Structural Supports Protection against Seawater and Atmospheric Corrosion | ZINGA
Active and Passive action alternative to hot-dip galvanising for long-term structural steel protection.
When galvanizing isn’t feasible or existing protection has degraded, our solution, ZINGA provides an alternative that delivers both active cathodic and passive barrier protection.
ZINGA is a single-component, zinc-rich coating containing 96% zinc in the dry film. Applied like a paint, it behaves like a liquid anode, sacrificing itself to protect the underlying steel. Unlike traditional coatings, ZINGA can be recharged over time, meaning you can restore its protection without removing the original layer.
Zinc-rich film galvanizing systems offer both active and passive corrosion protection for structural supports that are continuously exposed to corrosive environments such as salt-laden air, high humidity atmospheres.
Zinga, liquid galvanising system offers the benefits of hot-dip galvanisation with the flexibility of an applied coating to protect these critical assets though a unique combination of active cathodic and passive barrier protection ensuring long term structural integrity.
Key Advantages:
Dual Protection: Zinc particles provide sacrificial (cathodic) protection while the organic binder forms a continuous, impermeable barrier.
Surface Rechargeability: Can be overcoated on existing hot-dip galvanised or metallised surfaces, extending their service life.
Self-Healing Zinc Layer: Minor mechanical damage is self–replenished as exposed zinc particles sacrificially corrode to protect the steel.
C5 High-Corrosivity Rating: Tested to ISO 12944-6 C5 standards for offshore and marine exposure.
It is equally effective as:
– A standalone system for new or refurbished steel
– A primer in duplex systems, combined with epoxy or polyurethane topcoats
– A maintenance recharge over existing galvanised or metallised surfaces
