ZINGASPRAY
Zingaspray offers the film galvanising system ZINGA in an aerosol spray for easy small applications. ZINGA
contains 96% Zinc in the dry film and provides cathodic protection to ferrous metals. Zingaspray is ideal for the
repairing and touching-up of damaged or old hot-dipped, Zinganised or other zinc coated structures.

CONDITIONS
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface preparation - Zingaspray can be applied on ferro-metals and damaged zinc surfaces.
- For optimal performance, the metal should first be degreased, preferably
by steam-cleaning. Alternatively, the surface can be degreased using solvent
(e.g. Zingasolv), but never use white spirit.
- For optimal performance, clean to SA 2,5 (ISO 8501:2007). For non-critical
(small) areas, cleaning to St 3 is sufficient.
Roughness - Zingaspray should be applied on a metal substrate that has a roughness
grade of fine to medium G (Rz 50 to 70 µm) according to the standard
ISO 8503-2:2012.
- This can be obtained by grit-blasting (with sharp particles) but not by
shot-blasting (with spherical particles). Make sure that the surface is
degreased before the grit-blasting.
- This high degree of roughness is not needed when Zingaspray is applied on
a hot-dip galvanisation or a metallisation layer, or when it is applied on top of
an existing ZINGA layer. Make sure Zinc salts are removed from the surface
to ensure a good electrochemical connection between the two layers.
Old hot-dipped surfaces have adequate roughness, new hot-dipped surfaces
require a sweep blast.
- For small, non-critical areas, roughness can be obtained by using a steel
wire brush.
Maximum time to application Apply the ZINGA as soon as possible on the prepared metal substrate (max.
4 hours waiting time). If contamination occurs before coating, the surface
must be cleaned again as described above.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS DURING APPLICATION
Ambient temperature - Minimum 5°C
- Maximum 35°C
Relative humidity - Maximum 90%
- Do not apply on a damp or wet surface
Surface temperature - Minimum 3°C above the dew point.
- No visual presence of water of ice
- Maximum 60°C
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Shaking Zingaspray must be shaken thoroughly before application. Shake the can
vigorously for minimum 30 seconds after liberating the balls. Repeat this
every time the can is not used for some time.
Application Keep the spray between 10 and 20 cm away from the substrate and move
in a continuous speed from left to right. Repeat with a spray application from
top to bottom.

OTHER INFORMATION
COVERAGE AND CONSUMPTION
Theoretical coverage For 40 μm DFT: 4,22 m²/L
Theoretical consumption For 40 µm DFT: 0,24 L/m²
Practical coverage and Depends upon the roughness profile of the substrate and the application
consumption method
DRYING PROCESS AND OVERCOATING
Drying process ZINGA dries by evaporation of the solvent. The drying process is influenced
by the total WFT, the ambient air (humidity and temperature) and the steel
surface temperatures.
Drying time For 40 μm DFT at 20°C in a well-ventilated environment:
»» Touch dry: 15 minutes
»» Dry to handle: 1 hours
»» Fully cured: 48 hours
Overcoating Always apply 2 layers, apply the second coat 1 hour after
with a new layer of ZINGA touch dry.
Maximum overcoat time depends on environmental conditions. If zinc salts
have formed, they should first be removed.
Reliquidisation Each new layer of ZINGA reliquidises the former ZINGA layer so that both
layers form one homogeneous layer.
Therefore, Zinganised structures can be reloaded with ZINGA (Zingaspray)
after the Zinc layer has depleted due to cathodic protection.
For surface preparation on old Zinganised surfaces, contact a Zingametall
representative or see document ‘ZINGA on (old) HDG’.

Overcoating ZINGA can be overcoated with a wide range of compatible paints. It is howe-
with a compatible paint ver, just like all Zinc rich systems sensitive to influence of solvents. In order
to avoid blistering, pinholes and other defects (which will negatively affect the
performance of the ZINGA layer), it is advised to apply any topcoat
with a mist/full coat technique. First, a thin continuous layer is
applied which gives air bubbles easy passage through the film. The first mist
coat also provides a barrier for aggressive solvents in the topcoat.
Mist coat:
- Application at least 6 hours after ZINGA is touch-dry.
- 25 to 30 μm DFT (continuous layer).
- Normal dilution according to the technical data sheet of topcoat.
Full coat:
- Application at least 2 hours after the mist coat is touch-dry.
- Specified layer thickness minus 25 to 30 μm DFT (of mist coat).
- Normal dilution according to the technical data sheet.
To avoid any problems with application of topcoats, we advise the use of
a sealer. Zingametall offers two compatible sealers which have been tested
according ISO 12944:
Zingalufer (PU sealer) and Zingaceram HS (EP sealer).
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Unique system Zingaspray is advised for touch-up (HDG, metallisation or on ZINGA) and
application on small areas only.
It should be applied in two layers.
For more specific and detailed recommendations concerning the application of Zingaspray, please contact the
Zingametall representative.
