Zero Rust High Solid DTM Primer 1 Gallon

Zero Rust High Solid DTM Primer is a direct-to-metal (DTM) rust and corrosion control primer. It is a high-solids, phenolic-modified alkyd coating that forms a durable, oxygen-blocking barrier directly on steel. Cutting off oxygen and moisture at the metal surface helps stop rust at its source. That makes it a good rust-inhibitive primer for steel and other metal surfaces.

Key Features:

• Direct-to-metal: Apply to bare or prepared metal with no separate primer.
• Rust control: It forms an impermeable barrier that isolates the steel from the electrolytic process that turns steel into rust.
• Single-component, air-dry system: No mixing or hardeners are needed.
• High solids, low VOC: The formula gives strong coverage while meeting low-VOC requirements.
• Lead-free and isocyanate-free: It is safer and easier to use.
• Salt spray tested: Manufacturer testing reports over 2,000 hours of resistance under ASTM B117.
• No sandblasting required: It adheres well to fully or marginally prepared surfaces, including lightly rusted or previously painted metal.
• Flexible application: Brush, roll, or spray it on.
• Topcoats optional: Use it as a stand-alone coating or as a primer under compatible finishes.

It suits new and weathered steel, railings, decorative fixtures, barns and outbuildings, and metal furniture. It is not recommended for surfaces that will be continuously submerged in water.
