Zinc paste is used in the automotive industry as an indispensable rust protection. Also in the tuning area are the paste or that zinc spray popular. Zinc paints are also used to achieve rust protection on suitable surfaces. Where zinc paints, sprays and pastes are often used in the car and tuning sector, this is explained below.

Zinc pastes and zinc sprays

Zinc has special properties and is used in the automotive industry as rust protection. Zinc is available for the tuning and automotive industry in the form of pastes, sprays and various other colors. The rust protection is used on the car on suitable surfaces. Zinc pastes are also under one Powder coating .

What are the advantages of zinc paste?

Zinc is a good corrosion agent and is therefore used in the form of pastes, sprays and zinc paints as corrosion protection. the pastes can be used in the hobby area as well as in the automotive industry. Zinc is also used for refining in many industries. The construction industry and other industrial sectors also use zinc. If zinc is used for finishing, then there is also talk of surface galvanizing. Zinc products are used to prepare for a powder coating. Zinc paste is usually used with an epoxy resin base. Thanks to the epoxy resin base, the zinc coating is very resistant and well protected against mechanical loads, salt and environmental influences.

Where is zinc paste used in the car?

Zinc pastes and zinc sprays are used on the exhaust, for example, to provide corrosion protection. The products are also used for reworking the body. Damaged surface galvanizing can be touched up with zinc pastes, zinc sprays or zinc paints. Correct use is of course particularly important. Zinc pastes and other zinc products must be used optimally in order to provide protection against corrosion. Zinc sprays and zinc pastes can, for example, be purchased in the colors glossy silver and matt gray. Before applying a zinc product, the surface of the car area to be treated should be thoroughly cleaned. Old paint residues, if any, should be removed. Is coarse rust, such as rust, present, this should be brushed off. If there is still grease or oil in the area to be applied, these must also be removed.

Use corrosion protection correctly

1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be treated (brush off old paint residues / coarse rust, remove oils / greases with a cleaner)
2. Always apply zinc paste only to cleaned and dry surfaces
3. Stir corrosion protection thoroughly before use
4. Apply zinc paste evenly and richly to the corresponding surface
5. Then let the coating dry for approx. 7 minutes
6. then apply 2 to 3 more coats
7. alternatively use zinc spray (easier to handle)

Zinc products should therefore only be applied to cleaned and well-dried surfaces. Zinc pastes should be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. As a rule, the products must be applied evenly in a certain thickness. The coating often has to dry for a while before additional layers can be applied. If you don't want to use zinc pastes, you can also choose alternatives, such as zinc sprays. Zinc sprays are easy to handle and can be sprayed evenly onto a surface. Zinc paste - conclusion: Zinc pastes and other zinc-based products are used as corrosion protection in the automotive industry and in the tuning area. The products can be repaired on damaged surface galvanizing. The products are also used in the exhaust area as rust protection.
