Rust-Anode Primer Now Approved in Alberta: Another Milestone for the Protection of Canadian Infrastructure
A Canadian company, specialized corrosion protection expertise, and a new recognition expanding the potential use of our solution in public infrastructure projects.
Galvatech is proud to announce that its Rust-Anode Primer (RAP) product has been approved by the Government of Alberta for use on provincial government projects.
This new approval represents an important milestone in expanding our presence across Canada. It adds to the existing recognitions obtained from Quebec’s Ministry of Transport (MTQ), Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO), and Prince Edward Island’s Department of Transportation.
As a Canadian company specializing in corrosion protection, we are proud to contribute to the durability of our country’s infrastructure by offering solutions designed to address the demands of Canadian environments, industrial applications, and climate conditions.
New Opportunities Across Western and Northern Canada
Alberta’s approval creates new opportunities for engineers, contractors, steel fabricators, and infrastructure owners seeking effective solutions to protect steel against corrosion.
It may also be relevant to projects in Canada’s northern territories, including Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, where certain practices, technical references, or project requirements may draw on those of other Canadian jurisdictions, including Alberta and British Columbia.
However, the use of Rust-Anode Primer in these territories remains subject to the requirements applicable to each project and acceptance by the relevant contracting authority.
Recognized Technical Performance
Beyond government approvals, Rust-Anode Primer offers several technical characteristics and references relevant to the protection of metal infrastructure.
These technical references help professionals evaluate protective coating solutions according to project requirements, exposure conditions, and durability objectives.
A Solution to Extend the Service Life of Steel Structures
Corrosion remains a major challenge for public and industrial infrastructure, including bridges, steel structures, equipment, transportation facilities, and assets exposed to harsh weather or aggressive environments.
Selecting a protective coating system requires consideration of its corrosion resistance, application requirements, maintenance needs, and overall lifecycle cost.
Rust-Anode Primer is a single-component, zinc-rich coating that provides corrosion protection and can simplify certain steel maintenance and repair operations. It is an option worth considering when access constraints, surface preparation requirements, or operational limitations make maintenance work more challenging.
By offering additional options for protecting and repairing steel, RAP provides professionals with another solution to help meet the durability requirements of infrastructure projects.
A Canadian Company Supporting Canadian Infrastructure
Galvatech is proud to be a Canadian company specializing in corrosion protection and coating solutions for steel structures.
Our commitment is to provide technical solutions suited to the realities of Canadian infrastructure, industry, and climate conditions, while helping professionals make informed decisions about steel protection.
Recognition in Quebec, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and now Alberta continues to expand the potential applications of Rust-Anode Primer across Canadian infrastructure projects.
We remain committed to our goal: protecting steel, reducing maintenance requirements, and helping extend the service life of Canadian infrastructure.
