Zinc Clad II Ethyl Silicate, Inorganic

ZINC CLAD II ETHYL SILICATE is a solvent-based two-package, inorganic ethyl silicate, zinc-rich coating.

• Meets Class B requirements for Slip Coefficient and Creep Resistance, .56
• Meets AASHTO M-300 specification
• 85% zinc content in dry film
• Coating self-heals to resume protection if damaged
• Provides cathodic/sacrificial protection by the same

mechanism as galvanizing. Also protects steel by forming an inorganic moisture and solvent barrier

Recommended Usage

For use over properly prepared blasted steel.

• As a one-coat maintenance coating or as a permanent primer for severely corrosive environments (pH range 5-9)
• Economical replacement for galvanizing with similar performance
• Ideal for application at low temperatures or service at high temperatures and/or humidity conditions
• Water intake and discharge lines (non-potable)
• Where abrasion resistance and hardness is required
• Bridges, refineries, drilling rigs
• Shop or field application
• Not recommended for severe acid or alkali exposure
