GALVANY IZ180(N) is a self-curing inorganic zinc primer (two-component) containing a zinc silicate mixture that protects the substrate from corrosion through cathodic protection. It offers good application properties and weatherability and withstands temperatures up to 400°C/752°F. Under FDA Regulation 175.300, it is suitable for fresh water tanks in direct contact with food.
It can be used alone in severely corrosive marine environments and heavy-duty corrosion protection conditions; under more severe corrosive conditions, it is used with organic or inorganic topcoats. Suitable for coastal or high-salinity areas, as well as oil refineries, paper mills and chemical plants.

Remove all oil, grease and other contaminants from the surface to be coated. * Steel plate: abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2.5 or Sa3, achieving a roughness of 25–75 µm. * Steel plate with shop primer (inorganic zinc silicate): abrasive blast cleaning of welded and damaged areas to Sa2.5 or Sa3, removing silicates and other contaminants by blasting. * Steel plate with other shop primers: abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2.5.
The surface to be coated shall be clean and dry; application may proceed only when relative humidity does not exceed 85% and surface temperature is at least 2.7°C (5°F) above the dew point. The applicable application and curing temperature range is between -18°C/0°F and 49°C/120°F.
Base : zinc filler = 14.25 kg : 31.53 kg. Add the zinc filler to the base at a constant stirring speed, then filter the mixture through 30–60 mesh.
