Properties of Zinc Rich Primer

Zinc rich primer is a two pack system enriched with metallic zinc to provide outstanding performance in highly corrosive environment. Metallic Zinc imparts Cathodic protection to the base metal and Epoxide groups react with polyamide / Amine adduct hardener to form tough, non convertible film at ambient temp.It resists photo degradation by UV light as it contains UV absorber.

RANGE OF APPLICATION

Suitable for application as a priming coat on structural steel, pipelines, tank exteriors of refineries, power generation plants, mining facilities bulk handling equipment and fertilizer industries etc. This can be TOP-COATED with Epoxy Paints ; Polyurethane paints chlorinated rubber paints for specific applications.

KEY PROPERTIES

1. Provides excellent adhesion on blast cleaned steel work.
2. Withstands 120o C dry heat
3. Builds high DFT in single coat
4. Excellent corrosion resistance
5. With suitable TOP-COAT it resists most salts & alkalis
6. Good Acid & alcohol resistance (Direct immersion is not advisable )
7. Resists splash , spillage, immersion of aromatic hydrocarbon & solvents
8. Good abrasion resistance
