Silver Zinc is a fast drying, high solids, and high performance epoxy zinc rich coating designed to protect steel against corrosion and when exposed to severe corrosive environments, such as salt and water. Silver Zinc is ideal for all type of ferrous substrates.
The Silver Zinc impacts corrosion resistance via sacrificial protection. The product contains approximately 32% zinc in the dry film and at this level zinc to zinc contact is maintained and that the zinc is also in direct with iron. The essence of this configuration is that in the presence of moisture a galvanic cell is stimulated where zinc corrodes in preference to iron thus protecting iron from undergoing corrosion.
The other advantage of Silver Zinc is that the by-products of corrosion of zinc are oxides namely zinc oxide, zinc carbonate and zinc sulphate all of which are inert compounds that become deposited on the upper surface of the coating thus protecting the underlying zinc from further corrosion.
