Use and Types of Zinc Rich Primers in Sealing
A zinc rich primer finds major application in steel surfaces. These surfaces are protected from corrosion, moisture and rust. How are they made? Zinc primers are made from zinc-rich coatings. These primers contain high levels of zinc dust, which prevents ferrous surfaces like steel from corroding. This primer's primary feature is to provide sacrificial cathodic protective protection to the steel substrate. Zinc primers along with the Coal Tar Epoxy offer the same protection against corrosion as other epoxies and general paints. They use electricity to do the same. High humidity, high moisture, and high salinity environments, such as bridges, coastal plants, oil refineries, and other structures, can cause corrosion. Zinc-based primers are available. Types of Zinc Primers - Organic and Inorganic Organic Zinc Primers For the purpose of coating, organic zinc primers are made with Coal Tar Epoxy and urethane. These coatings are used in many industries, including constr...
