Zinc Primer Range

A PPG Brand

Heavy-duty applications such as bridges, petrochemical plants and offshore assets require maximum protection, sometimes more than can be provided by conventional systems.

SigmaZinc offers a complete range of high- quality zinc primers that can be used as a primer in systems with epoxies and polyurethane topcoats.

Depending on the zinc level of the SigmaZinc product, the required performance protection of the asset can be obtained. The SigmaZinc range has a long track record, with proven, long-term performance in the most aggressive environments, such as offshore – where salt and humidity are inevitable.

SigmaZinc products can also be incorporated into coating systems that meet international standards such as ISO 12944 and NORSOK M501.
