CRC Zinc It 350g - Quick-Drying, Tough Coating

CRC Zinc It offers the same advantages as hot-dip galvanising by forming a highly-protective coating with 95% highest purity zinc on bare steel or iron surfaces. It is ideal for repairing damaged galvanised surfaces or as a convenient and easy-to-apply alternative if hot-dip galvanising is not available. The zinc particles fuse directly to clean metal and form an electro-chemical bond that – due to sacrificial anodisation of zinc – stops rust and rust creepage, even when scratched, abraded or dented. The quick-drying, tough coating is resistant to salt corrosion, water and heat and makes CRC Zinc It the premium product if long-term protection in harsh conditions and highly corrosive environments is required.

CRC Zinc It provides excellent cover and is capable to be applied as a heavy film for extra protection without forming runs. Delivered from a unique aerosol system giving a smooth even coat. Ongoing protection can be achieved through simple re-coating within 6 years, depending on conditions. Protection in extreme conditions may require re-application more frequently. CRC Zinc It can act as a finish coat on clean iron, steel and their welds. Top-coating CRC Zinc It with another product of CRC’s Zinc Coating Range provides extra protection and a selection of bright metallic or coloured gloss finishes – the ultimate choice for your application. If other colours are required, CRC Zinc It can be top-coated with most standard decorative paint systems for metals.

How to use CRC Zinc It

Preparation:

1. Loose rust and scale must be removed with a wire brush or similar
2. Remove grease and oil with CRC Brakleen or a similar degreaser
3. Where possible, abrade the surface with a grinding disc, wire brush, or sandpaper

Application:

1. Shake the can until the agitator ball is moving freely, and then for at least one further minute to ensure the content is thoroughly mixed
2. Apply to a clean, dry surface with light, even coats to ensure perfect results
3. Hold the can 15-20cm from the surface when spraying
4. Apply in 2-3 light coats rather than 1 heavy one to avoid runs
5. When finished spraying, clean the valve by turning the can upside down and pressing the button until only pressure escapes. If clogging occurs, remove the button, clean the slot and orifice with a wire and replace carefully

Drying and recoating:

1. The coating will become touch-dry in 10-20 minutes. Full cure will take 24 hours
2. If a top coat is required, use CRC Prime It over CRC Zinc It before applying the decorative top coat
3. Contents of the can will cover 2.0m²
