Ideal for use on: New and weathered steel, Rusty or partially rusted surfaces, Previously painted metal, Decorative fixtures, railings, barns, and metal furniture. Note: Not intended for use on surfaces that will be submerged in water for extended periods.
Exceptional Rust Control – Forms an impermeable barrier that stops rust at the steel level. Direct-to-Metal (DTM) – Apply directly to bare or prepared metal surfaces
Single-Component, Air-Dry System – No mixing or complex application required
High Solids, Low VOC – Complies with environmental regulations while offering superior coverage
Over 2,000 Hours of Salt Spray Resistance – Proven performance in ASTM B117 testing
No Sandblasting Required – Excellent adhesion to fully or marginally prepared surfaces
Cost-Effective Solution – Long-lasting protection with minimal surface prep. Easy to Apply – Brush, roll, or spray for quick and efficient application
Description
Zero Rust Primer is a high-solids, phenolic-modified alkyd coating formulated to prevent rust and corrosion by forming a durable, oxygen-blocking barrier directly on steel surfaces. This primer delivers superior adhesion to both new and aged metal, cutting off oxygen to halt the rusting process at its source. Free of lead and isocyanates, Zero Rust Primer is safe and easy to apply, even over marginally prepared or partially rusted surfaces. It is a single-component, air-dry system that outperforms expectations, surpassing 2,000 hours in ASTM B117 salt spray testing for corrosion resistance.
