Epoxy zinc rich primers belong to the family of zinc rich coatings that are applied to protect ferrous surfaces from corrosion. These primarily work as sacrificial cathodic protection products. Because zinc is anodic to steel, these particles corrode first, protecting the ferrous substrate beneath the primer from corrosion.
Introducing our Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer, a high-performance metal paint that combines the corrosion protection properties of zinc with the durability and adhesion of epoxy resin.
Our Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer is formulated with a high concentration of zinc dust or zinc powder, along with epoxy resins and additives. This unique composition provides excellent corrosion resistance to metal surfaces, particularly in harsh environments where corrosion is a significant concern.
The zinc particles in the primer act as sacrificial anodes, protecting the underlying metal from corrosion by corroding preferentially. The epoxy resin forms a strong bond with the metal substrate, creating a durable and protective coating.
Our Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer is commonly used in industries such as marine, offshore, and industrial applications, where corrosion protection is crucial. It is ideal for steel structures, pipelines, tanks, and other metal surfaces exposed to aggressive environments, including saltwater, chemicals, or high humidity.
To ensure optimal performance, proper surface preparation is essential, including cleaning, degreasing, and roughening the metal surface. The primer can be applied using various methods, such as brush, roller, or spray. Multiple coats may be required for the desired level of corrosion protection.
For enhanced protection and improved aesthetics, our Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer can be top-coated with additional layers of epoxy or other compatible coatings.
