Zinga is a one-component anti-corrosion zinc coating system that provides cathodic protection to steel comparable with hot-dip galvanising, with the added advantage that it can be applied as though it were a paint, and is certified to not spread flame or create smoke (BS476 parts 6&7).
Zinga is a one-component anti-corrosion zinc coating system that provides cathodic protection to steel comparable with hot-dip galvanising, with the added advantage that it can be applied as though it were a paint.
The system can be used on marine structures, new steel and galvanising, old or worn galvanising, cast iron and aluminium alloys, applied in two or three layers to obtain a maximum thickness (DFT) of 120 to 180 µm, depending on the specification - check the relevant data sheets for more details and specific application details for substrates.
Use Zinga as an alternative to hot-dip galvanisation or metallisation, as primer in a duplex system (active + passive) or as a recharging system for hot-dip galvanisation, metallisation or zinganised surfaces. Apply by brushing, rolling or spraying on clean and rough substrates; the broad range of allowable application conditions that Zinga affords means that very few days are lost during projects due to poor weather. Also available as a spray aerosol.
It cannot be stressed strongly enough that the key to Zinga's long life is in the thorough preparation of the steel substrate to the correct specification. Please always follow the appropriate Zinga UK specification in conjunction with the relevant Technical Data Sheets found in the "Attachments" section above - or contact our technical team on 0113 2455450.
The following information will give a general guide to the coating and its application:
Marine structures
Old or Worn Galvanising, Thermally Sprayed Zinc (TSZ) or Old Zinga
New Steel
New Galvanised Steel
Cast-Iron
Aluminium Alloys
Note 1: The term "high pressure" means a minimum water-pressure of 10,000psi. Any pressures below this level will not totally remove engrained chlorides.
Note 2: The grit used on all structural steelwork must comply with 50µm and 80µm depending on the type of application). The chosen grit should always be able to achieve a blast roughness of 12.5 to 15 microns. It should be noted that UHP Blasting does not create a profile and should therefore never be used as the sole means of surface preparation. UHPAB is an excellent form of blast-cleaning for marine structures as it removes all crustacean growth, scale, engrained chlorides and invisible contaminants.
Once thoroughly mixed, Zinga can be applied by using a normal paintbrush, a short-fibre roller (not for the first coat) or a conventional or airless spray-gun. When applying Zinga by spraying it must only be thinned with Zingasolv. Please read the appropriate Data Sheet for thinning information.
Zinga can be applied in a wide variety of weather conditions. The application surface temperature range is from -15C to +60C where conditions allow with a maximum humidity of 95% so long as there is 3C minimum between the steel temperature and the dew point. Like all coatings the substrate surface should be free from all types of contamination.

 steve on 2022-11-12 12:46:18 | Question: can Zinga be overcoated with an epoxy coating.e.g.west epoxy for added protection in marine environment. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: No, this is not designed to be overpainted. | |
| Michael on 2022-10-31 10:05:30 | Question: Can this be used on vans and does the paint have to go to metal |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product should be applied to metals blasted to SA2.5 prior to application. | |
