TS-1184 Zinc Chromate Primer

$34.36

There is nothing subtle about Zinc-Plate Primer! It’s absolutely loaded with protective zinc. A very fast-drying zinc rich primer designed primarily as a corrosion-inhibiting product for use on aluminum boats or marine equipment, ferrous and nonferrous metal surfaces in marine environments. Use it alone or before top coating with urethane, lacquer or enamel topside boat paint. 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 yellow 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. It is satisfactory for application in a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. Conforms to government specification number TT-P-1757. Color: Yellow. Product type: Zinc Chromate Phenolic Modified Alkyd Rust-Inhibitive Zinc Primer.

Stats: 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 primers, marine coatings, 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 marine 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 1/2 hour before recoating with subsequent zinc 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. NOTE: This zinc primer is designed for spray application over surface-treated metal or pretreatment 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. Physical characteristics: Viscosity: 20-25 sec. #2 Zahn. 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.
