ZD96-1 Cold Spray Zinc
Standard type · ≥96% Zn
A single-component, high-solids heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating composed of a binding agent, zinc powder and solvents. It deposits a zinc layer with a metallic zinc content above 96% at ambient temperature, giving steel the same sacrificial protection as hot-dip galvanizing without the deformation, transport and plant outage.
Key features
- Metallic zinc content ≥96% in the dry film — full sacrificial (cathodic) protection
- Single component, ready to use, no mixing ratio to get wrong on site
- Cures at ambient temperature; no thermal deformation of the steel
- Excellent adhesion and recoatability; damaged areas are repairable in place
- Can be left as a single coat or overcoated with a full heavy-duty system

Surface preparation
New steel: remove grease with a suitable cleaner and wash off salts with fresh water. Remove weld spatter, grind welds and sharp edges. Abrasive blast to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1), surface profile Rz 40–75 µm (ISO 8503-1). Prime within 4 hours of blasting.
Repair of galvanized surfaces: degrease thoroughly, high-pressure fresh-water wash to remove salts, power-tool abrade local rust, then apply this product.
Coating systems
| Preceding coat | Applied directly to steel blast-cleaned to Sa 2.5 or power-tool cleaned to St 3, or onto hot-dip galvanized / thermal-sprayed zinc surfaces. |
|---|---|
| Consequent coat | metallic sealer, silver topcoat, ZD83-02 zinc-aluminium, zinc-aluminium coating. |
