Zinga Galvanised system

What is Zinga?

Zinga is a single-component film galvanising system — not a paint. It deposits a zinc-rich coating that provides cathodic (sacrificial) protection to steel and iron, working the same way as hot-dip galvanising but applied cold, on-site, to new or existing structures.

How It Works

With 96% zinc in the dry film, Zinga acts as a sacrificial anode: the zinc corrodes preferentially, protecting the underlying steel even when the coating is scratched or damaged. This self-healing action means the steel remains protected at cut edges, welds, and abrasion points — without reapplication.

Key Benefits

• Cathodic protection — active zinc defence, not just a barrier coating
• Self-healing — protects exposed steel at damaged areas automatically
• Single-component — no mixing, no pot life concerns
• No primer required — apply directly to prepared steel
• Weldable & cuttable — steel can be worked after application without losing protection
• Overcoatable — compatible with topcoats including Zinga Aluminium Paint for enhanced UV and chemical resistance
• Touch-up of hot-dip galvanising — ideal for repairing damaged or cut galvanised surfaces

Applications

• Structural steel — beams, columns, frames, and fabrications
• Pipelines — above-ground, buried, and subsea
• Marine structures — jetties, pontoons, offshore equipment
• Bridges, tanks, and storage vessels
• Maintenance and repair of existing galvanised coatings
• Welds and cut edges on galvanised steel

Application Methods

Zinga can be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray. Surface preparation to Sa 2.5 (near-white blast cleaning) is recommended for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection. Apply in conditions between 5°C and 40°C with relative humidity below 85%.

Available Sizes

Supplied in 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg, and 25kg containers to suit projects of all scales — from maintenance touch-ups to large structural applications.
