Epoxy Zinc rich coating is used to protect steel surfaces from corrosion. It is one
of the more effective means of sealing critical equipments from moisture,
protecting it from rust and corrosion. Zinc will self-destruct to protect the
steel substrate, which will become the cathode. The resistance to corrosion is
dependent on the transfer of galvanic current by the zinc primer, but as long
as the system conductivity is maintained and there is enough zinc to act as an
anode, the steel will be galvanically protected.

Application & Preparation of Zinc Rich Coating
The zinc rich coating is completely ready for use with a brush, roller, or spray gun. Solvents
can be used to dilute the material if necessary. Prior to using, mix Zinc-rich
coating in the container with a drill mixer-paddle to a homogeneous condition. A
zinc-rich coating can be applied to
a worked surface with a brush, roller, spray gun, or by dipping.
The working
composition is applied to a clean and degreased surface no later than 12 hours
if the metalwork was done outside, and 48 hours if the metalwork was done
inside. Regardless of the method used to apply the composition to a prepared
surface, hard-to-reach welds and areas should be painted with a brush first
before applying the composition with painting equipment.
Applying with a brush
The brush
should be with natural bristles, and free of dust and other contaminants. There
is no need to dilute Zinc rich coating with a solvent in standard conditions.
Applying with a roller
The roller should be made of a material
resistant to organic solvents, and free of contaminants nd earlier used VPM.
There is no need to dilute Zinc-rich coating with a solvent in standard
conditions.
Applying with an air
spray gun
Contaminants
and previously used VPM should be removed from the equipment. If needed, Zinc-rich
coating is diluted with solvent or xylene to 5% of weight.
Precautions to Take Applying Epoxy Zinc Rich Coating
·
The
construction and curing required maintaining adequate ventilation.
·
Premature
exposure to rain or condensation in the state, affecting colour and lustre.
·
Heat
resistance: resistance to dry heat up to 200 °C.
·
Weather
resistance: When there is no separate outer protective coating, some chalking
and yellowing may occur.
·
Chemical
resistance: resistant to most alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and
solvent spills and overflows; not directly used in the acidic environment of
use; if no suitable overcoat Do not use strong alkaline environment; when a
suitable overcoat when neutral salts, basic salt resistance is excellent.
·
Wear
resistance: completely cured after a good wear resistance.
·
Compatibility:
polyurethane-based coating can be used with good support.
