The ZINQCOAT® technology has its origins in the original formulation developed in 1954 exclusively for use by NATO military forces. It became available for commercial use in the early 2000s.
ZINQCOAT Technology
Active zinc protection, engineered for the field.
A proven zinc-rich technology that recharges the protection of new, galvanized and corrosion-damaged steel directly on site.
04 / ZQThe technology
From a 1954 military formulation to global infrastructure.
The ZINQCOAT® technology enables on-site zinc recharging of new or used structures that have been damaged by rust or corrosion.
The ZINQCOAT® technology offers the same performance as hot-dip galvanization.

How it protects
Electrochemical protection—not only a passive barrier.
ZINQCOAT acts as an active coupling with steel. The zinc layer sacrifices itself first, helping protect the underlying steel and restore cathodic performance in the same range as hot-dip galvanization or metallization.

The benefits of ZINQCOAT technology
Twelve performance advantages.
One field-ready system.
Acts as an active coupling with steel and creates an electrochemical bond that provides active protection (mV) in the same range as hot-dip galvanization or metallization.
Provides genuine active and sacrificial protection, similar to hot-dip galvanization.
Exposure to temperatures ranging from -62°C to +120°C (-80°F to +250°F).
Dries in humidity without restriction of the dew point.
No substrate distortion effects compared to hot-dip galvanization.
Weldable.
Fast drying.
High flexibility.
Can be coated with most paints, including powder coatings.
Successfully tested for toxicity under fire.
The zinc thickness can be controlled during or after application, with additional layers if needed.
Extra-fine atomized pure zinc (purity of 99.995%) enables higher zinc density and a high-performing anode.
