Hub Industrial Supply Zinc Rich ColdGalvanizing Compound is a A highperformance primer containing 97% purezinc dust pigment blended with epoxyresin. Stops rust by electro- chemicalaction on steel or galvanized coatings.The self- sacrificing zinc protects the basemetal, preserving strength and preventsrust creepage when the area is penetratedor scratched. This compound fuses zinc tothe metal substrate and delivers protectionagainst corrosion equal to or better thanhot dipped galvanize.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
USES
For use in automotive, marine, nuclearfacilities, power plants and refineries.• Industrial tanks • Piping• Welded joints • Bridges• Farm equipment • Fences• Wrought iron • Gutters• Structural steel • Transmission towers• Galvanized surfaces
APPLICATION
Must be applied directly to dry, cleanmetal or galvanized surfaces and notover any other paint or coating. Apply aheavy, wet coat to obtain proper thicknesswith no bare areas or pinholes. Double- lapspray all welds, corners, edges, etc.Im por tan t : Do not contaminate withwater or acid.Su r face P reparat ion : Proper surfacepreparation contributes to maximumservice life of coatings. All contaminates,millscale, rust, rust scale, chemicals,grease, oil, wax, eld spatter, old paint orother foreign matter must be removeddown to bare metal.New Galvan ized Metal: Oils, greasesand waxes may be removed with mineralspirits or xylol. Stronger aromatic solventssuch as xylol are recommended toremovesilicone surface treatments. Silicates orwhite rust should be removed by sandingor sweep-blast. Do not use acetic acid orvinegar for surface preparation ofgalvanized metal. Keep surfaces moisture-free until coated with Zinc Rich Cold Galvanizing Compound. Spot reblast toremove any contamination-solvent wipingis not satisfactory.
APPLICATION CONT.P rev iou s ly Coated Su r faces :If coated surface has been scratched orpenetrated to expose substrate, it shouldbe treated as new galvanized metal.Previously coated surfaces in goodcondition should be treated to ensure aclean, dry surface, free of contaminants.Metal (iron or s teel): Round off allrough welds, rivet heads and weldspatters. There are several methods ofsurface preparation depending upon thesurface condition of the metal.Contaminants may be removed by wirebrushing, chipping, scraping or sanding.If more effective cleaning is needed, powertools can be used. mil scale may beremoved with acid. After treatment, surfacemust be rinsed thoroughly. Greases andother soluble materials can be removed withsolvents such as mineral spirits, toluol andxyol, or by steam cleaning. If surface isparticularly contaminated, several differentmethods of sand-blasting could be used.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
• Remove all rust, scale, paint, grease orforeign matter. A good clean surface isnecessary. Apply directly to DRY metalor galvanized surface and not over anyother paint or coating. Product shouldbe sprayed in a well ventilated area.Use at room temperature between 50°F(10°C) and 80°F (27°C) for bestoperation.
• Turn can upside down. Hit sides lightlywhile rotating can in 1⁄4 turns untilagitator ball breaks loose.
• While holding can upright, alternatelyshake the can up and down and in acircle for 30-60 seconds until theagitator travels freely in the bottom.
NOTE! INSUFFICIENT MIX ING MAYCAUSE P RODUCT TO SETTLE ANDP LUGGING TO OCCUR.• Press spray button firmly with the can 8”
to 12” away from surface being coated.Move can with short dusting strokes,releasing button at the end of eachstroke. Apply several thin coats.
• For maximum performance in a highlycorrosive environment, a topcoat isrequired.
• To prevent clogging, hold can upsidedown and spray until only clear gascomes out.
