ZINGA is a one component zinc rich coating or Film Galvanising System containing 96% zinc (dust) in its dry film. It is a metallic coating and not a paint. The purity of the zinc used, is so high that dry ZINGA does not contain any toxic elements.

Industries and Applications

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.

ZINGA was originally invented at the University of Ghent (UGent), Belgium, in the 1970s and has since been used in a wide variety of projects throughout the world.

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. For example it does not “skin over” in the tin because ZINGA has an unlimited pot-life and it doesn’t go “tacky” like a paint.

Characteristic and Advantage

1. Easy to apply on-site
2. Quick-drying time
3. Does not peel off and is not brittle
4. Recharging
5. Can be top-coated
6. Fire retardant properties
7. Weld

Quality Qualification

As a consequence of ZINGA ‘s performance (proven by testing), ZINGA has been approved for use by governments, companies, and armies. The most important include:
