Galvanizing is the process of applying a protective coating to either iron or steel. Zinc is the most common protective coating used in the galvanization of iron and steel, this is due to the fact that zinc is extremely resistant to oxidation and therefore rusting.

Galvanized materials should be used in any high-humidity application such as near an ocean breeze or any direct ground contact conditions.

After applying an Ultrabond product, be sure to protect the installation from light traffic for at least 12 hours. Protect it from heavy traffic for at least 24 hours.
