ZinaCore has very good colour and gloss retention and is suitable for roofing, cladding, and rainwater goods. It is ideal for interior uses and exterior environments where corrosion levels are moderate. It is also suitable for fencing applications. 

ColorCote ZinaCore X is ideal for industrial sites where there is a high risk of deterioration from corrosive elements in the environment. 

ColorCote ZinaCore and ZinaCore X are not suitable for use in the following situations:

• Animal shelters where excessive ammonia fumes can accumulate due to inadequate venting, or where direct contact with animal effluent can occur.
• Water tanks or areas where a constantly wet environment is maintained.
• In direct contact with concrete or where lime deposits are evident.
• In contact with soil (allow a 75mm run off below cladding sheets to ground level).
• Roofs with pitches less than three degrees (eight degrees for standard corrugated profile).

ColorCote no longer warrant ZinaCore for rainwater goods and fascia, as MagnaFlow or AlumiGard products are more durable for these uses.

ColorCote ZinaCore and ZinaCore X, under normal well washed conditions of exposure, can be expected to show no cracking (other than that which may occur during forming), flaking or peeling of the paint film for 15 years from the date of installation.
