Martin-Senour Introduces Golvq Eich

A new acid etch which paves the way for lasting paint protection on galvanized metals has been developed by the Martin-Senour palnt company.

Called Galva Etch, it cleans and etches galvanized, galvanealed, zinc-treated and cadmium plated metal surfaces preparatory to painting. It provides a good "anchor" for paint and improves the quality and durability of the paint coat.

Martin-Senour points out that Galva Etch prevents paint from flaking and peeling-a common occurence with zinc-treated metals, The new prod.uct is fast and easy to use. It is simply wiped or brushed on, allowed to work for a few seconds or minutes, rinsed and wiped dry. Because it is a concentrated solution meant to be diluted with water, it goes a long way and is economical to use.

Galva Etch is packaged in a unbreakable plastic one-gallon jug with built-in handle for easy, safe handling. Quart sizes are also available in glass bottles.
