After many years, steel is still one of the most
common materials in everyday use.

Because it is versatile, strong and relatively cheap.

Unfortunately, where there's steel, there's rust!

Paint is one of the easiest ways to protect steel
from corrosion

but it only provides a barrier, preventing atmospheric moisture
reaching the steel surface.

Once this barrier is compromised, by either mechanical damage
or natural weathering, then corrosion will start.

Given time, this rust spreads underneath the paint film
resulting in coating failure.

Another well developed method of preventing corrosion
is dipping the steel to be protected in molten zinc.

In this process, known as 'hot-dip galvanizing', the zinc fuses to
the surface of the steel

to give not only barrier protection, like paints,
but also active galvanic protection.

When the steel surface is exposed beneath the zinc,
the steel is cathodically protected

by the sacrificial action of the zinc coating.

However, dismantling large structures to be galvanized in this way
is often impractical.

But now there is an easy solution:
ZINGA®

A dry layer of ZINGA® contains 96% pure zinc,
combining all the active and passive

protection properties of hot-dip galvanizing
with paints' ease of application.

With ZINGA®, you can galvanize or re-galvanize
existing structures both on-site or

in the workshop without compromising on protection.

Because ZINGA® has three times the expansion coefficient of steel
it is able to expand and contract

with the substrate.
ZINGA® is sufficiently flexible to withstand incredible

distortion, impact and cyclic vibration without
cracking, peeling or delaminating.

ZINGA® is certified as non-flammable to BS476 parts 6 and 7
and under extreme heat, produces very low levels

of smoke, with corresponding low toxicity.
Because of this, ZINGA® is certified by the

ministry of defense for use on the inside of
submarines.

One of the outstanding advantages of ZINGA®
is its ability to be easily recharged.

Additional coats of ZINGA® will all blend
to form a single homogeneous layer

regardless when they are applied.
An old ZINGA® layer never needs

to be removed before recoating,
which obviously saves in the significant costs

associated with abrasive blasting.

As the zinc in ZINGA® initially oxidizes,
the zinc salts seal the coating's natural porosity

and form a layer on the surface
offering an additional passive barrier

to the elements.
This, combined with the protection

provided by the non-toxic organic binder
further reduces the rate dissolution of the zinc layer.

ZINGA® can be applied in extreme temperatures
and can even be applied to a damp surface.

ZINGA® actually requires exposure to fresh air and fresh water
prior to exposure in a marine environment

to ensure the natural porosity is sealed
with zinc salts.

ZINGA® is totally non toxic in its dry state,
in fact ZINGA® is certified to BS6920 (2000)

for use with drinking water.
ZINGA® has an unlimited shelf life

and an unlimited pot life.

In industrial applications, ZINGA® is sprayed
in an automatic tunnel

where the steel is first heated and abrasive blasted
before being sprayed and heated again

for quick drying.

ZINGA® is a one component coating,
so is ready to be applied by brush or roller

once stirred completely.

For spraying manually or automatically,
a small percentage of ZINGASOLV has to be added

and ZINGA® has to be stirred continuously.

In summary, ZINGA® provides complete corrosion protection
to steel.

ZINGA® can be applied by brushing, rolling or spraying
to abrasive blast clean steel

on site or in the factory.

ZINGA® provides both passive barrier protection,
like a paint

an active cathodic protection,
like hot-dip galvanizing

and can be top coated after only 24 hours of curing.

Don't take our word for it though,
it's time for you to put ZINGA® to the test.
