Knuchel BRICAZINC Zinc Dust Paint

BRICAZINC is a high-percentage, weatherproof zinc dust paint and provides lasting long-term protection against rust and corrosion. A compact film of 92 % zinc and 7.5 % epoxy ester resin and additives is produced with one application. The excellent protection of BRICAZINC zinc dust paint is based on the electrochemical process in which the iron and the less noble metal (zinc) form a cathodic protection, which prevents the substrate from rusting even in case of mechanical damage. BRICAZINC offers high heat resistance (300°C), underwater suitability and effective protection in humid atmospheres.

Field of application
For sandblasted iron and steel such as metal constructions, bridges, vehicle bodies, as spot welding paint or as underwater coating.

Processing
The substrate must be clean, dry and free of rust and grease. Sand-blasted surfaces (SA 2 1/2) are the best guarantee for a good durability of the coating. Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C.

Coating structure
1 x BRICAZINC zinc dust paint Can be painted over with all systems such as synthetic resin or nitro paints as well as 2-component paints. Due to the high zinc content, BRICAZINC requires an appropriate intermediate primer for most systems.

Dry film thickness

• 40 my as conventional anti-corrosion primer with subsequent top coat
• 80 my as sole corrosion protection with free weathering

Drying
♦ Dust dry after 20 minutes
♦ Griffest after 1 hour
♦ Recoatable after 12 hours (depending on temperature, humidity and film thickness)
