What type of coating is elcozin?
An ambient-drying inorganic zinc flake coating designed to enhance corrosion protection of steel structures and components.
Combined barrier and sacrificial-anode protection mechanisms
The coating structure supports protection at a low film thickness. Overlapping zinc flakes lengthen the ingress path for corrosive agents, while the ceramic matrix binds the coating together.
Barrier Protection
The ceramic matrix and overlapping zinc flakes impede salt ingress and support barrier protection.
Sacrificial Protection
Zinc corrodes preferentially to provide electrochemical protection to the steel substrate.
Proprietary chemical surface pretreatment
Prepares the substrate through the specified chemical pretreatment process rather than mechanical blasting.
Automated Coating Equipment
Automated equipment with robotic loading and unloading supports consistent coating quality.
Ambient-drying coating process for large steel structures
elcozin is an ambient-drying zinc flake coating for large steel structures and on-site application without heat-curing equipment. The application process is configured for the treatment area, component geometry and drying conditions.

01
Spray the First Side
Spray the first side.
02
Touch-dry Check at 5 min
Check for touch-dry condition after the stated 5 minutes at room temperature.
03
Spray the Second Side
Spray the opposite side.
04
Complete Drying
Allow to dry naturally; the specified faster-packing option uses heat drying at 120°C for 2 minutes.
Two-sided coating procedure as described in the product catalog.
Corrosion comparison: 20 µm coating and 80 µm hot-dip galvanizing
In the referenced salt spray comparison, the elcozin specimen used one-quarter (1/4) of the coating thickness and lasted longer under the same test conditions.
| SST comparison at 1,000 hr [ASTM B117, 35°C, 5% NaCl] | elcozin 20㎛ | Hot-dip galvanizing 80 µm |

Corrosion Protection in Marine Environments
The SST comparison is from the product catalog; standard-method tests are from accredited laboratories. This is an alcohol-based solvent-borne coating with a reported VOC content of 390 g/L [KS M ISO 11890-2:2013, GC/FID]. Toluene and xylene are not used. Separate RoHS-related substance and adhesion reports are available.
Corrosion protection for road, coastal and energy infrastructure
Ambient drying supports application to large structures and on-site work. The system is used for corrosion protection of steel structures in demanding environments, subject to the required specification.
Guardrails and Road Safety Structures
For protective coating of safety structures in road and bridge projects.
Coastal Structures
Protects structures exposed to salt, including noise barriers, traffic-signal posts and lighting towers.
Energy Infrastructure
Applications include transmission towers, wind-energy equipment and solar-support structures.
Rail and Bridge Structures
For corrosion protection of rail supports and bridge components.
Ports and Large Facilities
For large steel structures such as port facilities and sports complexes.
Automotive Components
Applications such as hub bearings and brake discs are considered for evaluation.
elcozin: Key Questions
Considerations before applying an ambient-drying zinc flake coating.
Is heat curing required?
It is designed for ambient drying, supporting evaluation for large structures and on-site use. Confirm drying time under the actual temperature, humidity and coating conditions.
What should be assessed before application?
Review substrate condition, pretreatment, target coating thickness, service environment, coated area and application conditions.
