ZincGard® 1000
- Chemical Family
- Zinc & Zinc Compounds
ZincGard® 1000 is a spray applied galvanizing, pure zinc coating that provides near permanent corrosion protection of steel as documented by the Federal Highway Administration. This technology has provided 25+ years documented field protection by the Federal Highway Administration. ZincGard 1000 is excellent for application in industrial plants, costal, marine, offshore, and freshwater environments. Used for structural steel, steel tanks, offshore platforms, barges, refineries, power plants, railcars, pulp & paper mills and other areas as recommended. May also be used untopcoated for long-term corrosion protection as well as a tank lining for solvent immersion service.

- Pot Life
Eight hours at 75°F and less at higher temperatures. Moisture contamination will reduce the pot-life.
- Topcoats
ZincGard 1000 is a porous primer, which provides galvanic protection of the steel. The porosity must be considered when topcoating ZincGard 1000. EpoxyGrip 2000 and UreGrip 3300 are formulated to release the entrapped air in the primer during application. These topcoats are applied by thinning to their maximum recommended level and applying a uniform mist coat approximately 1/3 the recommended thickness. The mist coat is allowed to flash dry at which time the remaining thickness is applied. Consult SSPC-PS Guide 8.00 for topcoating zinc-rich primers.
- Shelf LIfe
6 months for the Part A and 3 years for the Zinc Filler when stored inside at 40°F to 110°F.
- Substrates
ZincGard 1000 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.
