Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Uses
Superb corrosion resistance for severe environments, such as:
- Marine (ships, off-shore rigs, buoys, etc.)
- Bridges
- Pipelines (buried and above ground)
- Hydro (water control gates, turbines, trash racks, etc)
- Railcars
- Storage Tanks
- Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be coated prepared to SSPC-SP10, Near-White finish with a minimum of 1.0 mil profile.
- Mixing
While mixing, add Part B (Metallic Zinc Powder) to Part A (Silicate) with constant stirring. DO NOT ADD PART A TO PART B. After mixing, pour the product through a 40-mesh screen into a pressure pot or second pail. Continually agitate while applying mixed materials.
