AR-61QT-CA High Solid Zero Rust Primer, 1 qt Aerosol Can, Gr - Zero Rust

The Zero Rust AR-61QT-CA High Solid Zero Rust Primer is a professional-grade, direct-to-metal (DTM) coating engineered to provide robust rust and corrosion control for automotive and industrial applications. This phenolic-modified alkyd primer creates an impermeable barrier at the steel level, effectively isolating the metal from the electrolysis process that leads to rust formation. It offers exceptional adhesion and protection, making it a reliable solution for demanding projects.

Key Features

• Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Application: Designed for direct application to bare or minimally prepared metal surfaces, eliminating the need for extensive surface preparation such as sandblasting.
• Superior Rust and Corrosion Control: Forms a dense, impermeable barrier that actively blocks moisture and oxygen from reaching the steel, halting the rust process at its source.
• Single-Package, Air-Dry System: This easy-to-use formulation requires no mixing with hardeners or activators, simplifying application for professional technicians.
• Lead and Isocyanate-Free: Provides a safer working environment without hazardous lead or isocyanate compounds.
• Exceptional Durability: Exceeds 2000 hours in ASTM B117 salt spray testing, demonstrating high resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Offers long-lasting protection with reduced labor due to minimal surface preparation requirements.

Applications

The AR-61QT-CA High Solid Zero Rust Primer is ideal for a wide range of professional automotive and industrial maintenance tasks. It is suitable for new and old steel, rusty surfaces, and partially painted metal. Common uses include auto restoration projects, protecting vehicle chassis and frames, industrial equipment, metal railings, agricultural machinery, and various other steel and cast iron substrates where long-term rust prevention is critical. This primer is not recommended for submersion applications unless top-coated and cured.
