Ganicin is a new industrial product line that includes zinc-containing
urethane and epoxy primers that are designed to be highly
corrosion-resistant. The first product being released is Ganicin 2.8
ZR-U™, a polyurethane primer produced from organic, solvent-based
technology that is formulated to provide excellent corrosion protection
at 2.8 lbs/gal volatile organic compound (VOC) level. It can be spray
applied and also used as a touch-up (spot repair) on organic or
inorganic zinc-rich coatings.
“Axalta scientists have developed a new line of zinc-containing products
to broaden Axalta’s industrial primer product portfolio,” said Ross
Morgan, Axalta General Industrial Product Manager, North America. “The
new Ganicin 2.8 ZR-U primer has been formulated to offer maximum
corrosion protection when used over steel surfaces.” Ganicin 2.8 ZR-U is
ideal for use under Axalta Corlar® epoxy primers or Imron®
urethane primers to help deliver exceptional corrosion protection for
customers in highly corrosive environments and in market segments such
as new construction, fabrication, shipping containers and amusement
parks.
Axalta plans to introduce several new premium quality Ganicin products
into the industrial market throughout 2015, including a moisture-cured
primer and a zinc-rich epoxy primer. For more information, visit our
