For more than 40 years, ZINGA has been produced and commercialized by Zingametall in Belgium. Over the years, it has gained technical expertise and extensive knowledge in the complex field that is galvanic or cathodic protection. In numerous field tests, project applications, and – most importantly – standardized testing, ZINGA has proven to provide active, long lasting, and sustainable galvanic protection to steel structures in more than 120 countries. ZINGA contains 96% of atomised zinc in its dry layer, it is environmental friendly, non-toxic and has an unlimited shelf life. ZINGAMETALL offers anti corrosion solutions to onshore & offshore industries, in construction, steel, mining, energy, water, oil & gas, public works, grid, railway, automotive, transport, cement, pulp & paper, ports & harbours, ... ZINGA is a one component Film Galvanizing System containing 96% zinc (particles) in its dry film. It is a metallic coating and not a paint offering an active cathodic protection. The purity of the zinc used is so high that dry ZINGA does not contain any toxic elements (99.995% pure atomized zinc powder). The zinc in ZINGA (anode) sacrifices itself to protect the steel in a comparable way as hot-dip galvanizing (HDG). Upon impact, the electron flow resulting from a potential difference between the ZINGA and the steel will prevent the steel from corroding. As the ZINGA oxidizes, a layer of zinc salts slowly builds up on the ZINGA surface, closing the film and enhancing the barrier effect. In simpler terms: the ZINGA corrodes so the steel structure will not ! The use of ZINGA for the protection of steel structures will avoid a lot of maintenance, transport and save shut-down time and costs. |
