Technology keeps moving on and the galvanising of steel is no exception.

The ZINGA Film Galvanising System, developed over forty years ago is a single pack coating that contains 96% pure zinc in the dryfilm and provides cathodic protection of ferrous metals.

Zinga offers a wide product range:

Film Galvanising System
Sprays
Sealers on ZINGA
Topcoats on ZINGA
Solvents

Galvanic, cathodic protection, or active protection, arises from zinc (the anode) sacrificing itself in favour of the base metal -steel (the cathode) with the resulting flow of electrons preventing steel corrosion.

In this way the protection of the metal is guaranteed, even when the zinc layer is slightlydamaged. Other well-established methods of cathodic protection include hot-dip galvanising (HDG) and zinc thermal spraying; however both of this exhibits a constant sacrificial rate of the zinc layer.

With ZINGA, the sacrificial rate reduces dramatically after the zinc layer has oxidised and the natural porosity has been filled with zinc salts. Additionally the zinc particles within the ZINGA layer are protected by the organic binder without adversely affecting the electrical conductivity. This enables ZINGA to create nearly the same galvanic potential between the zinc and the steel as hot dip galvanising but with a lower rate of zinc loss because, put simply, the binder acts as a “corrosioninhibitor” to the zinc.

When building large infrastructures, buildings, dams, bridges and airports the focus is towards technology that is durable, environmentally friendly as well as cost competitive. Structural steel galvanising is the best method to preserve to protect steel from ravages of corrosion. As it ensures maximal duration of longevity it ultimately benefits everyone.

By adopting the right technologicalsolution like Zinga to the hazards of corrosion it extends the usefulness of equipment.

Galvanizing Alternative from the ZINGA Film Galvanising System is a single pack coating that contains 96% pure zinc in the dry film and provides cathodic protection of ferrous metals.

About Zinga:

ZINGA Film Galvanising System can be used as a unique galvanising system as an alternative to hot- dip galvanisation or metallisation, as primer in a duplex system (active + passive 2k or powder topcoats) or as a recharging system for hot-dip galvanisation, metallisation or zinganised surfaces.

Zinga can be applied by spray, brush or roller on to a clean and rough substrate in a wide range of atmospheric circumstances. ZINGA is also available as an aerosol “Zingaspray” ideal for touch up.
