I am starting a new thread regarding a product called Zinga which is 97% zinc, I am looking for input from people that have experience with this product as I am thinking of becoming a supplier of Zinga zinc paint if it is as good as they claim.

I have a whack of PDF files on this product but I'm too dumb to upload them from my iPhone, I will have to wait a few days till I get parked in front of my home computer.

Just wrote you a reply on the other thread will use this one in the future. One other thought from what you inferred it can be welded through are you saying that it may act like weld through primer if so our troubles are over, coat this stuff on all sides and weld where needed and touch up after it is all together. I sure hope this stuff is as good as it seems at this point. Best Skip
 
I just talked to my friend and he says best application is by brush or mini roller then when it's dry you can spray on two thin coats 15 minutes apart before a heavy coat when using urethane paints. He thinks it's better then por15, which I like also but this stuff may be better.

It just keep getting better doesn't it. Hopefully I will get a reply from the gentleman tomorrow, Zinga California. So if I understand you correctly if you want to top coat this product after your last sprayed coat wait 15 minutes then top it with a catalytic primer so they are compatible. For my application that has to be a for sure. I will be getting that info from the source hopefully.
 
I like the sounds of this stuff too. Only concern is how are we able to get it down into the crevices of the frame and crossmember. That's the only reason I wanted to do the dip so it would coat everything. If there was an hose attachment type for a spray can like Eastwood has it would be perfect.
 
How smooth does it go on?
As in how nice of a final finish will it give after painting it with a finish top coat?

I don't mean on the frame but if it was used for other parts that showed.

Cheers, Allen
 
I saw it painted on a couple of 6" pipes and it look like the same texture as when you use spray bomb primer. I think it will too coat very nicely

Flybyu: I know when you dip it it will go absolutely everywhere, I was quoted about $600 to dip the frame but it would have been 2 ferry trips at $120 each way twice, cause I would have to bring it there and after a week pick it up. That's my problem of living on a island but not everyone is faced with this. I wonder how a Shutz gun with a longer flexible hose would do inside the boxed portion of the frame? Who cares what it looks like inside as long as it cover everything and you can smooth it out with a brush like I did with por15 when I painted the inside of my frame. This product needs more input from people that have actually used it, just need to find them.

Here's the link to the REAL homepage. http://www.zinga-uk.com/product-range. It shows several products including spray cans, thinner, and other products which I'm just now reading about. The US homepage is the distributors lame attempt at a site. It's not even showing the products.

I asked in email about a sample paint can (12 oz) from the CA distributor as well today. We will see what he says about all this sudden interest.
 
Hmmm - this sounds interesting:

ZINGACERAM ZM PU
This is a very hard-wearing and UV-resistant two pack acrylate-polyurethane topcoat that has been pigmented with ceramic particles to prevent erosion of the surface from wind-blown sand and dust particles.

It dries to a medium gloss level and imparts very tough adhesion characteristics whilst maintaining an excellent modulus of elasticity, which makes it an ideal finish for structures like offshore wind turbines.

In conjunction with Zinga and our Zingaceram EP MIO primer-sealer it was used to coat steelwork of the Olympic structures in London, the system was given an expected service-life of 60 years to first major maintenance.

Zingaceram ZM PU is available in 4 Litre tins and the full range of RAL colours.

Crap, this sounds incredible too. Both of these are too much for a truck, but man, you'd never have to paint it again. It'd be great for the rear floor bed.

AQUAZINGA
Aqua_Zinga_Binder_Powder.jpg

Aquazinga is a two-pack, 100%water-based anti-corrosion system. It is based on inorganic zinc silicates and, with its high zinc content (92% in the dry film), it provides cathodic protection to ferrous metals. Aquazinga is highly resistant to abrasion and is designed to withstand corrosive environments and severe conditions, including high temperatures (up to 600 degreesC). As a stand-alone system, it can be used as an alternative to hot-dip galvanising and metallisation. It can also be used as a primer under high-heat paints. Typical uses forAquazinga include ballast tanks, turbine exhausts and high-heat pipelines.

Aquazinga is available in 5kg an 25kg tins and cures to a matt grey finish.

Aquazinga:

  • Works in constant temperatures up to 600 degrees C.
  • Is highly resistant to abrasion.
  • Is highly resistant to steam and other hot gases.
  • Is highly resistant to hydrocarbons.
  • Offers high tolerance to thermal shock.
  • Offers high tolerance to mechanical shock.
  • Has a high level of conductivity.
  • Has a Ph range of 5.5 to 12.5.
  • Works in tandem with sacrificial anodes.
  • Can be overcoated with a wide range of compatible sealers and topcoats.

Here is the reply from Zinga California I received, it is getting us closer to the answers we need it is sounding better I have cut and paste the correspondence today, sounding better as we go.

Hi Skip,

Thank you again for the email.

Topic 1... You would want to have ZINGA in contact with the bare metal, otherwise you wouldn't get any cathodic protection. If you could provide exactly what type of automotive paint you are using, I can answer the question regarding top coats specifically.

Here are some general guidelines...

Topcoats to avoid using in conjunction with ZINGA include all alkyd-based enamels, which must never be applied over any zinc based coatings. This is because the zinc reacts with the alkyd and causes saponification which allows the paint to dry but to never harden and cure.

High-build vinyls as well as acrylated and chlorinated-rubber enamels are extremely high in solvent content, so the use of a sealer is mandatory with these coatings. ZINGA recommends the use of water-based topcoats to complement the environmentally friendly properties of ZINGA. Alufer N is widely used to seal the ZINGA prior to the application of topcoats.

It should be noted that cellulose lacquers cannot be applied directly onto Zinga, as the esters they contain will attack the binder. 2K automotive primers must be applied onto the Zinga layer beforehand, and then virtually any topcoats can be used.

Topic 2... ZINGA is weldable. ZINGA coated steel can be MIG or arc welded to x-ray standard, with no porosity in the welds.

For purchase, right now everything is purchased through our corporate offices in Buffalo, NY.

Here is a link to the sizes that are available:

A price sheet is attached.

Thank you for reaching out to ZINGA USA.

Please let me know how we can be of further assistance.
