INOZINC
Description
INOZINC is a two-component water base inorganic zinc silicate primer.
Recommended Uses
INOZINC is recommended to be used directly to metal as a self-priming primer/coat to provide a long term protection of steel structures against corrosion. Typical uses are for structural steel, bridges, all marine and land-based oil and gas production facilities, and all steel structures exposed to severe weather conditions or exposed to moderate chemical spillage and fumes.
Features
• Excellent long-term performance without topcoating even in marine?environment.
• Single coat application is sufficient for excellent protection even on surfaces contaminated by firmly adherent rusts.
• Fast cure, water resistance and hardness are developed in 2 hours.
• Resistance to mud cracking even at 125 microns thickness.
• Easy to repair, low cost maintenance.
• Water base, equipment can be cleaned up with water.
• Self-inspecting over organic contaminants, film cracks and disbonds immediately if applied over a contaminated surface.
• Cost advantage over multi-coat systems.
• Suitable to be topcoated, when required, by epoxy coatings.
Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Conventional spray, nylon or polyester bruch for small area only. When applying INOZINC Primer it is important to keep the product stirred and to maintain a flow to prevent zinc settling in the spray lines. Also, it is vital to use spray equipment that has not been contaminated with organic solvents
• Mixing Ratio : 3Kg (Comp A) to 7Kg (Comp B)
• Mixing : Add Comp.B (powder) to Comp. A (liquid) and stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved. Never mix more material than can be used within potlife. Mixed materials not used within potlife must be discarded.
• Pot life : 8 hours (higher temperatures will shorten polife sharply).
• Thinner / Cleaner : Do not thin. Clean applying tools by hot water.
• Application Temperature : 5-40 ?C at a RH not more than 85% .
• Curing : The reaction between the two-component (A & B) can not be guaranteed unless a temperature of at least 5°C is maintained for the mixture and the substrate until complete curing. Temperature of substrate should be at least 3°C above dew point to avoid moisture condensation during application. Relative humidity during application and initial drying should not exceed 85%.
• Note : • Coated surfaces by INOZINC should not be exposed to water, chemical fumes, or mechanical stresses before it is fully cured.

Surface Preparation
Well-prepared-surfaces is an essential condition of coating successfulness. In general, surface must be clean, dry, undamaged and free of all contaminants prior to coating.
STEEL or GALVANIZING:
Remove all oil , grease, wax…etc from the surface to be coated by thinner S100 or S405.
Apply INOZINC as soon as possible after surface preparation to prevent any contamination.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 15 minutes (ASTM-D1640).
• Dry to Handle : 30 minutes (ASTM-D1640).
• Fully Cured : 2 hours
• Note : Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Relative humidity should not exceed 85%. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times.
Storing Conditions
• Keep components A & B in a cool and well ventilated place, protected from freeze, heat and direct sunlight.
• Shelf life is two years from packing date in unopened original containers at 5 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety:
• Well ventilated conditions should be provided during application.
• Do not breathe or inhale mist.
• Wear air-mask and avoid skin or eye contact.
• This Product is for professional use only. Not for residential use.
