Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Silver Zinc is a fast drying epoxy based metallic zinc coating which provides excellent adhesion, corrosion resistance and long lasting durability to metal surfaces. It can be used as an anti-corrosive primer and top coat in a one-step application. It can also be used as a touch up coating for welded areas on galvanised products however for longer term protection and highly corrosive conditions Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Cold Galvanising Coating primer is recommended before the application of Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Silver Zinc as a finish coat.
Preparation: Surface should be clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as rust, oil, grease, dirt and salt. Welds should be ground back to clean white metal. Thoroughly sand new metal and lightly sand previously painted surfaces to ensure maximum adhesion. Remove loose rust and flaking paint with a wire brush, scraper or mechanical sander.
Application: Before spraying, cover surrounded areas to protect from overspray. Shake can for at least 45 seconds after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Shake can occasionally during use. Hold can upright approximately 20-25cm from the surface. Spray with a smooth sweeping motion. To prevent paint from sagging, apply several light mist coasts rather than one heavy coat.
Handy Tip: For best results always remove rust back to bare metal. It is highly recommended that metal surfaces are primed prior to two coats of Zinc Guard™ Silver Zinc.
Handy Tip: Ideal application temperature is between 10˚C and 40˚C. Avoid using in windy conditions.
