Green Zinc Phosphate Primer - Seymour

The Seymour 16-899 Green Zinc Phosphate Primer is a professional-grade corrosion-control coating formulated for effective metal preparation in demanding automotive, industrial, and fleet environments. This specialized phosphate primer establishes a durable foundation for various topcoats, providing long-term rust prevention on new fabrications, repairs, and restorations, which is crucial for maintaining vehicle and equipment integrity.

Key Features

• Active Corrosion Inhibition: This chromate-free phosphate primer is formulated with active zinc phosphate pigments that chemically bond with aluminum and steel, effectively inhibiting rust on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It provides a robust protective barrier against rust and corrosion, exceeding 800 hours in the 5% ASTM B117 salt spray test for superior protection.
• Superior Adhesion: Engineered to provide strong adhesion to properly prepared bare metal, blasted steel, aluminum, and galvanized surfaces, this primer minimizes peeling and enhances topcoat durability in professional applications.
• Efficient Drying Formula: With a fast-drying time of 10 minutes to touch and a recoat time of 30 minutes, this formula optimizes workflow in professional shops, reducing downtime between metal preparation, priming, and final color application.
• Visual Coverage Indicator: The distinct green tint provides a clear visual cue for coverage, assisting technicians in achieving an even film build on complex parts, suspension components, and tight areas, ensuring thorough protection.
• Broad Topcoat Compatibility: This primer creates a stable and compatible base for a wide range of professional topcoat systems, including urethane, enamel, and two-component epoxy finishes commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

Applications

This robust phosphate primer is suitable for various professional applications, including:

• Automotive restoration projects, such as frames, floor pans, chassis components, and underbody parts.
• Fleet and trailer maintenance and repair.
• Industrial machinery and fabricated steel components.
• Agricultural equipment and heavy-duty vehicles.
• Marine environments and metal fixtures exposed to moisture, road salt, or chemicals, offering excellent resistance to seacoast exposure.
