Why wont SZS No Rust allow “Rust Creepage”
SZS No Rust Zinc’s unique binder allows our ultra pure zinc dust particles to contact the metal surface it is to protect. Therefore galvanic action takes place. Tests indicate that some brands have their zinc and allowing rust to creep under the paint film. Therefore as with other types of paint, these zinc coatings will only give “skin” protection…
How does a Zinc Coating Prevent Corrosion?
Zinc Coating protect steel from corrosion in two ways.
Zinc coating becomes a barrier for the corrosion substance to reach to the base metal under the zinc coating.
The layer of Zinc sacrifice itself and gives anodic protection to the surface where the metal(steel) is exposed to the atmosphere…
What is Galvanic Action?
In the presence of moisture, the zinc dust particles become an anode(+) and the underlying substrate becomes the cathode(-). Corrosion attacks the zinc, leaving the metal substrate untouched. Zinc bing higher in the electro-motive series that iron or steel, is more susceptible to corrosive attack, Thus in the presence of an electrolyte (moisture) zinc will preferentially sacrifice itself…
