New Zinc-Rich Epoxy Primer and Moisture-Cured Zinc-Rich
Polyurethane Primer
To help provide maximum corrosion protection for steel surfaces
in harsh industrial environments, Axalta Coating Systems, a leading
global manufacturer of liquid and powder coatings, introduces two
new Ganicin™ organic zinc-rich primers: Ganicin 2.8 MC-U™
moisture-cured zinc-rich polyurethane primer and Ganicin 2.8 ZR-E™
zinc-rich epoxy primer.
Ganicin 2.8 MC-U is formulated with Axalta’s polyurethane
technology to deliver outstanding corrosion resistance for steel
surfaces, especially when used with Axalta’s Corlar® or Imron®
polyurethane primers. This 2.8 lbs/gallon volatile organic
compounds (VOC) primer is intended for use on carbon steel
substrates.
Developed with Axalta’s epoxy amine technology, Ganicin 2.8 ZR-E
is a 2.8 lbs/gallon VOC zinc-rich organic epoxy primer. It is
formulated to be a high performance primer with excellent adhesion
and outstanding solvent and chemical resistance.
Ganicin coatings are Axalta’s newest industrial primer product
line that includes zinc-rich polyurethane, epoxy and moisture-cured
primers which conform to SSPC-20 Class 1 definitions for zinc-rich
products containing 85% zinc in the dry film. They are formulated
to be highly corrosion-resistant.
The Ganicin brand of products was introduced earlier this year
with a zinc-rich polyurethane, Ganicin ZR-U. “Axalta is expanding
our industrial product line to better serve market segments that
require very high levels of corrosion and chemical resistance such
as industrial maintenance, chemical plants, refineries and waste
treatment facilities,” said Michael Cash, President of Axalta’s
Industrial Coatings business. “The addition of these latest Ganicin
products demonstrates Axalta’s commitment to deliver a
comprehensive coating system that includes zinc, epoxy, and
polyurethane products that will help protect and extend the life of
equipment in harsh corrosive environments.”
