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.
