Rust-anode primer

Unique technology for industrial galvanization, rich in organic zinc through electrochemical bonding with 88% zinc content in the dry layer. Offers a lifespan comparable to hot-dip galvanization under the same exposure conditions.
Available sizes: 0.5, 2 and 12 kilograms.
- Mono-component product
- 99.995% pure organic zinc
- Lower in VOCs 285 grams/litre
- Cathodic protection due to electrochemical bond with the metal
- Easy to apply with standard painting equipment, including electrostatic
- Can be applied on non-friable rust, free of dust
- Can be covered with most paint products
- Can be used in duplex over new and old HDG or metallization
- Rust-Anode® Primer comes in only one colour: flat grey natural zinc RAL # 7005
- An equal dry film thickness of Rust-Anode® Primer provides the same performance as hot dip galvanization or metallization.
- No structural distortion
- Flexibility
- Permanent adhesion
- No cathodic disbondment
- Follow thermal expansions
- Moisture cured, without dew point
- High resistance to saltwater and salty environments
- Can be applied to aluminum, stainless, corten, cast iron, (all metals), concrete and existing paint after minimal cleaning
- Resists to hydrocarbons such as hydraulic fluid, diesel, gasoline, urea, etc.
- Dries quickly (hygro-reactive) in moist environments
- Can be used at any time to retouch Rust-Anode® Primer coated surfaces
- Can be applied at temperatures from –5°C and +37°C (23°F to +98°F)
- Meets ASTM B117 (Salt Spray Test), ASTM D522 (Mandrel Bend Test), CAN/CGSB 1-GP-71 Method 119.5 and CAN/CGSB 1.181 and Canadian Food Inspection Agency standards

Questions and answers
Yes, Rust-Anode Primer has high resistance in immersion, including freshwater, saltwater, wastewater, and saline environments.
Rust-Anode Primer can be applied from -5°C to 37°C (23°F to 98°F).
Yes, please contact our experts to inquire about compatibility.
Drying and curing/application time for a wet film thickness of 5.0 mils (125µm) at 77°F (25°C) with 50% relative humidity (RH). The product is touch dry in 45 minutes. The curing time may vary depending on ambient temperature and relative humidity. A minimum of 30% relative humidity is required during application for proper drying and curing.
