1. Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe with clean water or neutral soap monthly to remove dust and oil. Avoid using abrasives or strong acidic or alkaline cleaners to prevent damage to the zinc coating.
2. Preventing Impact and Scratches: Use soft pads or protective covers during transportation and installation to prevent impact from hard objects that could cause the zinc coating to peel.
3. Anti-Corrosion Coating: Apply a layer of rust-proof oil, epoxy/polyurethane paint, or specialized zinc-rich paint to the zinc coating for secondary protection, especially when exposed to rain, salt spray, or industrial pollution.
4. Proper Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated, and light-proof location to prevent prolonged moisture from dissolving the zinc coating.
5. Regular Inspection and Repair: Inspect the surface every six months. If rust spots or plating peeling are found, reapply zinc-rich paint or repair agent immediately. If necessary, perform partial sanding and recoat.
6. Avoid High Temperatures and Corrosive Media: Do not allow galvanized pipes to come into direct contact with high-temperature steam or strong acidic or alkaline liquids to accelerate corrosion.
Following the above six points can significantly extend the service life of outdoor galvanized pipes and maintain their rust-proof properties.
