[0002] Zinc-rich paints are categorized into organic and inorganic zinc-rich paints. Organic zinc-rich paints often use epoxy resins, chlorinated rubber, vinyl resins, and polyurethane resins as film-forming bases. However, the organic film-forming materials of organic zinc-rich paints have poor electrical conductivity. Inorganic zinc-rich paints are further categorized into solvent-based and water-based. Water-based inorganic zinc-rich paints are composed of water-based inorganic silicate (sodium, potassium, lithium) resins, zinc powder, and additives.

[0003] Especially water-based paint, the so-called water-based paint is: paint that uses water as a solvent or a dispersion medium; in order to ensure that the surface activity of the paint is reduced after coating, thereby avoiding oxidation, we need to passivate the zinc powder. The passivated zinc powder has a certain antioxidant effect when used in paint. Summary of the Invention
