ZINQCOAT Film Galvanising Systems
A correct galvanic coating
Single-component organic zinc compound,
- ZINQCOAT® contains 96% pure zinc in the dry film,
- ZINQCOAT-HD® contains 88% pure zinc in the dry film,
- Uses 99.995% purity, extra fine and atomized zinc particles,
- Offers exactly the same cathodic performance as traditional hot-dip galvanizing.

Active Cathodic Protection and Barrier Protection
- Active Bonding: Opens the surface pores to form an unbreakable electrochemical bond,
- Sacrificial Anode Effect: The high-density zinc layer corrodes first in order to protect the underlying steel,
- Anti-Spread Formula: Stops rust from spreading underneath when the surface is scratched or damaged.
Designed for Harsh Conditions
- Thermal Threshold: Maintains its stability at temperatures between -62°C and +120°C,
- Chemical Resistance: High resistance to petroleum products, diesel, gasoline and hydraulic oils,
- Performance in Salty Environments: Successfully passes demanding ASTM B117 salt spray tests without any blistering,
- Superior Flexibility: High plasticity (ASTM D522) allows the steel to bend or expand without cracking in the coating.
Infinite Life Cycle Management for Steel
- Zinc Renewal: Integrates directly with old zinc layers to restore the original sacrificial anode properties,
- Ideal for Hot-Dip Repair: Used to flawlessly repair worn hot-dip galvanized structures,
- Does Not Peel or Flake: New layers chemically re-liquefy old ZINQCOAT® layers to form a single mass,
- Zero Metal Deformation: Restores protection on site without the warping caused by the heat of the hot-dip process.
Designed for Fast Industrial Installation
- No Pot Life Limitation: Ready-to-use single mixture eliminates component waste or hardening in the can,
- Environmental Tolerance: The moisture-curing formula applies smoothly without strict dew point restrictions,
- Fast Process: Short drying time allows teams to process and scale structures within the same day,
- No recoat time required,
- Full cure / Hand touch,
- Versatile Application Methods: Applied by brush, roller or standard airless spraying.
Compliant with Standards and Ready for Construction
- Certified Weldability: Coated steel (up to 40 µm) can be welded directly without compromising weld integrity,
- Low VOC Profile: Compliant with strict global environmental regulations on volatile organic compounds,
- ZINQCOAT®: VOC 340gr/Lt,
- ZINQCOAT-HD®: VOC 285gr/Lt,
- Standard Finish: Offered in a matching color, matte industrial zinc gray option,
- ZINQCOAT®: RAL 7001,
- ZINQCOAT-HD®: RAL 7005,
- Topcoat Compatibility: Can be safely topcoated with most epoxies and polyurethanes.
Simple Preparation for Years of Adhesion
- Surface Standards: Requires a commercial-grade blast profile (Sa2.5) for optimum performance,
- Rust Tolerance: Can be applied over tightly adhered rust layer; must be free from loose dust and flash rust residues,
- Decontamination: The surface must be completely free from grease, oils, cutting fluids and salts,
- Solvent Heating: Use only the recommended technical thinners; never use standard mineral spirit (synthetic thinner) in their place.
