We Answer on Your Questions
What can Zincoat be used for?
To provide corrosion protection for steel structures that lasts as long as Hot Dipped Galvanising
How important is preparing the surface prior to painting?
Performing surface preparation to spec is crucial to successful coating application. Zincoat is no exception and the equivalent of a Class 2.5 blast or equivalent is usually optimal (see Surface Preparation Summary Table on the Technical Data page). Where blasting is not possible or practical, there can be some room for other forms of preparation. Contact Zincoat Pty Ltd for support
Are all steel surfaces treatable with Zincoat?
Yes, and so is Hot Dipped Galvanising - both new and aged.
How is Zincoat environmentally responsible?
Zincoat ages both by electrolytic consumption and by gradually eroding, shedding zinc - a natural component of soil. Also it only requires cleaning and the application of a single coat of fresh Zincoat for rejuvenation. This can happen as many times as the structure life requires, and without the need for environmentally challenging abrasive blasting.

How safe is Zincoat to use?
How is Zincoat packaged.
Zincoat is packaged into a heavy duty. 5 kgs/10 kgs metal paint pail with a reusable metal ring around the lid.
Is Zincoat cost effective?
The speed and ease of application usually means a significant reduction in project duration, with immediate cost savings, and the durability of the cured film in most applications is superior to traditional coating systems. Along with the reversible binder allowing indefinite rejuvenation, the life-cycle cost benefits are considerable.
