Zinc Rich Primers

Altra~Zinc® 605 is a high performance, two component, reinforced  zinc-rich primer designed for use as a cathodic primer for protecting steel exposed to a variety of environments.

Altra~Zinc® 605 is an ideal, rapid dry zinc primer for use on most mild steel fabricated equipment where it's reinforced  binder system is required including:

• Heavy Machinery
• Conveyors, Pipework etc
• Structural Steel
• Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)

Limitations of Use:

• Do not topcoat with alkyd coatings
• Not suitable for solvent, chemical or fresh water immersion service

Made to Order or imported lines subject to availability.

Self curing, zinc filled inorganic weldable holding primer.

A weldable inorganic zinc primer, which is both self curing and weldable. Welds made over Carboweld 11 coated steel are equal in every respect to welds joining uncoated steel prior to fabrication.

Weld spatter does not adhere to or damage the coating. Coated steel can be welded as quickly and easily as bare steel without loss in strength or consistency of the weld.

May be top coated with Carbozinc 11 and most conventional paints and coatings.

Carboweld 11 is used as a preconstruction primer in shipyards and fabricating shops. It has many cost saving advantages over conventional shop primers

Time-tested corrosion resistant primer that protects steel galvanically in the harshest environments. For over four decades, Carbozinc 11 (CZ 11) has been the industry standard for high-performance inorganic zinc protection on steel structures worldwide

• CZ 11 meets Class B slip co-efficient and creep testing criteria for use on faying surfaces
• Rapid cure. Dry to handle in 45 minutes at 16°C and 50% relative humidity.
• Low temperature cure down to -18°C.
• High zinc loading.
• Meets FDA requirements in grey color.
• Available in ASTM D520, Type II zinc version.
• Very good resistance to salting.
• May be applied with standard airless or conventional spray equipment.
• Complies with the composition and performance requirements of:
  • AS/NZS 3750.15, Type 4
  • AS 4848.1:2006 Single Coat Inorganic Zinc Silicate

Made to Order or imported lines subject to availability.
