Inorganic zinc silicate paint uses zinc silicate (ethyl silicate hydrolysate or potassium silicate/sodium silicate) as the binder, combined with a high zinc dust content, and is a type of zinc-rich primer with pronounced temperature resistance and solvent resistance. Its advantages are threefold: temperature resistance up to above 400°C (far higher than approximately 120°C for epoxy zinc-rich), resistance to organic solvents and ketone media, and a hard, wear-resistant film that can serve as a primer for subsequent welding and cutting. Typical uses include high-temperature pipelines, storage tank interiors, petrochemical units, and shop primers for steel components requiring welding. In application, particular attention should be paid to: most products rely on moisture in the air to trigger curing, requiring relative humidity control (too low, no curing; too high, easy blistering); high surface preparation grade (usually Sa2.5); the film is relatively brittle, and compatible topcoats with good compatibility and no dependence on strong solvents should be selected.

This page compiles original-factory technical data sheets by tag. The same model may appear under several tags at once (for example, a water-borne epoxy primer belongs to "water-borne", "epoxy" and "primer"), the more entry points a model has, the more easily it is found by search habits.
