Rust-Oleum 1060/1080 High Build Metal Primer is for extra protection of bare or blasted metal, offers maximum durability under severely corrosive conditions. Should be used on new, blasted steel surfaces or on surfaces primed with Rust-Oleum metal primers. Rust-Oleum 1060/1080 High Build Metal Primer assures appropriate protection under light industrial exposure conditions, if applied on a Rust-Oleum metal primer followed by Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane.

Features & Benefits

• Protects up to C4 corrosion class with Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane topcoat
• High build primer (60 micron)
• High content of rust-inhibiting pigments
• Lasting flexibility
• Tintable in virtually any colour

PLEASE NOTE: Colours in this product are intended for use to improve coverage and performance of the compatible topcoats ONLY. Mixed RAL colours in this product will NOT be accurate, they simply provide a suitable base for the same RAL colour topcoat to be applied.

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. Sand previous coatings which are in good condition to roughen the surface slightly. The surface must be clean and dry during application.

Application Conditions

Temperature of air, substrate and coating material between 5 and 35°C and relative humidity below 85%. The substrate temperature must be at least 3°C above dew point.
