Zinga is an ‘active’ system which ‘works’ with the metal underneath. Paints are only passive barriers. Regardless of how thick they are applied, they remain as barriers. Once they are breached, corrosion sets in immediately. Please see the NORSOK show that Zinga works extremely well in saline environments.

If the solvent or liquid Zinga is dropped into the water it could harm the fish and aquatic life. Once dry the Zinganised steelwork will do no harm at all if submerged.

Yes, again to a degree, but it does not leech out poisons or manufacture toxic chemicals like some other marine coatings. Zinga can behave as a mild anti-foulant because marine organisms nether like the current that naturally flows through theZinga layer nor the taste of Zinc. In situations where anti-fouling is vital though we would suggest the use of a compatible marine topcoat.

Normally 150 – 160°C with peaks of 180°C, with its lowest working temperature at -40°C.

Zinga is difficult to measure wet because it flattens off so quickly but it can be done. After it has fully dried it can be measured with a standard measuring instrument i.e. Elcometer 345.

Although Zinga has been used globally for nearly thirty years, it has never been actively marketed in the UK. Since 2001, however, Zinga UK has been increasing the profile of Zinga through its network of distributors.
