Cathodic protection, even for damaged galvanised parts.
Zinc based coating with excellent adhesion to metal surfaces. The high zinc content is sacrificed during the corrosion process and so provides a galvanic protection of the treated metal. The dry coating contains a maximum amount of zinc (purity 98%), ensuring a self-healing effect when the coating gets scratched. The dry coating is matt and has an excellent surface structure to be painted.

CRC ZINC contains over 90% high-purity zinc in the dry film, creating an effective protective barrier against rust. Its advanced formulation ensures strong adhesion to steel and ferrous metals, making it ideal for both preventive and remedial anti-corrosion treatments.
Reliable Coverage and Fast CuringWith a coverage area of approximately 1.5 m2 per 400 ml can, CRC ZINC is both economical and efficient. It dries to the touch within 15 minutes, allowing for rapid progress on projects. The matte grey finish blends seamlessly with most metal surfaces for discreet repairs.
Exceptional Durability and ResistanceEngineered to resist weathering and salt spray, CRC ZINC maintains its integrity in harsh environments. Rated for continuous temperatures up to 550C and boasting a 3-year shelf life (unopened), it offers enduring performance for industrial, marine, and automotive settings.
FAQ's of CRC ZINC:
Q: How should CRC ZINC aerosol spray be applied for best results?
A: For optimal protection, thoroughly clean and dry the metal surface before application. Shake the can well, then spray evenly at a distance of 20-30 cm. Apply several thin coats for maximum coverage and zinc protection, allowing each coat to become touch dry before reapplication.
Q: What is CRC ZINC commonly used for?
A: CRC ZINC is primarily used as an anti-corrosive coating for steel surfaces. It is ideal for repairing, touching up, or protecting welded joints, pipes, structural steel, and machinery-particularly in environments exposed to moisture, salt, or high temperatures.
Q: When does CRC ZINC become touch dry and fully cured?
A: CRC ZINC becomes touch dry in approximately 15 minutes under normal conditions. While it offers initial protection once dry, for full corrosion resistance, allow at least 24 hours for the coating to fully cure before exposing the treated area to severe conditions.
Q: Where can CRC ZINC be utilized?
A: CRC ZINC can be used indoors or outdoors, in industrial plants, automotive workshops, marine environments, construction sites, or any place requiring robust metal protection. Its high temperature resistance and weatherproof properties make it especially useful for harsh and exposed locations.
Q: What is the process for storing CRC ZINC to maintain its shelf life?
A: To ensure the maximum shelf life of three years, store the can upright in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed and avoid puncturing or incinerating the can even when empty.
Q: What benefits does CRC ZINC offer compared to conventional paints?
A: Unlike regular paints, CRC ZINC provides cathodic protection due to its high zinc content. This ensures the underlying metal is safeguarded against rust even if the coating becomes scratched or damaged, offering longer-lasting defense in demanding settings.
