Zinga
The film galvanising system ZINGA® is a one pack coating that contains 96% zinc in the dry film and provides cathodic protection to ferrous metals. It can be used as a unique system as
an alternative to hot-dip galvanisation or metallisation, as primer in a duplex system or as a recharging system for hot-dip galvanisation or metallisation. It can be applied by brushing, rolling
or spraying on a clean and rough substrate in a wide range of atmospheric circumstances. ZINGA® is also available as an aerosol and is sold as Zingaspray.
Also, Zinga can be used to protect reinforcing steel from corrosion. Zinganzing the steel re-bars before assembly and immersion in concrete ensures vastly increased protection from
corrosion without reducing the pull-out strength of the bars. Recent tests in three independent laboratories showed that ZINGA had at least twice the corrosion protection of either
galvanised or epoxy coated rebars.
Advantages
- Combines cathodic (galvanic) and barrier protection
- Is easy to apply
- Can be applied in bad weather conditions
- Can be applied under ambient temperatures and humid conditions
- Has a quick drying time
- Has a flexible layer, adjusts itself to the metal structure
- Doesn’t peel off and is not brittle
- Can be reloaded with Zinga
- Can be used to reload hot-dip and metallic surfaces
- Reduced layer thickness for equal protection that is reduced application costs
- Massive cost saving in on-going maintenance
- Has a content of 96% Zinc in the dry layer
- Can be top-coated with compatible paints
- Can be in contact with potable water
- Is heat resistant up to 150 OC
- Has fire retardant properties
- Has an unlimited shelf life
Uses
- Stand alone system
- As a primer in a duplex system
- As a shop primer
- Repair for worn and damaged hot-dip galvanized or metal sprayed structures
- On rebars
