Gradus has been in the galvanizing industry since 1993 and is well known amongst his peers. In 2010 he completed the Hot Dip Galvanizers Association SA’s higher grade inspector course that includes SANS 14713, SANS 121 and SANS 32 (NHD Mech) which enables him to do inspections and issue certificates.
Our vision is to ensure that the highest levels of quality and service are maintained at all times and his motto of “Quality always First” is welcomed by all customers.
Pro-Galv specialises in anti-corrosion treatments for mild steel / wrought iron / pewter products such as burglar bars, gates, palisade fencing, structural steel, radiators, irrigation pipes, garden furniture, etc. Pro-Galv uses one or a combination of the following in-house processes, to control corrosion for a period of time:
Hot dip galvanizing is a metallurgical process whereby zinc reacts and bonds with suitably cleaned mild steel when dipped into molten zinc at about 450ºC
Bath size: 7200 x 1300 x 2600 (L x W x D)
The blasting of steel grit under air pressure onto the steel surface to remove contaminants such as rust, old paint or foreign coatings.
Booth size: 8000 x 3000 x 3000 (L x W x H)
Thermal spraying of zinc or aluminium onto shot blasted mild steel / wrought iron / pewter surfaces.
An additional coating of a pre-selected paint system over Hot Dip Galvanized or thermal sprayed surfaces, for enhanced corrosion control.
The removing of mill scale / rust from steel surfacing using acid.
In order to enhance the adhesion of a paint system applied to a hot dip galvanized substrate, the components are dipped into a propriety chemical coating. In addition to enhancing paint adhesion, the product circumvents the formation of white rust.
