ZincGard® 1500
- Chemical Family
- Zinc & Zinc Compounds
ZincGard® 1500 is a rapid recoat primer that provides excellent corrosion protection and undercutting protection. Excellent for use in industrial, coastal, marine and freshwater environments. May be used on structural steel, steel tanks, offshore platforms, barges refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, railcars, pulp & paper mills and other areas as recommended. May also be used to field touch-up inorganic zinc and/or provide galvanic protection for properly prepared steel substrates.

- Topcoats
ZincGard 1500 is an easy to coat primer using either an epoxy or urethane. EpoxyGrip 2000 is the recommended epoxy topcoat for a two-coat application. EpoxyGrip 2100 can be used as an intermediate coat when added protection is required. UreGrip 3300 is recommended as a direct topcoat to ZincGard 1500. UreGrip 3000 is recommended as the final coating over the epoxy or urethane intermediate when a high gloss finish is desired.
- Shelf LIfe
6 months for the Parts A and Part B with 1 years for the Zinc Filler when stored inside at 40°F to 110°F.
- Substrates
ZincGard 1500 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.
