70-40 Zinc Paste

Long term corrosion protection

MADE IN GERMANY

70-40 Zinc Paste Metaflux

  • MATTE FINISH: cold galvanization
  • Color: matte gray
  • Dry sheet zinc: 96% (+/- 1%)
  • Zinc purity: 98.5 – 99%
  • Temperature resistance: up to +800°C [+1,472°F]

ALSO AVAILABLE IN AEROSOL.

As the inventor of the “Vrac” galvanization recognized worldwide since 1955, Metaflux’s Zinc Paste is a high-quality coating ensuring cathodic anti-corrosion protection for metal surfaces exposed to extreme weather conditions. In 1975, a new aerosol concept was introduced to the market, allowing conclusive and reliable coverage of steel with liquid metals that exceeded all international standards.

Sometimes, galvanized parts exit the bath at temperatures around 450°C to 480°C, showing bright and dark areas. This doesn’t indicate poor galvanization but may require touch-ups. Metaflux’s Zinc Paste facilitates easy touch-ups with a brush directly out of the bath, on still hot pieces. It offers the same benefits as conventional galvanization and can be used as a standalone coating or overlaid.

Continuously innovative, Metaflux is the only company offering two formats of its Zinc Paste: 500 grams (70-4050) and 1 kg with an integrated brush (70-4002). This variety in formats reflects Metaflux’s commitment to providing flexible solutions tailored to the diverse needs of its users.

FEATURES:

  • Made of 99% pure zinc ensuring lasting protection.
  • Approximately 96% pure zinc in the dry sheet.
  • Highly resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and impact.
  • Resistant to salt, saline water, acid rain, and heat.
  • Applies like paint and can be applied in a thick layer over a large surface.
  • No zinc settling in the pot; easy and homogeneous mixing.
  • Temperature resistance up to 800°C.
  • Metaflux’s Zinc Paste is distilled to eliminate lead.
  • Waterproof, adhesive, and highly resistant.
  • Recommended and used for long-term protection in military and civilian installations, even in the most extreme climates in the UK.
  • Contains very little solvent.
  • Flash point 23°C.
  • Specific gravity 2.85 g/ml.
  • Oxidizing drying, without capillary cracking.
  • Weather-resistant.
  • Offers dual protection to steel, acting as both a barrier and galvanic protection.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

The choice of surface preparation and cleaning before application is as important, if not more important, than the coating itself.
Mix well: ideally with a mixer free of any greasy substances or other contaminants for 5 minutes * do not shake the product *
It’s essential that the surface is free of oil, dust, grease, or other contaminants.
Recommendations: Metaflux’s Zinc Paste can be painted; however, an adhesion test on a small part of the piece is recommended due to the multitude of paint brands available.

Can be applied on the previously cleaned old galvanization layer.
Sandblasting, if necessary, for structural components to remove rust and/or scale.

  • Recommendation: If needed, apply a thin layer with a brush to fill cavities, bolts, plates, and edges.
  • Acts as a protective barrier and repair on the used surface.
  • In case of applying two coats (depending on thickness and humidity), we recommend an interval of 2 – 4 hours.
  • Can also be applied in a thick layer up to 150μm.
  • Surface humidity should not exceed 90%.

Attention: For informational purposes, atmospheric conditions can affect drying time.

For touch-ups and repairs, application is usually done with a brush and roller.

For spray application:
Recommended nozzle 0.38 mm = ^ 0.1482 / 0.43 mm = ^0.1677
Spray angle between 50°C and 60°C
Nozzle pressure at 2800 psi (200 kg/cm2)
Use solvent not exceeding 10%.
Viscosity 320 mPAS
USES: Metal manufacturing plants – Cooling towers – Stair ramps – Safety rails – Steel structures – Guardrails – Signage – Roads and Bridges – Maritime Industry – Petrochemical facilities – Aerospace – Water treatment plants – Construction – Antenna Towers and many more.

Immersion: 2 Hours

·Keep the container tightly closed in a dry place between 5°C and 20°C.
·Protect from heat exceeding 35°C, avoid direct sunlight.
Shelf life:

Zinc paste METAFLUX

Since 1955 Metaflux represents worldwide the maximum expression of aerosol and pastes metallic coating technology with the lowest possible environmental contamination. Metaflux was the first company in the world to produce zinc in an aerosol. Pure zinc, aluminum, copper, and brass in suspension provide compelling quality coatings exceeding all international standards. 99% pure zinc in aerosol or paste suspension represents the best available long-term metallic protection against corrosion ever.

Since 1975 Metaflux metallic coating spray cans work all the time with no purging necessary. Manufacturing units with more than 40 years of experience and an annual production capacity of 60 to 70 million aerosols, Metaflux are actively involved in maintenance and quality improvement. The METAFLUX program includes more than 50 aerosols of its own design and from year to year new references are added. For any new development, three fundamental principles are put forward by METAFLUX:

• The search for the best technical quality

• Provide the user with minimal inconvenience in occupational hygiene

• The search for maximum protection for the environment

Strict adherence to these three principles ensures that METAFLUX aerosols will always have their place on the international scene among the most advanced products.
