Zinc Rich Primer

Product Function

This primer is formulated to produce a dry film containing a high zinc content, thus providing cathodic protection against corrosion on iron and steel. It is designed for application to shot-blasted steel and normally allows subsequent welding of thin coats up to 25 microns dry film thickness.

Surface Preparation and Application

Surfaces to be coated must be dry and clean ensuring that no grease remains. Degreasing may be carried out using Universal Thinners, maximum efficiency will be achieved using vapour degreasing. The product can be applied using conventional or airless spray equipment and can be adjusted for use with electrostatic spray equipment. Conventional spraying requires the paint to be thinned to a viscosity of 30-50 seconds at ambient temperature.
