Zinc-o-fix

Zinc-o-fix is a self-adhesive zinc tape with an electrically conductive adhesive.
This corrosion protection tape is an innovative technology that provides active cathodic protection. Active protection is provided by the sacrificial action of the zinc tape with high purity zinc content (>99.95%). Thanks to the electrically conductive adhesive, which provides a reliable electrical connection between the metal surface and the zinc, the tape acts as a sacrificial galvanic anode.

Tape structure

High purity zinc strip (>99.95% zinc chemical mass)
Nominal thickness - 0.08 mm.
Glue (adhesive) thickness 0,025 ÷ 0,40 mm
Siliconized paper.

Special advantages

Provides active and passive protection.
Does not require cathodic protection costs.
Suitable for use in sea and fresh water.
Requires minimal surface preparation. Protected surface does not need anti-corrosion maintenance for 15-20 years.
Easy to paint and putty.
Withstands long-term operating temperatures up to +80°C (briefly up to +120°C).
Provides 100% protection against sunlight, water vapor, snow, frost, acid rain and chemical vapors.
Much more durable than hot or cold galvanized coatings.
Easy to apply.
