Understanding The Zinga Galvanising Paint

  Zinga is a unique form of corrosion protection because it provides both Active and Passive protection in a form that's as easy to apply as a paint. BUT, Zinga is not a paint! Zinga is an active zinc performance coating which works in conjunction with the metal beneath whereas paints are only passive barriers. Regardless of how thick paints are applied, they remain as barriers. Once they are breached corrosion sets in immediately. Despite this significant difference Zinga is still often mistaken for a paint simply because it's liquid and comes in a tin. But there are other more subtle differences. Zinga is very rich in zinc (in fact it's 96% dry zinc), and offers the same kind of galvanic protection as hot-dipping but applied in ambient temperatures by brushing, rolling or spraying. Being not a paint but a metallic coating, it has an unlimited pot life, and doesn't skin over or go tacky like paint. ZINGA has one of the fastest drying times in the coating industry. T...
