■ COLIMET / Operating in Europe, Africa and China. decades of experience
70 years without rust is not a dream
Teacher of the spray galvanizing, It provides products and systems
Colimet collects forty heritage in the field of non-ferrous metals of its owner. Has worked in the field dell'anticorrosione, providing products, plant and equipment, and marketing of non-ferrous metals. Markets all the metal wires, animated and non-, for surfacing corrosion and wear Finnish production, Italian, German and Chinese. Distributes anodes, spheres of zinc, grit zinc for galvanizing, wires and solder. In Italy the field of spray galvanizing, in which Colimet is a main actor regarding the commercialization of systems of electric arc spraying and related wires, It is gathering a growing interest on the part of those who exercise carpentry work, sandblasting and painting of metals. This versatile technology, simple, ecological and inexpensive, It is in fact available to all operators, including small iron craftsmen. Features of the system? First, it is environmentally friendly because it does not have problems of acid and disposal of waste and lack of Voc; It is not energy-intensive (solo 10 Kw/h); it turns on and off as needed; it is versatile (sprays also other metals), it is mobile (It can also be moved in the yards where they must be restored rusty steel structures). Finally you can deposit on iron thicknesses up to 500 micron, given important for the designer which can determine a priori a protection against rust than 50/70 years without the need for costly periodic maintenance. The potential job does not fail because in Italy only 10% of steel products are effectively protected against rust. A system of electric arc spraying can meet hundreds of thousands of blacksmiths and carpenters scattered throughout the area. Adding the metallization activities, realize a twofold objective: on the one hand, the added value of their work is increased, at the same time it is offered to their end customers a product lasting decades without having to resort to costly periodic maintenance. As for technological innovation, Colimet introduced in the Italian market a "dynamic" electronically controlled generator, unique in the world can handle in a synergistic way and the contemporary 5 the thermal spray parameters. This brings with it considerable economic and technical benefits including the reduction of 30% in the formation of zinc oxides, the reduction in the consumption of zinc, the energy savings of 25% and reducing the 20% air. The end result is higher quality coatings fine grained and temperature reduction.
