RailGard 2040 VOC is normally applied directly to steel. RailGard 2040 VOC, however, can be applied to cured ZincGard 1000, ZincGard 1500, EpoxyGrip 2100 and MasticGrip 2500. Consult SSPC-PS Guide 8.00 for topcoating zinc-rich primers.
- Topcoats
When additional protection is required, RailGard 2040 VOC may be topcoated with a urethane such as: UreGrip 3000 or UreGrip 3300.
- Pot Life
Three hours at 75° and less at higher temperatures.
