ZINC Primer is a zinc phosphate based - fast drying protective Primer for metal surfaces. Formulated with modified alkyd resins - zinc phosphate and other anti-corrosion pigments. Ambersil Zinc Primer fights rust and gives longer lasting interior and exterior corrosion resistance to topcoats.
Features:
- Ensures better topcoat adhesion and coverage
- Retains topcoat colour brilliance
- Grey colour is suitable even for light topcoat colours
- Re-paintable with all one-component paints - after 1 hour drying time
- Slows down rust by inhibition and complex building
- Saves pre-paint time by quickly filling hairline cracks and slight imperfections
- Fast drying
- Strong adhesion on degreased - bare metal surfaces
- Surface preparation (e.g. by abrasion) may be needed for oxidised or galvanised surfaces
- Totally lead and chromate free
- No chlorinated and no aromatic solvents
- Aerosols use dimethylether (DME) propellant for controlled application and film properties
Applications:
- Car bodywork
- Farm machinery and equipment
- Boat fittings
- Steel building elements
- Metal windows
- Chassis and frames
- Seams
- Spot welds
Directions:
- Shake aerosol can very well for at least one minute after agitator ball is free
- Repeat frequently while using
- Apply to a clean degreased - dry surface for best results. Remove rust and scale with a wire brush
- Apply in light - even coats;
- Best results are obtained with 2 lighter rather than 1 heavy coat
- Topcoat is best applied after 12 to 48 hours
- A slight sanding is advised
- When spraying is finished - clean aerosol valve by turning can upside down and press button until only propellant escapes
- If clogging occurs - remove button and clean orifice with fine wire
- Do not use on energised equipment
- Use in well ventilated area
