一、What is "zinc-rich powder"?

  • "Zinc-rich powder" refers to a type of anti-corrosion powder coating that contains a high proportion of metallic zinc powder.

二、Why add zinc powder?

  • Zinc is preferentially corroded: a dense oxide zinc film is formed
  • Steel is protected: extending service life
  • Zinc powder can form a shielding layer structure within the coating, preventing corrosive media such as water, oxygen and salt from penetrating

三、Classification of zinc-rich powder coatings

四、The application of zinc-rich powder in powder coatings

  • Marine engineering equipment
  • Bridge and port facilities
  • The pipes and the outer walls of the storage tanks
  • Heavy-duty anti-corrosion industrial equipment

五、Formula and Performance Characteristics

  • Main components: epoxy resin + curing agent + zinc powder + additives
  • Appearance: Gray or silver-gray
  • Film layer characteristics:High conductivity、Excellent anti-corrosion performance

六、Matters need attention

  • The zinc powder should have good dispersibility to prevent settling and agglomeration
  • The spraying equipment needs to be protected against wear and tear because the zinc powder particles are quite hard
  • Store in a moisture-proof environment to prevent the zinc powder from oxidizing and deteriorating https://www.lekamaterial.com/ https://lekamaterial.en.alibaba.com/
