If you've spent any time on a job site around here, you already know how fast metal corrodes in the UAE climate. Between the brutal summer heat and the salty air closer to the coast, rust shows up sooner than you'd expect—and it doesn’t take long to spread. That’s why crews are turning to Weicon Zinc Spray to get ahead of the problem.
It’s one of those products that doesn’t look like much at first, but once you see it in action, it earns a permanent spot in your kit. Whether you’re patching up weld seams, adding protection to exposed steel, or doing quick repairs on galvanized parts, this stuff just works.
So, What’s in the Can?
Weicon Zinc Spray isn’t your average metal paint. The secret is in the high zinc content—over 90% in the dry film. That level of zinc turns the coating into a sort of sacrificial layer. Even if the spray coating gets scratched, the zinc corrodes before your steel does. That’s cathodic protection, and it’s the same principle behind hot-dip galvanizing. Only here can you apply it on-site from a spray can.
And it’s not a pain to work with, either. Shake it up, spray it on, and you’re set. It dries in about 15 minutes, fully cures in 24 hours, and can handle heat up to 500°C. That’s important in outdoor or high-temp environments like oil and gas operations, HVAC installations, or structural steel exposed to direct sun.
Where People Use It—and Why
Walk onto any industrial site and you'll see where this fits in. Construction firms use it to treat steel beams or concrete rebar. Utility companies spray it on transmission towers or fencing. Marine operators rely on it to keep equipment from rusting in salty air. It even works for touch-ups on factory equipment, trailers, and storage containers.
Basically, if you’ve got bare metal sitting out in the elements, you want something better than just paint. And this is better.
In coastal areas, metal tends to break down even faster. One stat that stands out is that studies show that about 25% of infrastructure repairs near the sea are tied to corrosion. Multiply that by the cost of labor, materials, and downtime, and suddenly, spending a few dirhams on a can of zinc spray looks like a pretty good investment.
What Makes It Better Than Regular Zinc Paint?
There are a lot of zinc sprays out there, but not all are built the same. Weicon’s version holds up because it’s got the right balance: more zinc, quicker dry time, and tougher adhesion. Here’s how it stacks up:
Once applied, it’s also paintable and weldable, which is surprisingly useful. You don’t have to stop everything to let it cure for days. Apply, dry, move on.
Quick Application Guide (No Fancy Tools Needed)
Most people appreciate how low-maintenance this spray is. Here’s the usual process:
No compressor, no mess. Just simple, practical protection.
Built for UAE Conditions
Let’s face it—this region puts coatings to the test. Some paints flake off after just a few weeks in the sun. Not this one. Weicon Zinc Spray is made to stand up to extreme temperatures, sandstorms, salty humidity, and constant sun exposure.
It’s already being used across projects in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai, on everything from construction scaffolding to HVAC ducts to steel doors.

Another reason professionals like this spray? It meets modern standards. No lead, no cadmium, and it complies with RoHS directives, making it a solid option for businesses that follow ISO 14001 environmental management guidelines.
It’s safe for indoor use, too, if there's good ventilation. We’ve even seen it used in food and beverage processing areas, where safety is non-negotiable.
