ZINGA is a one-component zinc coating that provides active cathodic protection, combining the benefits of galvanizing and zinc-rich paint.
ZINGA® is a revolutionary cold galvanizing system that provides unmatched cathodic protection to steel surfaces. Unlike traditional hot-dip galvanizing, ZINGA® is a single-component zinc-rich coating that can be applied like paint while delivering the full benefits of galvanization.
Why Choose ZINGA®?
✅ 96% Zinc in Dry Film – Ensures powerful cathodic (active) protection.
✅ Dual Protection – Offers both galvanic & barrier protection.
✅ Easy Application – Can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed directly onto steel.
✅ Re-Galvanizing Capability – Perfect for touch-ups on existing galvanized structures.
✅ Long-Lasting Durability – Provides years of protection even in harsh environments.
✅ Eco-Friendly – Free from toxic heavy metals and complies with environmental standards.
✅ Weldable to X-ray quality.
✅ Certified to not spread flame or create smoke (BS476 parts 6&7).
✅ Unlimited shelf-life and unlimited pot-life.
Ideal Applications
🔹 Bridges & Infrastructure
🔹 Marine & Offshore Structures
🔹 Industrial Plants & Pipelines
🔹 Transmission Towers & Power Plants
🔹 Automotive & Rail Industries
🔹 Steel Fabrication & Construction
How ZINGA® Works
ZINGA® functions as an active zinc coating, forming a protective barrier against corrosion while also offering self-healing properties. If the coating is scratched, the surrounding zinc will sacrifice itself to protect the exposed steel, ensuring continued corrosion resistance.
