Description

What is Zinga?

Zinga is a single-component film galvanising system not a paint. It deposits a zinc-rich coating that provides cathodic (sacrificial) protection to steel and iron, working the same way as hot-dip galvanising but applied cold, on-site, to new or existing structures.

How It Works

With 96% zinc in the dry film, Zinga acts as a sacrificial anode: the zinc corrodes preferentially, protecting the underlying steel even when the coating is scratched or damaged. This self-healing action means the steel remains protected at cut edges, welds, and abrasion points without reapplication.

Key Benefits

Cathodic protection active zinc defence, not just a barrier coating
Self-healing protects exposed steel at damaged areas automatically
Single-component no mixing, no pot life concerns
No primer required apply directly to prepared steel
Weldable & cuttable steel can be worked after application without losing protection
Overcoatable compatible with topcoats including Zinga Aluminium Paint for enhanced UV and chemical resistance
Touch-up of hot-dip galvanising ideal for repairing damaged or cut galvanised surfaces

Applications

Structural steel beams, columns, frames, and fabrications
Pipelines above-ground, buried, and subsea
Marine structures jetties, pontoons, offshore equipment
Bridges, tanks, and storage vessels
Maintenance and repair of existing galvanised coatings
Welds and cut edges on galvanised steel

Application Methods

Zinga can be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray. Surface preparation to Sa 2.5 (near-white blast cleaning) is recommended for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection. Apply in conditions between 5C and 40C with relative humidity below 85%.
