A more subtle approach to the protective qualities of zinc than TS 1757 Zinc-Plate Primer! A rust-inhibiting Red Oxide Primer that is easy to spray and fast-setting. It is based on a zinc chromate-ferric oxide anti-corrosion marine coating system. This highly effective zinc primer binds rust to metal sealing out rust causing air and moisture. It is intended for use as a protective metal primer for new or rusted marine surfaces. Designed primarily as a corrosion-inhibiting zinc primer for use on aluminum vessels, equipment, machinery, ferrous and nonferrous metal surfaces before top coating with urethane, lacquer or enamel marine coating systems. A premium-grade, high solid marine primer that not only acts as an effective rust preventative on steel and iron substrates but should be viewed as an integral component of any corrosion resistant coating system. It is zinc rich and contains a balanced composition of special pigments and phenolic modified resin providing good rust-inhibitive properties and blister resistance for better adhesion and metal protection. Color: Red Oxide. Product type: Zinc Chromate Rust-Inhibitive Primer. Available in one gallon or five gallon cans.

Stats: Physical characteristics: Viscosity: 20-25 sec. #2 Zahn. Dry to the touch: 5-10 minutes, tack free: 20 minutes, time to recoat: 30 minutes, dry hard: 30 minutes. Weight Solids: 58-60%. Practical coverage is 300-350 square feet per gallon @ approximately 2.0 mils dry.

Recommended preparation: For best results remove old marine coating, loose scale, grease, oil and contaminates. Sand, grind, bead blast or power-wash prior to the application of any cleaner. All surfaces must be thoroughly dry before the application of any boat primers, topside coatings, bottom paints, spar varnish or brightwork varnish.

Application: This product is at a spray viscosity designed for airless use: The zinc primer should be allowed to dry a minimum of 2 hours before recoating with subsequent marine primers or marine paints. It should be applied to a dry film thickness between 0.3-0.4 mil. For non-marine equipment, or on iron or steel surfaces it should be applied to 0.6-0.8 mil dry film. It is satisfactory for application in a wide range of temperatures or humidity conditions. NOTE: This zinc primer is designed for spray application over surface-treated metal or pretreatment marine coatings (See TS 117 Pre-Treatment Wash Primer). If used for dip or flow-coat application, the product suitability should be determined by the user. Stir thoroughly before use. Brush, roller, or spray.

Thin & clean up: Use only with factory recommended thinner. It should not be thinned unless absolutely necessary. Thin if necessary with TS 605 Thinner. Tools and equipment may be cleaned with TS 605 Synthetic Thinner or TS 610 Lacquer Thinner.
