Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Substrates
ZincGard 1000 is applied directly to properly prepared steel as the primer. Direct contact with the steel substrate is required to provide optimal galvanic protection to the underlying steel surface.
- Topcoats
ZincGard 1000 is a porous primer, which provides galvanic protection of the steel. The porosity must be considered when topcoating ZincGard 1000. EpoxyGrip 2000 and UreGrip 3300 are formulated to release the entrapped air in the primer during application. These topcoats are applied by thinning to their maximum recommended level and applying a uniform mist coat approximately 1/3 the recommended thickness. The mist coat is allowed to flash dry at which time the remaining thickness is applied. Consult SSPC-PS Guide 8.00 for topcoating zinc-rich primers.
- Film Thickness (Per Coat)
Dry film thickness: 2 to 4 mils
- As a preconstruction primer - Dry film thickness: ¾ mil
Wet film thickness: 4 to 6 mils
Theoretical Coverage: 400 sq. ft. @ 3 mils
As a preconstruction primer – Theoretical Coverage: 1600 sq. ft at ¾ milNote: Film thickness exceeding 6 mils DFT may result in mudcracking.
- Pot Life
Eight hours at 75°F and less at higher temperatures. Moisture contamination will reduce the pot-life.
