Have you ever wished there was a way to refurbish your anchor and chain, rather than spending so much money purchasing a new one or trying to find a way to regalvanize it?   NOW THERE IS

rusty

Thermal Spray it with Zinc and Aluminum.  It will last years longer than a new one.  It’s less expensive than re-galvanizing.  No weight requirement as in re-galvanizing. Thermal Spray is a process, not a product. It is a service we offer.

As we all know, anchors and chain deteriorate over time and often become rusty and unsightly.  This corrosion also lessens the strength and functions they’re designed to do, let alone the mess on deck.

Most people will ask, “Where can I get my anchor and chain re-galvanized?”  And after contacting  a galvanizing company, find that the minimum weight charge may be around 900 pounds and they only have a 50 pound anchor.  They could find 18 other people that need their anchor re-galvanized.

They often also ask, “Should I re-galvanize or not?”  The problem is, re-galvanizing is the only process they know to protect against corrision. 

The reason the problem hasn’t changed, is that no widely-known, new technology has replaced galvanizing.

Most boaters know galvanizing acts as an anode, protecting the underwater metals by slowly dissolving and acting as a sacrificial material.  They place a zinc anode on underwater shafts, on outboard engine shafts and other places for protection.

What can you do?  Now, you can refurbish anchors and other parts  that rust over time with a better process and material.  You don’t have to purchase an expensive new anchor just because it’s rusty on the outside. You can even have a longer lasting anchor than if you went out and bought a new one.

What’s different now is that testing of a little known product and process has proven it works better and longer than galvanizing, at protecting against corrosion.

Only in the last five years or so, have the studies of thermal spray corrosion protection been proven.  Metal bridges accross the U.S., that have been sprayed with zinc and aluminum to protect against corrosion, were sprayed over 50 years ago.  It’s taken that many years to study the effects of the process, materials and cost over time versus galvanizing or coating with urethanes and paint.

Unlike galvanizing, zinc with Aluminum spray applications last longer and are recommended for repair of galvanized substrates.  State governments and the military use it for many applications.
