This report considers in detail the uses of, corrosion resistance of, and application of, zinc filled inorganic coatings. Environments in which these coatings were exposed and evaluated include water and moisture, acids, oxidizing agents, alkalies, and solvents and oils. Properties of applied coatings considered include temperature limitations, impact and abrasion resistance, aging, toxicity and odor, weight, electrical properties, adhesion and gloss retention. Matters discussed in connection with application include coverage, flammability and toxicity, surface preparation, drying time, curing, baking, inspection and compatibility.
Total material cost for zinc filled inorganic coating systems ranged from eight to ten cents per square foot. 5.4.2
