Three hours at 75° and less at higher temperatures.
- Topcoats
When additional protection is required, RailGard 2040 VOC may be topcoated with a urethane such as: UreGrip 3000 or UreGrip 3300.
- Resistance
RailGard 2040 VOC is resistant to a wide range of chemicals in atmospheric exposures. The following is a guide to the proper selection.
- Shelf LIfe
2 years for both the Part A and B when stored inside at 40°F to 110°F.
- Substrates
RailGard 2040 VOC is normally applied directly to steel. RailGard 2040 VOC, however, can be applied to cured ZincGard 1000, ZincGard 1500, EpoxyGrip 2100 and MasticGrip 2500. Consult SSPC-PS Guide 8.00 for topcoating zinc-rich primers.
