TYGRIS R224 is a premium bright zinc and aluminium aerosol formulated to restore and protect metal surfaces after cutting or welding. With a high-purity zinc filler (>60% in the dried film), R224 offers sacrificial corrosion protection and delivers a finish that blends seamlessly with existing galvanised surfaces bringing durability and shine back to life.
