Bio Zinc

Bio Zinc is an alloy comprising Zinc, Aluminium and a proprietary additive. This composition enhances its resistance to corrosion and improves its mechanical properties compared to pure Zinc. In highly corrosive environments, Bio Zinc outperforms standard Zinc-Aluminium alloys due to the synergistic effects of its balanced formulation. It provides a significant improvement over standard Zn85/Al15 in terms of durability, resistance to microbial attack, and mechanical integrity, making it ideal for demanding arc and flame thermal spraying applications where pure zinc is insufficient.

Features

Enhanced Mechanical Strength

Engineered for durability, Bio Zinc offers superior tensile strength and wear resistance, thanks to its unique alloy composition. The result is a coating that not only withstands harsh physical and chemical conditions but also maintains flexibility and structural integrity under stress.

Built for Extreme Environments

Bio Zinc is purpose-built for aggressive and microbial-prone zones where conventional coatings fall short. Whether it’s coastal infrastructure, industrial equipment, or heavy-duty steel structures, Bio Zinc ensures longer service life and reliable protection in the most challenging conditions.

Unmatched Corrosion Resistance

Bio Zinc redefines protection standards by combining zinc, aluminium, and a proprietary third element that enhances barrier properties and minimizes coating porosity. This advanced formulation ensures exceptional performance, even in marine, industrial, and high-humidity environments, far exceeding the longevity of traditional pure zinc and Zn85/Al15 coatings.

Optimized Sprayability and Adhesion

Designed for seamless application in arc and flame thermal spraying, Bio Zinc delivers excellent spray consistency, coating density, and adhesion on diverse substrates. Its refined particle structure ensures smooth feed in arc spray systems and forms a uniform, high-density protective layer with minimal roughness.

Applications

Structural Steelwork

Bridges and Large Steel Structures

Bio Zinc is suitable for protecting steel girders, trusses and other structural components of bridges, especially in aggressive environments (marine, industrial) where corrosion is severe. Metallized zinc/Zn-Al coatings are already used for long-term protection of bridges.

Offshore, Marine & Port Infrastructure

Ships, piers, offshore platforms, jetties and marine installations are among the harshest in terms of salt spray, humidity, and corrosion. Bio Zinc serves as a high-end protective coating for such installations, improving lifecycle and reducing maintenance downtime.

Oil & Gas / Petrochemical Facilities

Pipelines, storage tanks, offshore rigs and other steel structures in petrochemical or oil & gas facilities are exposed to corrosive chemical environments (chlorides, acids, chlorinated species). Bio Zinc can be used to protect structural steel and piping in such installations.

Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants

Bio Zinc may be used on ductile iron pipes, valve bodies, manhole covers, pump station enclosures and reinforced concrete surfaces (as sacrificial or metallized layers) to resist soil corrosion, microbial attack and aggressive water chemistry.

Energy / Power Infrastructure

Towers, pylons, and components in wind farms and electric transmission lines require corrosion protection. Bio Zinc could be applied to turbine hubs, tower segments, tower cross-arms, and lattice structures under high exposure. Zn-Al coatings are already used in these contexts.

Transportation, Rail & Road Assets

Signposts, guardrails, crash barriers, railway overhead structures, and highway steel bridges or supports are constantly exposed to the elements, de-icing salts, and pollutants. Bio Zinc coatings could be applied to extend service life and reduce maintenance for such infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bio Zinc offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength compared to standard Zn85/Al15 or Galvalume coatings. Its unique composition of 84% Zinc, 15% Aluminium, and 1% proprietary additives delivers longer protection, reduced porosity, and enhanced resistance to microbial corrosion — ideal for marine, industrial, and coastal environments.

Yes. Bio Zinc is 100% environmentally safe and free from lead, cadmium, and other hazardous metals. It’s fully recyclable with steel and minimizes maintenance frequency, helping industries reduce their carbon footprint and lifecycle costs. This makes it a sustainable alternative to conventional zinc coatings.

Absolutely. Bio Zinc is a high-performance alternative to traditional galvanizing and zinc metallizing methods. It offers better adhesion, smoother sprayability, and higher coating density, making it perfect for large steel structures, bridges, and equipment that cannot be easily galvanized. It provides long-term corrosion protection even in harsh environments.

For best results, the steel surface should be clean, dry, and grit-blasted to SA 2.5 standards before coating. Bio Zinc’s excellent adhesion and sprayability ensure uniform coverage on both flat and complex surfaces, reducing roughness and improving bond strength and coating life.

Bio Zinc maintains exceptional durability and adhesion under extreme temperature changes. Its aluminium content improves oxidation resistance, while the proprietary additive prevents cracking or peeling during thermal expansion cycles. This makes it ideal for outdoor, marine, energy, and industrial applications exposed to heat or humidity.
