ZD6060 Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer
A two-component high-solids heavy-duty anticorrosive epoxy zinc-rich primer composed of epoxy resin, zinc powder, solvent and additives with a polyamide curing agent; the dry film has a metallic zinc content ≥ 60%.
The film has excellent anti-corrosion properties;
Provides cathodic protection to locally damaged areas;
Excellent adhesion to blast-cleaned carbon steel surfaces.
As a primer for blast-cleaned bare steel in medium to severe corrosive environments, such as steel structures, bridges, port machinery, offshore platforms, construction machinery, storage tanks, pipelines and power facilities. Used with high-performance paints, it further improves the anti-corrosion performance of the coating system;
Suitable for approved zinc-rich shop primer surfaces to be retained;
Suitable for repair of damaged areas of galvanised parts or zinc silicate primer coatings;
For maintenance, its cathodic protection anti-corrosion effect is achieved only on surfaces prepared to bare steel.

| New steel | Remove grease from the surface with a suitable cleaner, and rinse off salts and other contaminants with fresh water. Remove weld slag, and grind welds and sharp edges smooth. Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1); the ideal surface roughness is Rz 30–75 µm (medium roughness on the ISO 8503-1 comparator). Apply the primer within 4 hours of blast cleaning. |
|---|---|
| Shop-primed surface | Welds, heat-treated areas and damaged areas must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1) or cleaned with power tools to St 3. Only sound, approved zinc-rich shop primer may be retained. When exposed to humid conditions, zinc salts form on the zinc-rich primer surface; before recoating, remove soluble zinc salts with fresh water and remove white rust (zinc corrosion products) with a stiff brush. If the zinc-rich primer is damaged over a large area, full blast cleaning is recommended. |
| Repair | Thoroughly remove grease from the surface with a suitable cleaner, and wash off salts and other contaminants with high-pressure fresh water. Remove rust and other loose material by blast cleaning; alternatively, grind small rusted areas with power tools and touch up bare areas with this product. |
Application environment temperature 5–38 °C, relative humidity not more than 85%, and the steel surface temperature should be at least 3 °C above the dew point. Do not apply outdoors in adverse weather such as rain, fog, snow, strong wind and heavy dust;
In hot summer weather, guard against dry spray; provide ample ventilation during application and drying in confined spaces;
At application environment temperatures of -5 to 5 °C, use a low-temperature-curing product or take other measures to ensure proper film curing.
| Mixing | This product is supplied as two containers forming one unit. Stir the base thoroughly with a power mixer, add the curing agent in the specified ratio, stir again with a power mixer, and add the recommended thinner to adjust to a suitable application viscosity. Once mixed, use within the specified pot life. |
