Zinga Galvanising System

ZINGA - A FILM GALVANISING SYSTEM

ZINGA is a one component zinc rich coating or Film Galvanising System containing 96% zinc (dust) in its dry film. It is a metallic coating and not a paint. The purity of the zinc used, is so high that dry ZINGA does not contain any toxic elements.

ZINGA differentiates from other anti-corrosion methods in combining both Passive and Active protection in an easily applied film galvanising system that not only delivers active cathodic protection but also provides a passive physical shield.

ZINGA is an active zinc performance coating which works in conjunction with the metal beneath, whereas paints are only passive barriers. Regardless of how thick paints are applied, they remain as barriers. Once they are breached, corrosion sets in immediately. Despite this significant difference ZINGA is still often mistaken for a paint simply because it’s liquid and comes in a tin. But there are other more subtle differences. For example it does not “skin over” in the tin because ZINGA has an unlimited pot-life and it doesn’t go “tacky” like a paint.

In case of mechanical damages or in case of expansion and shrinking of the metal due to temperature variations, there will be no formation of rust whatsoever.

Advantages

• Easy application on site and in workshop (Zinganisation)

• By brush, roller, painting gloves, spray-application (conventional or airless)

• Can be applied on site, even by non-professionals

• Application in a wide range of weather conditions

• Damp surface (no droplets)

• High or low temperatures

• Application under ambient temperatures

• No deformation

• No energy loss

Advantages

• Quick drying time

• Touch-dry in 10 min (20° C)

• ZINGA second layer: 1 hour after touch-dry

• Other paints: after 6 to 24 hours

• Does not peel off and is not brittle

• Will be compressed or squashed

• Will not crack thanks to its flexibility

• Local damages can be repaired easily
