Inorganic zinc (IOZ) coatings (i.e., paints) are frequently used as a primer layer in paint systems for steel structures.
These coatings can also be used alone, i.e., as a single component, to provide appropriate corrosion protection in some
situations. This application of inorganic zinc coatings is referenced as single-coat inorganic zinc (SIOZ). This document
is a synthesis study report on the use of SIOZ as the sole corrosion protection system for steel bridges.
