Why Architects Specify ZRC’s Galvanized Paint for Superior Corrosion Prevention

When designing structures, architects must prioritize corrosion prevention in their spec sheets to ensure the longevity and durability of metal components. Corrosion can compromise structural integrity, leading to costly repairs, safety risks, and shortened lifespans for critical infrastructure. By specifying effective corrosion prevention solutions, architects not only protect their designs from environmental damage but also meet industry standards and client expectations for reliable, long-lasting performance. 

Not all products will deliver the results you’re looking for. Specifying a high-quality cold galvanizing compound is crucial for achieving the best possible corrosion protection. Including proven products like ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compound in your spec sheets ensures optimal prevention of corrosion​ and reinforces your commitment to quality and sustainability. ZRC delivers more reliable and durable performance, ensuring that metal structures remain intact and corrosion-free for an extended period. That is why so many architects specify ZRC by name in their spec sheets.

The Advanced Formulation Behind ZRC’s Industry-Leading Galvanized Paint

ZRC’s advanced formulation is designed to meet the exacting standards of architects specifying corrosion prevention compounds in their spec sheets. Its superior blend of high-purity zinc dust and innovative resin technology provides unmatched corrosion protection and durability. With a higher zinc content than competing products, ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compounds offer enhanced sacrificial protection to prevent rust and significantly extend the lifespan of metal surfaces. The unique resin system ensures exceptional adhesion and flexibility while resisting environmental stressors like UV exposure and moisture. This cutting-edge formulation makes ZRC the ideal choice for architects seeking reliable, long-lasting solutions for even the most demanding design conditions.

High Zinc Content

ZRC’s high zinc content is a key factor in delivering exceptional corrosion protection. Zinc's sacrificial properties are central to its effectiveness; it corrodes before the underlying metal, thus preserving the structural integrity of the base material. 

By utilizing a high concentration of pure zinc dust, ZRC ensures a more robust protective layer that offers superior resistance to rust and degradation. This elevated zinc content enhances the compound's ability to create a dense, protective coating that shields the metal from moisture and corrosive elements, thereby extending the lifespan of the structure and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This commitment to high-quality zinc underscores ZRC’s dedication to providing reliable, long-lasting corrosion solutions.

Suggested Specification Verbiage for Specifying ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compound by Name

“Organic Zinc-Rich coating containing 95% metallic zinc, by weight in the dried film; recognized under the Component Program of Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. as an equivalent to hot-dip galvanizing; conforming to Federal Specification DOD-P-21035A (formally MIL-P- 21035A) for repair of hot-dip galvanizing and meeting the requirements of Military Specification MIL-P-26915A USAF Specification for Zinc-Rich Paints; as manufactured by ZRC Worldwide, Marshfield, MA or other facility having been registered to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001 standard for quality; or approved equal.”
