ZINGA® has the most important advantage that it offers a real cathodic (galvanic) protection.
ZINGA® has a concentration of 96% special zinc in its dry layer which gives it its galvanic characteristics. The film galvanising system ZINGA® (also called “Zinganisation®“) distinguishes itself from cold galvanisation because of its higher quality. Only the application method of ZINGA® can be compared to traditional paint products, and not its protective properties.
Easy application on site
ZINGA® can be applied in the same way as paints.
Each and every model belonging to this category is no compromise to quality and reliability: true values of our brand made affordable to all.
Reloadable
A cured ZINGA® layer, will reliquidise if a new layer of ZINGA® is applied. This ensures the creation of 1 ZINGA® layer with a continuous electrochemical contact between the Zinc particles and thus galvanic protection. If the ZINGA® layer is very old, the Zinc salts on the surface (ensuring a passive protection), need to be removed to ensure complete reliquidisation; this can be obtained by performing a light sweep blast.
ZINGA® can be overcoated with a fast drying, compatible paint. Care should be taken to avoid affection of the Zinc layer by aggressive solvents of the topcoat.
Application under extreme circumstances
ZINGA® can be applied in a wide variety of weather conditions. The application surface temperature range is from -15°C to +40°C with a maximum humidity of 95% so long as the dew point is 3°C above the steel temperature.
ZINGA® has unlimited shelf life. This means it is possible to always have ZINGA® in storage for touch up or for future projects.
Contact with potable water
ZINGA® only contains non-toxic elements in its dry layer (after evaporation of the solvent). Therefore it can be, and has been, used in contact with potable water. Since the ZINGA® remains active, it produces Zinc salts which dissolve in the water.This can sometimes lead to small precipitations in the water, which are however non toxic. To avoid this, we recommend to wash the surface very thoroughly with fresh water. For more information, contact a Zingametall representative.
Flexible layer
ZINGA®, containing 96% Zinc in the dry layer has very few binder. In fact, not every Zinc particle is completely surrounded by resin. This also explains why the ZINGA® layer is rough and porous. However, this is why ZINGA® behaves like a metal when it comes to impact and bending. An impact will simply push away and compress the Zinc particles, not “breaking” the ZINGA® layer
