PERFORMANCE / ZERO RUST

Continued refinement of the Zero Rust formula has netted ASTM-B117 salt spray testing results exceeding 2000 hours at 3.5 mils dry film thickness (dft). This equated to 600 hours per dry mil, which was previously unheard of in an air-dry system. The effectiveness of Zero Rust on bare steel surfaces is optimized at 3.0 to 3.5 mils dft over profile.

Rule of thumb: Zero Rust should provide five years protection for every 3 mils dft, given proper surface preparation. With the addition of a topcoat or a thicker film of Zero Rust to take the ultraviolet rays, sealing protection can easily double. Zero Rust can withstand intermittent temperatures of 250-300 degrees before the resin starts baking out (heat resistance will vary by color). Maintenance of a Zero Rust paint job is easy – just scuff surface with sandpaper before recoating.
