ZRC Cold Galvanizing

Zinc based coating products on the market that claim to provide rust protection are generally zinc rich paints that at best act as expensive barrier coatings. They do not provide the electro-chemical galvanic action which is the key to corrosion protection. To function anodically, the zinc particles must be in intimate contact with one another so that the film itself is conductive. Also the binder material must be such that it does not insulate the zinc particles from each other or from the base substrate (steel or iron) inhibiting galvanic action. This is achieved in the ZRC cold galvanizing compounds by the high zinc loading (95% by weight in the dry film) and proprietary binder. ZRC Cold Galvanizing products have been around for more than 50 years and are the only coatings that have been certified by the Underwriters Laboratories as an equivalent of hot dip galvanizing. Major projects around the world such as the ‘Peace Bridge’ over the Niagra River in N. America and the Aomori Cement Plant in Japan are proof of the trust and respect for ZRC cold galvanizing compounds.
