R22 is a Low VOC single pack type, organic zinc rich paint.
R spray is a high quality zinc rich spray.
These two products contain 96% pure zinc metal in its dry film and provide cathodic protection on steel.
They offer equivalent anti-corrosion performance of hot-dip galvanizing.
For further information, refer to the product page of our website.
R22 and R spray are both zinc rich paint.
Single pack type paint is ready to use as soon as can is opened, whereas two pack type paint needs to be mixed with hardener before use.
| Inorganic zinc-rich | Organic zinc-rich | |
|---|---|---|

| Advantage |
Good anti-corrosion protection Good friction resistance Good heat resistance Good oil resistance Good solvent resistance |
Good adhesion Easy to apply Easy to reserve Wide variety of surface preparation methods |
| Disadvantage |
Require high quality surface preparation (e.g. sandblasting) Require suitable temperature and humidity for curing. Inconvenience for further processing of coatings Bubbles and cracks may occur during curing |
Flammable Poor solvent resistance Poor heat resistance Poor friction resistance |
ROVAL products do NOT contain lead.
Compound in ROVAL products are all pure zinc powder and some of our products also contain aluminum powder.
Zinc and lead are totally different substances.
Lead is toxic to the human body. On the other hand, zinc is necessary for the human body because it controls our sense of taste.
ATTENTION:
ROVAL products contain organic solvents.
Avoid contact with skin and inhalation.
Yes.
R22 is classified as a “Flammable Liquid,” and our aerosol products are classified as “Aerosols, Flammable, n.o.s.”
The performance of the products is highly dependent on the degree of surface preparation, thickness of dry film, and its environmental conditions.
Since these criteria are out of our control, we do NOT guarantee their performance.
Yes.
R22 and R spray have the same anti-corrosion mechanism as hot-dip galvanizing.
In the 1940s, researches conducted by Cambridge University indicated that the coating, which had more than 95% pure zinc metal in the dried film, provided electrochemical protection on steel and had the equivalent anti-corrosion effect of hot-dip galvanizing.
Normal paint works as a barrier to isolate steel from deteriorating factors such as water and air.
Our product offers electrochemical protection to prevent steel from corrosion, in the same way that hot-dip galvanizing does.
As the benefit of this reaction, even when the ROVAL film is damaged and part of the steel is exposed, rust will not creep under the film.
Zinc has lower electrode potentials than iron.
Therefore, when zinc and iron interact, the ionization of zinc is easier than that of iron.
Horizontal storage makes agitator balls inside the aerosol to be stirred easier before using.
In order to prevent the spray nozzle from clogging, hold the aerosol upside down and spray until colorless mist appears (about 2 seconds).
