ZIPCOAT –
Fast and Effective Protection Against Corrosion
For environments where speed of application and quick return to service are of paramount
importance, Zipcoat provides a cost effective and durable solution.

Zipcoat forms part of Corrocoat’s Polyglass range of high performance protective coatings, offering
an environmentally sound maintenance solution for a wide range of applications.

These include: protection of structural steelwork in aggressive atmospheric conditions, marine


superstructures, decks, helidecks and immersion conditions such as ships’ hulls, ballast tanks and
piling.

Zipcoat is a multi-monomer isophthalic polyester, loaded with micro glassflake. The product is normally applied as a
single coat system, replacing the traditional primer, intermediate and top coat system. However, Zipcoat can be applied
in multiple coats where required.

Zipcoat is designed for spray application using standard airless spray equipment or plural component equipment.
The material has excellent hand application characteristics.

Low VOC emissions guarantee reduced environmental impact in line with developing legislation.

Zipcoat in Use

At 20°C:–

• Zipcoat has a pot life of approximately 65 minutes, and is generally tack free in less than two hours
• Zipcoat may be put into many service environments once tack-free
Performance and Durability
Zipcoat’s key benefits include excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion attack, fast application
rates, single coat application and quick turnaround times, combined with excellent life cycle costs. In
addition, the material offers good edge coverage, eliminating the need for stripe coating in many cases.

Additional benefits include:–


• Long working pot life • Ease of application
• Fast cure and short tack-free times • Low VOC emissions
• Good mechanical properties • Excellent UV resistance

Zipcoat is applied to steel prepared to Class 2.5 standard, at thicknesses from 350 to 650 microns dft in a single coat.
In some immersion conditions, it may be necessary for higher film thicknesses, and Zipcoat may be applied up to 1200
microns dft in two coats.

Special Applications

• Zipcoat will cure at sub zero temperatures


• Zipcoat can be applied at temperatures as high as 45°C (a pot life extender is available for application at
high ambient temperatures)
• Zipcoat’s thixotropic properties offer excellent edge coverage when spray applied, often eliminating the
need for stripe coating

Cosmetic Properties

Zipcoat offers a good cosmetic finish and is available in off white and light grey as standard. Other colours are
available on request (subject to quantity and availability).
