ZES 85 is 2K moisture curing inorganic zinc ethyl silicate coating. It is a fast curing, very high zinc dust containing product. It provides heat resistant up to 540 °C in full system and continuous temperature up to 400 °C as standalone coating. It is suitable for properly prepared carbon steel substrates only.
ZES 85 is recommended for structural steel and piping to be exposed to highly corrosive environments, C5I or C5M (ISO 12944-2). Suitable for offshore environments, refineries, power plants, bridges, buildings and mining equipment and provides extended durability.
