• Excellent adhesion and undercutting resistance.
• Excellent abrasion resistance

Coverage

Wet film thickness: 125-200μm Dry film thickness: 75-125 μm the consumption is 330-550 gr/m²

Instruction for Use

Surface Preparation

• Zinc rich coatings require direct contact between the zinc pigment in the coating and the metal substrate for optimum performance.
• Surface must be dry, free from oil, dirt, dust, mill scale or other Contaminants to ensure adequate adhesion.
• Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-SP1. Blasted to minimum SA2 1/2 (ISO 8501-1), SSPS-SP10, and obtain 25-50μ (1-3 mils) blast profile.

Mixing

Mix contents of component A and B thoroughly with power agitator.

Then add Part C gradually while mixing and thoroughly agitate the mixture with power agitation. After mixing, pour through a 30-60 Mesh screen. Allow the material to sweat-in as indicated. Re-stir before using, if reducer solvent is used, add only after components have been thoroughly mixed, after sweat-in. Continuous agitation of mixture during application is required, otherwise zinc dust will quickly settle out.

Application

• Temperature: 4˚c minimum and 40˚c maximum (air, surface, and material) At least 3°c above dew point.

Relative humidity: 85% maximum

• For small areas ZR can be applied by brush, if required thinned up to 5% by weight.
• For large areas ZR is applied by airless or conventional spray, if required thinned up to 8% by weight.
