ZincTape

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
The product is a high-purity zinc tape (99.99% zinc) with a nominal thickness of 0.080 mm, accompanied by a 0.025 mm thick adhesive layer. This adhesive can withstand continuous temperatures of up to 80°C and is electro-conductive. The tape is protected by siliconised paper until application and is available in rolls of various widths and lengths or in custom shapes.

Specifications:
  • Zinc purity: 99.99%
  • Nominal thickness: 0.080 mm
  • Adhesive thickness: 0.025 mm
  • Temperature resistance: 80°C

Applications:
ZincTape is designed for corrosion protection of iron, steel, aluminum, and light metals by acting as a galvanic anode. It is used in various sectors:
  • Automotive: Protection of window borders, chassis, roofs, and hinges.
  • Containers: Protection of hot-spots like bolts and hinges in aggressive atmospheres.
  • Petrochemical and Industrial: Coating for pipes, sea platforms, tanks, and other structures exposed to corrosive environments.

Technical Features:
  • Homogeneous and isotropic microstructure prevents local corrosive attacks.
  • Electro-conductive adhesive with zinc granules ensures continuous metallic contact.
  • Provides both passive and active corrosion protection.

Recommendations:
  • Apply zinc tape to the nobler metal in contact to prevent corrosion.
  • In cases of uncertainty about electrolytic potentials, cover both surfaces with zinc tape.

Visual Demonstrations:
Images illustrate the application of ZincTape on various surfaces, highlighting its role as a sacrificial anode and its effectiveness in preventing corrosion over time.

ZincTape -2

The product The product consists of a zinc-tape of high pureness (99,99% of the chemical mass of zinc) with a nominal thickness of 0,080 mm. This tape is supplied with a 0.025 mm thick adhesive, which can resist continuous operating temperature of 80 C and which reacts under electro-conductive pressure. The adhesive layer is covered by a siliconised paper, which protects the band from getting damaged or polluted until the tape is applied. The product is available in two forms: A) in rolls, whose width and length are shown in the table below > in shapes, based on the clientВs needs > 10 15 20...

ZincTape -5

Coupling steel - light alloy The point of contact between light alloys and iron materials can be subjected to corrosion. When these two materials get in both electrical and electrolytic contact, a galvanic process begins. The electrolytic contact arises when a solution (usually rain-water) seeps between the two surfaces. This contact can even be caused by signs of dampness between the two surfaces or by a chemical non- homogeneity of one of the two surfaces because of the presence of oxides, dirt, etc. Since the electrochemical potentials of steel and iron materials are more electropositive than...
