METAL PRIMER ZINC PHOSPHATE

Zinc Phosphate primer is a high performance primer for all metallic surfaces. It increases corrosion control and promotes topcoat adhesion and helps preventing chipping, cracking and peeling.

It is recommended for steel structures and surfaces exposed to corrosive environments. It is also recommended for overcoating of zinc primed steel and for applications on light metal alloy surfaces. It is used for only air-drying applications. It can be overcoated with Alkyd based paints. It is suitable for interior and exterior use in alkyd systems.

Surfaces should be solid, clean and dry, free from oil, grease, salt, dust and other contaminants.

1. Alkaline and acid surfaces should be cleaned and neutralized.
2. Deteriorated previous coatings, weak and blistered paints or chalky substances should be removed by scrapers, paint removers or flame spraying.
3. Non-disintegrated paints or glossy surfaces of previous coatings should be roughened slightly with sand paper to ensure good undercoat adhesion.
4. Corroded and/or damaged areas should be blast cleaned.
5. Other surfaces: For aluminum substrates, thorough washing and sweeping with a nonmetallic blast medium is required.
