This process is called Cold Galvanizing and is a type of Cathodic Protection. If there is an insufficient amount of zinc in the dry film, Cathodic Protection will not occur. Cold Galvanizing is a process used to protect steel from rusting. It involves painting on a layer of zinc rich paint. The zinc in the paint reacts with air and water instead of the steel beneath it.

Cold Galvanizing is a type of Cathodic Protection. Cathodic Protection involves the use of another metal zinc being applied to the steel surface to react with air and water instead of the steel beneath it. ColdGal paints containing zinc are applied to steel surfaces as a protective layer. Without significant amounts of zinc in the paint, there is no active Cathodic Protection and the steel is left exposed to water and air resulting in rust.

Steel protection is compromised when either of these are in low concentrations. Highly pure zinc but low amounts of it in the formula or high concentrations of very impure zinc both lead to a compromised protective layer resulting in the formation of rust. The best protective layers are those which last the longest. High levels of zinc concentration and purity prolong the duration of protection and increase the life of the steel.
