DESCRIPTION
Fast drying, zinc rich primer based on an epoxy ester resin. Contains pure zinc as pigment
and provides cathodic protection to metal.
RECOMMENDED USE
1085 Cold Galvanizing should be used on new, bare steel, blasted steel or galvanized steel
surfaces. 1085 is primarily intended for brush application on small areas or for touch-up.
Can be recoated with non-saponifiable coatings. 1085 should be used as a primer or as a
single coat in light industrial exposures, corrosive environments and high humidity areas.
Zinc content: 90% by weight in the dry film.
TECHNICAL DATA
Density (g/cm³): 2,76
Gloss Level: Matt
Corrosion Class: C4 high protection
Solids Content in weight: 90%
Solids content in volume: 47,6%
Heat Resistance: 300°C (dry heat)
DRY TIMES BY 20º C/RH 50%
Touch dry: 15 minutes
Dry to handle: 2 hours
Dry to recoat: 4 hours
Fully cured: 3 days
RECOMMENDED WET FILM THICKNESS 75 µm
RECOMMENDED DRY FILM THICKNESS 35 µm
THEORETICAL CONSUMPTION
13 m²/l = 4,7 m²/kg
PRACTICAL CONSUMPTION
Practical coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the
substrate and material losses during application.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure
(steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. For optimum results remove
rust, rust scale, mill scale and deteriorated coatings by abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO
8501-1 : 1988), blast profile max. 50 µm. The surface must be clean and dry during
application.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
To ensure homogeneity, coating materials should be thoroughly stirred prior to use.
To avoid settlement of the zinc pigments on the bottom of the can stir regularly during
application.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Temperature of air, substrate and coating material between 5 and 35°C and relative
humidity below 85%. The substrate temperature must be at least 3°C above dew point.
APPLICATION & THINNING: BRUSH
Up to 5% volume RUST-OLEUM Thinner 160. Use natural bristles, long hair brushes.
APPLICATION & THINNING: AEROSOL
Remove cover cap. Shake vigorously for at least one minute after the rattle of mixing ball isheard. Shake frequently during use. Hold can at least 25 cm from surface. Use back and forth motion keeping can parallel with surface. Ensure that can is in motion when spray button is pressed to avoid runs and sags. Apply several thin layers at a few minutes interval to achieve adequate coating thickness. After use turn can upside down and press spray button for 2 - 3 seconds to clean valve.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT / SPILLS Use RUST-OLEUM Thinner 160 or aromatic hydrocarbons.
REMARKS Maximum dry film thickness per coat: 75 µm dry, equals 160 µm wet. 1085 should preferably be applied in a maximum dry film thickness of 35 µm if recoated.
