What is a cold galvanizing compound? A cold galvanizing compound is a product that simulates — and rivals — the performance of hot-dip galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanization must occur in a manufacturing plant whereas cold galvanizing compounds can be applied anywhere out of a can like a paint solution or other easy formats.
