This is achieved by pure zinc (not less than 92% zinc or crushed at least 88% atomized) and particle size of zinc (not more than 12-15 microns (um) minced or 3-5 micron atomized). In the dry layer ZINGA contained 96% (!) Atomized zinc purity 99.995%! This provides the most effective cathodic protection, comparable only with the best of traditional – hot dip galvanized. It should be noted that the hot galvanizing product does not protect a layer of pure zinc, but only a non-uniform alloy "zinc-iron" with a maximum zinc content – 98%. Any cathodic protection works as long as there is not consumed (oxidized), the entire zinc. Membrane protection should protect the surface from contact with moisture and oxygen atmosphere, which successfully makes ZINGA. The mechanism of formation of such the film is simple – ZINGA (thick fluid) immediately after application to the steel and the evaporation of volatile substances becomes porous (loose) structure. After 48 hours of zinc particles in contact with oxygen to oxidize and turn into salt zinc, which fill the pores and with the polymer formed on the surface of the dry layer is very strong film. This film protects the steel even when cathodic protection is not working.
The process of forming a protective film (Oxidation) begins with the surface and penetrates to a certain depth. The more moisture during drying – the thicker layer. Under the film is a layer of pure zinc. Adhesion (adhesion of the coating with the protected surface) have always ZINGA has a high score due to the small size of zinc particles, and their oval shape and a binder. Even if mechanical damage does not peel off a layer of zinc and steel in this place does not rust – oxidized zinc, which surrounds damage. This effect is called the "penetrating defense." Validity of the protective coating ZINGAkolebletsya from 20 to 50 years, depending on the aggressiveness of the medium and the thickness of the zinc layer.
