Rustoleum - Cold Galvanizer 1085 is a fast drying, zinc rich primer based on an epoxy ester resin. Contains pure zinc as pigment and provides cathodic protection to metal to protect against rust.

Recommended Use

1085 Cold Galvanizing should be used on new, bare steel, blasted steel or galvanized steel surfaces. 1085 is primarily intended for brush application on small areas or for touch-up. Can be recoated with non-saponifiable coatings. 1085 should be used as a primer or as a single coat in light industrial exposures, corrosive environments and high humidity areas. Zinc content: 90% by weight in the dry film.

Surface Preparation

Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. For optimum results remove rust, rust scale, mill scale and deteriorated coatings by abrasive blasting to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1 : 1988), blast profile max. 50 µm. The surface must be clean and dry during application.

Directions For Use

To ensure homogeneity, coating materials should be thoroughly stirred prior to use. To avoid settlement of the zinc pigments on the bottom of the can stir regularly during application.

Application Conditions

Temperature of air, substrate and coating material between 5 and 35°C and relative humidity below85%. The substrate temperature must be at least 3°C above dewpoint.

Application & Thinning: Brush

Up to 5% volume RUST-OLEUM Thinner 160. Use natural bristles, long hair brushes.

Application & Thinning: Aerosol

Remove cover cap. Shake vigorously for at least one minute after the rattle of mixing ball isheard. Shake frequently during use. Hold can at least 25 cm from surface. Use back and forth motion keeping can parallel with surface. Ensure that can is in motion when spray button is pressed to avoid runs and sags. Apply several thin layers at a few minutes interval to achieve adequate coating thickness. After use turn can upside down and press spray button for 2 - 3 seconds to clean valve.
