- Substrates
ZincGard 1500 is applied directly to properly prepared steel as the primer. Direct contact with the steel substrate is required to provide optimal galvanic protection to the underlying steel surface.
- Topcoats
ZincGard 1500 is an easy to coat primer using either an epoxy or urethane. EpoxyGrip 2000 is the recommended epoxy topcoat for a two-coat application. EpoxyGrip 2100 can be used as an intermediate coat when added protection is required. UreGrip 3300 is recommended as a direct topcoat to ZincGard 1500. UreGrip 3000 is recommended as the final coating over the epoxy or urethane intermediate when a high gloss finish is desired.
- Pot Life
Six hours at 75° and less at higher temperatures.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Qualifications
ZincGard 1500 meets Class “B” requirements for slip co-efficient and creep resistance as set forth in the Specification for Structural Joints using A325 or A490 Bolts, in accordance with Research Council on Structural Connections, Appendix A. Exceed requirements of SSPC-PS 12.00
Technical Details & Test Data
- Resistance
ZincGard 1500 prevents rusting of steel in a corrosive environment with a pH range of 5 to 9. Topcoats should be used for pH beyond these limits. When topcoated, ZincGard 1500 effectively reduces undercutting from a damaged area. The following is a guide to the proper selection:
