ZINC RICH 1P

One Pack Zinc Rich Phenoxy Primer PC 102

FEATURES • SINGLE PACK “COLD GALVANISING” PRIMER
• MAY BE OVERCOATED WITH MOST HEAVY DUTY TOPCOATS
• EXCELLENT PRIMER FOR POWDER COATING

USES Zinc Rich 1P is recommended as a convenient sacrificial primer in conjunction with heavy duty finishes to increase
the corrosion resistance and life of any system or as a single application protective coating.
Zinc Rich 1P is most often used as a general primer for structural steelwork in industrial and commercial
environments especially for the protection of tankage, pipelines, cranes and bridges. It is also recommended for the
repair of damaged galvanised steel and wrought iron balustrades and railings and under powdercoat finishes.

SURFACE PREPARATION Steel:

Round off all rough welds, sharp edges and remove weld spatter. Remove grease, oil and other
contaminants in accordance with AS1627.1. Rust, millscale, oxide deposits and old paint films on metal
surfaces must be removed by abrasive blast cleaning to a minimum of AS1627.4 Class 2.5. For less
demanding uses where abrasive blast cleaning is not possible power tool clean to a minimum of
AS1627.2. Class 2. Remove all dust by brushing or vacuum cleaning.
Galvanised steel:
Round off all rough welds, sharp edges and remove weld spatter. Remove grease, oil and other
contaminants in accordance with AS1627.1. Abrade the surface with abrasive paper or whip blast
Remove all dust by vacuum cleaning.
APPLICATION Stir each can thoroughly until the contents are uniform. Use of a power mixer is recommended. Remix
thoroughly before using and continue mixing during application.
BRUSH/ROLLER Suitable for small areas only. Apply even coats of the mixed material to the prepared surface. Thin if
necessary with up to 100 ml/litre with Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) to ease application. When
brushing and rolling additional coats may be required to attain the specified thickness.
CONVENTIONAL SPRAY Thin up to 100ml/litre with Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) to aid atomisation. For use under Powder
Coatings use DUTHIN® 540. Ensure paint is regularly agitated during application to prevent separation.
Typical Set-up
Graco Delta Gun: 1.8mm (239543)
Pressure at Pot: 100-140 kPa (15-20 p.s.i.)
Pressure at Gun: 280-420 kPa (40-60 p.s.i.)
AIRLESS SPRAY Standard airless spray equipment such as a Graco 33:1 Bulldog with a fluid tip of 15-19 thou (0.38-
0.48mm) and an air supply capable of delivering 550-690 kPa (80-100 p.s.i.) at the pump. Ensure paint is
regularly agitated during application to prevent separation.
PRECAUTIONS This is an industrial product designed for use by experienced Protective Coatings applicators. Where
conditions may require variation from the recommendations on this Product Data Sheet contact your
nearest Dulux® representative for advice prior to painting. Do not apply in conditions outside the
parameters stated in this document without the express written consent of Dulux® Australia. The rate of
cure is dependent upon temperature. Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C. Do not apply at relative
humidity above 85% or when the surface is less than 3°C above the dewpoint. Topcoats of a saponifiable
nature such as alkyds must never be applied directly to ZINC RICH 1P. When used under powder
coatings DUTHIN® 540 must be used.
CLEAN UP Clean all equipment with Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) immediately after use.
OVERCOATING Aged coating should be tested for lifting by a method appropriate for the coating thickness, for example
‘X’ cut or cross-hatch methods. If it lifts, remove it. The surface must be free of oil, grease and other
contaminants. High-pressure water wash at 8.3 to 10.3 MPa (1,200 - 1,500 p.s.i.) to remove loosely
adhering chalk and dust.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read Data Sheet, Material Safety Data Sheet and any precautionary labels on containers.
Contents of container may be under pressure. Containers should be carefully opened by first placing a
rag, then a hand, over the lid then gently easing the lid off.
STORAGE Store as required for a flammable liquid Class 3 in a bunded area under cover. Store in well-ventilated
area away from sources of heat or ignition. Keep containers closed at all times.
HANDLING As with any chemical, ingestion, inhalation and prolonged or repeated skin contact should be avoided by
good occupational work practice. Eye protection approved to AS1337 should be worn where there is a
risk of splashes entering the eyes. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the
toilet.
USING Use with good ventilation and avoid inhalation of spray mists and fumes. If risk of inhalation of spray
mists exists, wear combined organic vapour/particulate respirator. When spray painting, users should
comply with the provisions of the respective State Spray Painting Regulations.
FLAMMABILITY This product is flammable. All sources of ignition must be eliminated in, or near the working area. DO
NOT SMOKE. Fight fire with foam, CO2 or dry chemical powder. On burning will emit toxic fumes.
WELDING Avoid inhalation of fumes if welding surfaces coated with this paint. Grind off coating before welding.
