Zingaceram HS (Formerly Zingaceram EP MIO HS) is a high solid 2 pack intermediate coat to be applied as a sealer over Zinga by brush, roller or sprayer, with very good abrasion resistance and excellent corrosion protection properties. Its high solid (HS) content shows good compatibility on Zinga and has been used on both structural steelwork (for multi-million pound projects) and on sub-sea pipelines.

Features

• 2 pack system
• Seals Zinga
• Apply by brush, roller, conventional sprayer or by airless spraying
• High solid content & high chemical resistance
• Dry to handle in 6 hours; fully cured in 18 hours
• Temperature resistance of dry film: 95-100°C with peak up to 120°C
• pH resistance: 2,5 pH to 13 pH

Application

For more specific and detailed recommendations concerning application, please contact our technical team on 0113 2455450. For detailed information about the health and safety hazards and precautions for use, refer to the safety data sheet in the attachments tab above.

Brush or Roller

For optimal use, dilute Zingaceram up to 5% (v%) with HS Thinner

Use an industrial round brush or short hair roller (mohair)

Conventional Spray Gun

Dilution 10-15% (v%) with HS Thinner depending on nozzle size.

More dilution for same nozzle size will give a smoother surface finish; which will increase the abrasion resistance of the Zingaceram HS layer.

Pressure at the nozzle 2 to 3 bar for a structured aspect; higher pressure for a smoother aspect.

Nozzle opening 3 mm for a structured aspect; smaller (2.2 to 2.5 mm) for a smoother aspect.

Airless Sprayer

Dilution 0-5% (v%) with HS Thinner depending on nozzle size.

More dilution for same nozzle size will give a smoother surface finish.

• Pressure at the nozzle: 150-250 bar
• Pump ratio: 45/1
• Nozzle opening: 0.021 - 0.025 inch / 0.38 - 0.63 mm

For Application on Zinga

Mist (tie) coat

• Application at least 6 hours after ZINGA is touch dry.
• 25-30 μm DFT (Dry Film Thickness; to be measured above the peaks of the roughness profile)
• Diluted according to Data Sheet

Full coat

• 2 hours after touch dry of mist coat
• DFT = specified DFT - 25-30 µm DFT
• Diluted according to Data Sheet

Coverage

Theoretical coverage

• For 60 μm DFT: 13 m²/L
• For 120 μm DFT: 6.5 m²/L

Theoretical consumption

• For 60 μm DFT: 0.077 L/m²
• For 120 μm DFT: 0.15 L/m²

Drying Times

For 60 μm DFT at 20°C in a well-ventilated environment:

• Dust proof: 3 hours
• Dry to handle: 6 hours
• Fully cured: 18 hours
• Fully resistant: 7 days

Overcoating (with a topcoat)

• Overcoatable after minimum 8 hours after touch dry.
• Maximum overcoat time depends on environmental conditions. Maximum 3 days.
