ZINC DUST

Finely divided zinc metal used as a pigment in zinc-rich and zinc dust/zinc oxide protective coatings for iron and steel. 

ZINC-RICH COATING

Anti-corrosive primer for iron and steel incorporating zinc dust in a concentration sufficient to provide electrical conductivity in the dried film. This enables the zinc metal to corrode preferentially to the ferrous substrate, giving galvanic protection.
