Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Area
- Substrates
ZincGard 1500 VOC 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 1500 VOC is an easy to coat primer using either an epoxy or urethane. EpoxyGrip 2000 is the recommended epoxy topcoat for a two-coat application tie coat for a three coat application. MultiGrip 7000 XP VOC is recommended as a direct topcoat to ZincGard 1500 VOC.
- Pot Life
Six hours at 75° and less at higher temperatures.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Qualifications
ZincGard 1500 VOC meets Class “B” requirements for slip co-efficient and creep resistance as set forth in the Specification for Structural Joints using A325 or A490 Bolts, in accordance with Research Council on Structural Connections, Appendix A. Exceed requirements of SSPC-PS 12.00
Technical Details & Test Data
- Resistance
ZincGard 1500 VOC prevents rusting of steel in a corrosive environment with a pH range of 5 to 9. Topcoats should be used for pH beyond these limits. When topcoated, ZincGard 1500 VOC effectively reduces undercutting from a damaged area. The following is a guide to the proper selection:
