESS – A STRONGER, LONGER-LASTING, MORE AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL GALVANISING METHODS.

rmorGalv is a superior galvanising process that uses thermal diffusion to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and durable galvanising technique was designed in Israel in 1993. However, it did not find its way to Australian shores until 2010, when ArmorGalv Australia was born. The process is unique and exclusive to ArmorGalv Australia, as it is the only plant of its kind in the country. Based in Thornton, New South Wales, approximately 20 minutes outside of Newcastle, the Australian site is recognised as the largest ArmorGalv plant in the Southern Hemisphere.
CORROSION PROTECTION FOR MINING EQUIPMENT IS ESSENTIAL.
ArmorGalv Australia general manager Clive Jones says that ArmorGalv is leading the Australian industry and has done so for more than 10 years. “ArmorGalv is the new age of galvanising. It lasts three times longer than hot-dip galvanising, as proven by many salt spray and real life tests,” he said. The advanced ArmorGalv coating technology is called Thermal Zinc Diffusion galvanising. A uniform, sacrificial zinc-iron coating is applied to any ferrous item using a metallurgical vapour diffusion process. It is a corrosion-resistant and abrasion-resistant coating solution that helps increase the life of the AUSTRALIANMINING
