British Board of Agrément (BBA) (United Kingdom)

BBA certificate nr. 03/4047

BBA certificate nr. 03/4047

After thorough evaluation (effect on water quality, fire propagation, surface spread of flame, welding, resistance to abrasion, weathering, etc.) ZINGA received the approval from the BBA, which is the UK's major approval body for new construction products and installers. The BBA, in collaboration with SGS Coating Services, carries out regular inspections of the manufacturing process of ZINGA. This includes all the procedures involved with the production and the control of the delivered raw materials as well as of the quality of the final product. Traceability of the delivered product is assured by means of a specimen of each production batch.

Acceptance by Engineers India Limited (India)

Acceptance by 'Engineers India Limited'

Acceptance by 'Engineers India Limited'

Based on reports, test certificates from independent European and Chinese test organisations combined with other information documents, the ‘Engineers India Limited’ sees ZINGA as an effective protective coating system in various corrosive environments.
They state that ZINGA would be a 'better replacement' for inorganic zinc silicates and hot dip galvanisation.

"EIL (Engineers India Limited) is working under the administrative control of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG), Government of India. EIL today has emerged as Asia’s leading design, engineering and turnkey contracting company providing a complete range of project services."

Ballast Tank Test - Det Norske Veritas (DNV) (Norway)

Ballast tank test

ZINGA® was applied on blast-cleaned test panels that were placed in a ballast tank filled with sea water with wave movement and cyclic heating. Other test panels were placed in a condensation chamber. No corrosion of the steel substrate could be demonstrated. Based on the results of the testing, ZINGA meets the requirements of a B3 classification. In the report is stated that ZINGA has a beneficial corrosion protective performance.

BNF Fulmer Research Centre (United Kingdom)

Electrochemical tests on ZINGA in comparison to hot-dip

The open circuit voltage and galvanic current between the galvanising layers and the bare steel were measured. The potential of the coupled electrodes on both specimens always remained below -800 mV, which is well within the potentials required for the galvanic protection of steel. The conclusion of the report is that ZINGA offers galvanic protection to steel comparable to that offered by hot-dip galvanisation. In other words : a layer of ZINGA is a completely metallic layer exactly like a hot-dip galvanising layer, and will behave as such in all aspects. Moreover, this test demonstrated that the corrosion rate of ZINGA is 1/3 of the corrosion rate of hot-dip galvanising under similar conditions.

Field test on the efficiency of ZINGA in comparison with hot-dip on sea buoys

Field test on the efficiency of ZINGA in comparison with hot-dip on sea buoys

Two buoys (one treated with ZINGA, the other one hot-dip galvanised) have been floating in the Atlantic Ocean for four years. After those four years, the buoy treated with ZINGA showed no trace of rust while the hot-dip galvanised buoy was severely corroded in several places.

Rebar Corrosion Protection - Jadavpur University (India)

Different tests on the efficiency of ZINGA in comparison with other coatings on rebars

A comparison was made between uncoated steel (Mild steel and Stainless steel) rebars, fusion bonded epoxy coated rebars (FBEC), hot-dip galvanised rebars (HDG) and zinganised rebars (ZINGA). The salt spray test pointed out that the zinganised rebars have a corrosion resistance that is about 2 times higher than that of hot-dip galvanised rebars. ZINGA is also least susceptible for stress corrosion cracking.

Rebar Corrosion Protection - Steel Authority of India (India)

Measurement of corrosion rate by salt spray and immersion tests

A comparison was made between uncoated steel rebars, fusion bonded epoxy coated rebars (FBEC), hot-dip galvanised rebars (HDG) and zinganised rebars (ZINGA). The corrosion rate per year was measured after immersion and salt spray. This test demonstrated several advantages of ZINGA: the greater degree of galvanic protection, the lower sacrificial zinc consumption due to the dispersion of zinc dust in the binder and the additional barrier protection created by the binder.⇒ ZINGA ⇒ FBEC ⇒ HDG ⇒ Uncoated
