Novol 90407 Zinc Primer Aerosol (400ml) – High-Performance Cold Galvanizing
The Novol 90407 Zinc Primer is a fast-drying, professional-grade aerosol designed for the ultimate anti-corrosive protection of steel and galvanized surfaces. This 400ml spray acts as a cold galvanizing agent, providing a zinc-rich coating that offers outstanding cathodic protection against rust and environmental degradation.
It is particularly valued in automotive restoration and industrial maintenance for its ability to protect welding seams and its compatibility with high-heat environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Cathodic Rust Protection: High zinc content creates a sacrificial layer that protects the base metal even if the coating is scratched.
- High Temperature Resistance: Specially formulated to withstand temperatures up to 350°C, making it suitable for engine components and exhaust-adjacent areas.
- Weld-Through Capability: Can be used as a "weld-through" primer, allowing for fusion welding of coated parts without compromising the integrity of the weld.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds powerfully to bare steel, sanded galvanized sheets, and aluminum.
- Weather & Chemical Resistance: Once cured, the film is highly resistant to petrol, salt, and harsh weather conditions.
- Fast Drying: Reaches a dust-free state in approximately 10–15 minutes, allowing for efficient workflow.
Professional Application Strategy
Because of the high density of the zinc particles, proper preparation and agitation are critical to prevent the nozzle from clogging and to ensure an even distribution of the protective metal.
Application Steps:
- Preparation: The surface must be completely clean, dry, and free from grease. Sand any existing rust down to bright metal (St3 or Sa2.5 standard).
- Agitation: Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after the mixing balls begin to rattle.
- Spraying: Apply in 2 to 3 thin, even layers from a distance of 25–30 cm. Avoid heavy, single coats to prevent sags.
- Overcoating: Once fully dry (approx. 24 hours), it can be overcoated with most automotive primer and topcoat systems.
- Valve Cleaning: After use, turn the can upside down and spray for 5 seconds until only clear gas emerges to clear the nozzle.
Expert Insight: For maximum protection on classic car restorations or heavy-duty repairs, use this as your first layer on bare metal seams before applying a seam sealer like Novol Gravit 630.
