Zinc-Rich Epoxy Primer Powder Coating
High-Performance Corrosion-Protection Primer for Steel and Galvanized Substrates
Zinc-Rich Epoxy Primer Powder Coating

GENESIS ZincoPrim is an advanced epoxy-based, zinc-rich powder coating engineered as a high-performance primer for phosphated, blasted, or galvanized steel substrates. It is formulated with high zinc loading to provide exceptional cathodic protection and anti-corrosive performance, making it the perfect foundation for architectural and industrial topcoats such as GENESIS MX, PP, PA, and PS systems.

Developed using GENESIS R&D expertise, ZincoPrim offers superior inter-coat adhesion, outstanding corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties — even under harsh environmental exposure or direct-gas-fired oven conditions.

KEY PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Exceptional Corrosion Protection

  • Zinc-rich epoxy formulation provides cathodic protection similar to galvanization.
  • Proven resistance in >2000 hours salt-spray tests (ASTM B117) when top-coated with GENESIS FACADE architectural polyesters.
  • Excellent performance in humidity and cyclic corrosion testing.

Superior Adhesion & Inter-Coat Bonding

  • Excellent adhesion to steel and galvanized steel.
  • Outstanding inter-coat adhesion with GENESIS topcoats, ensuring long-term durability and cohesive film integrity.

Wide Curing Window

  • Designed to perform reliably under various curing schedules.
  • Maintains strong bonding and film properties in direct gas-fired ovens and conventional curing lines.

Excellent Edge Coverage

  • Enhanced flow and levelling ensure uniform coverage on edges and weld seams, reducing under-film corrosion risk.

Exceptional Degassing & Smooth Film

  • Formulated with advanced degassing additives for perfect film appearance even on porous substrates.

High Mechanical Strength

  • Excellent impact and scratch resistance, providing a robust protective base layer.

Eco-Friendly & Solvent-Free

  • 100 % solid powder coating — no VOCs, no solvents, and minimal waste.

TYPICAL APPLICATION AREAS

  • Industrial machinery, construction, and agricultural equipment
  • Automotive components and under-body protection systems
  • Architectural and structural steelwork
  • Fencing, poles, railings, and outdoor furniture
  • Oil, gas, and marine structures requiring long-term corrosion protection

Key Advantages

  • Excellent low-friction surface – ensures smooth sliding between coated parts.
  • High anti-chip resistance – prevents edge or impact damage.
  • Superior abrasion and scratch resistance – extends coating life under stress.
  • Excellent stain and chemical resistance – resists common industrial contaminants.
  • High surface hardness – maintains finish integrity over prolonged use.
  • Improved surface smoothness – minimizes drag and wear.
  • Available finishes – smooth and textured versions for design flexibility.
  • Environmentally friendly – 100% solvent-free and VOC-free technology.

APPLICATION & CURING

  • Substrate Preparation:Phosphated or grit-blasted steel (Sa 2.5 minimum).
  • Recommended Film Thickness:60 – 100 µm.
  • Topcoat Compatibility:GENESIS MX (interior), PP, PA, PS (exterior).

GENESIS ZincoPrim is the next-generation zinc-rich epoxy primer that sets a new benchmark for corrosion resistance, adhesion, and durability in powder coating technology. When used in a GENESIS dual-coat system, it delivers exceptional lifetime protection — far superior to conventional zinc primers — making it the preferred choice for architectural, industrial, and heavy-duty applications.
