ALCON ZINC SPRAY (MSDS)
 

ALCON ZINC SPRAY (TDS)
 

ALCON ® ZINC Spray

Provides ultra-long-lasting corrosion protection for metal parts requiring a medium-gray coating rich in permanent zinc. Ideal for components that cannot be galvanized through hot-dip processes.

Can also be used to repair the surface of damaged or restored galvanized components before welding or other mechanical operations.

Product Features

• 92% Zinc-Rich Dry Film Coating: Provides sacrificial cathodic protection to ferrous metals.
• Self-Healing Mechanism: Scratches are resealed through the formation of zinc oxides and carbonates.
• Unique Flexibility and Hardness Combination: Highly resistant to peeling, flaking, and abrasion.
• Outstanding Water Resistance: Features a tough, polymeric zinc-rich film.
• High-Performance Coating or Primer: Contains pure zinc, synthetic resin, and additives.
• Non-Toxic Formulation: Free from lead and chromates.
• Excellent Repair for Galvanized Surfaces: Adheres well to metal surfaces.

Application Instructions

1. For best results, apply to a clean, oil-free, and dry surface.
2. Remove any remaining rust and scale using a wire brush or abrasive method.
   • Avoid rust removers based on phosphoric acid, as they leave an electrically insulating film that disrupts galvanic protection.
3. Clean the area to be treated with a residue-free solvent cleaner, ensuring the solvent fully evaporates before proceeding.
4. Shake the can vigorously for 2 minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle, and shake frequently during use.
5. Hold the can upright and spray from a distance of 15-30 cm.
6. Apply light, even coats.
   • For best results, apply 2 light coats 15-20 minutes apart instead of a single heavy coat.
7. Additional layers can be applied at 15-20 minute intervals.
8. After use, clean the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for 3-5 seconds until only propellant comes out.

• Touch Dry: 15 minutes at 20°C
