Galvatech technologies use an active cathodic zinc layer created by an electrochemical bonding process to the substrates providing outstanding corrosion protection.

Rust-Anode technology is applied to more than 1500 transmission galvanized towers structures per year in North America.

Our proven Galvanizing Compound recharges the zinc protection of worn-out galvanized.

Additionally, we hold approvals for its use on entire bridges (DOTs), communication electrical towers, dam infrastructures, and new steel structures.

Brands: Galvatech's mission is to solve rust and corrosion problems in sustainable ways, thus doing our share for the environment giving a second life to existing assets.

    For over a decade, the Galvatech Rust-Anode Galvanizing Compound has proven its efficiency to protect galvanized structures with the same protection mechanism as when they are manufactured galvanized.

    Transmission towers and substations are among an electric utility’s largest and most important commercial assets. More than 3,200 electric utilities operate hundreds of thousands of transmission towers in the USA. Cost-saving measures can double or triple long-term maintenance costs while increasing the risk for power outages and public safety problems. Depending on where they are situated, galvanized transmission towers and poles can function for 20 to 35 years before showing the first signs of corrosion. While galvanized steel in rural or desert settings may remain rust-free for up to 50 years. Once a galvanized transmission tower or pole corrodes, the corrosion advances exponentially. A tower structure or a pole with less than 5% rust at age 30 can oxidize to the point of failure within 10 years. More critically, as the tower or pole corrosion accelerates, the repair time, labor, and materials cost may increase. Corrosion damage is one of the more pervasive threats to the structural integrity of steel poles, lattice towers, and other utility transmission assets. For a material type that was once considered relatively maintenance-free compared to wood structures, the industry now realizes that steel structures require proactive inspection and remediation.

    Maintaining the grid assets is one of the main focuses the utilities must think about. That is why we are now offering the Rust-Anode solution; a unique galvanizing compound specially made for galvanized steel that needs a new life. We succeeded in creating an active compound that acts as galvanizing, thus making an electrochemical bond to the substrates. Moreover, health and safety standards are always a concern for workers, and we heard them. This technology has all the right properties to suit your corrosion needs and safety concerns.

    Today we are proud to present a proven solution used on more than 10,000 galvanized transmission towers in North America. With over a decade of expertise with this unique technology, we offer an advantageous alternative to paint coatings. Primarily zinc-based and compatible with the existing zinc (galvanized steel), it provides galvanic protection to complement the current galvanized layer remaining.

    We look forward to discussing this unique solution at the upcoming IEEE Conference. You are welcome to stop by Booth #3342 to discuss this anti-corrosion approach with our specialists in more detail. The Rust-Anode® Galvanizing Compound Solution will change how you maintain the galvanized transmission structures.

  • For over a decade, the Galvatech Rust-Anode Galvanizing Compound has proven its efficiency to protect galvanized structures with the exact protection mechanism as when they are manufactured galvanized.

    Transmission towers and poles are among an electric utility's largest and most important commercial assets. More than 3,200 electric utilities operate hundreds of thousands of transmission towers in the U.S.A. Most of these structures were built between 1960 and 1990, which means they have had or will soon need structural maintenance and repairs. Cost-saving measures can double or triple long-term maintenance costs while increasing the risk for power outages and public safety problems. Depending on where they are situated, galvanized transmission towers and poles can function for 20 to 35 years before showing the first signs of corrosion. While galvanized steel in rural or desert settings may remain rust-free for up to 50 years. While a galvanized transmission tower or pole corrode, the corrosion advances exponentially.
