ZRC® Zero VOC - Revolutionary Water Based, Battleship Gray, Flat Finish, Gallon Kit

Combining the best features of organic and inorganic zinc coatings, ZRC® Zero-VOC Galvanizing Compound is water-based and environmentally friendly — and different from other products of its kind with the same quality protection guarantee.

ZRC Zero-VOC Galvanizing Compound
 

ZRC ZERO VOC solves the problems inherent in traditional inorganic zinc coatings like: near-white sandblasting, difficult spraying, and short pot life. We’ve resolved these issues by creating a unique hybrid featuring the best features of organic and traditional inorganic zinc coatings. ZRC ZERO VOC offers the same true cathodic protection as our original ZRC, without volatile organic content, solvents, or solvent fumes.

Recommended Uses

With its unique formulation, ​​ZRC Zero VOC Cold Galvanizing Compounds are excellent for use in VOC-restricted areas. ZRC Zero VOC may be used without a topcoat in place of hot-dip galvanizing. Also used as a high-performance base coat with a variety of topcoats. It’s specially formulated for:
 

• Hot-Dip Galvanizing Repair & Regalvanizing - It’s a flexible option for repair of worn hot-dip galvanized materials.
• Weldments Repair - Our original compound can be used to repair weldments.
• Inorganic Zinc Coatings Repair - ZRC is also effective for inorganic zinc coatings repair.
• Galvalume® and Zinc Metallizing - ZRC 221 can be used for Galvalume® and zinc metalizing projects.
• Long-Term Protection - It’s proven to be effective long-term protection for: structural steel, water and waste facilities, power plants, transmission towers and antennae, steel decking and bridges, and numerous OEM uses.
