 Strututral Steel Members

 Galvanize and Aluzinc Roof Sheeting

 Wrougt Iron Works

 Under Body of Vehicles

 Appliances such as Washing Machines, Dryers, Refrigerators, Freezers, Stoves etc.

Zinc-It also affords the following:
 Industrial strength protection against corrosion

 Prevent moisture from penetrating and rust developing.

 Outlasts traditional red oxide products by as much as three (3) times longer

 Resistant to abrasion

 Withstands temperatures up to 350oF

 Ready to use, straight out of the can

 Surface preparation: Light Duty – Wire Brushing Severe Duty – Abrasive Blasting


Zinc-It is a superior product that will provide longer lasting protection against corrosion.
This product is not recommended for:
 Contact with potable water

 Strong acids or Strong alkalis

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


  1. Remove loose heavy rust by chipping, wire brushing, chemical cleaning or abrasive blasting.

  2. Ensure prepared surface is dry and free from grease, dirt or other contaminants.

  3. Stir the contents thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous mixture before applying.

  4. Application may be done using a brush or airless spray. Note: if a brush is used, the strokes should be crossed perpendicular to each other
