Carbozinc 859 is a two-component, low VOC (volatile organic compound) organic zinc-rich epoxy primer manufactured by Carboline. It’s designed to protect steel surfaces from corrosion by providing a durable, zinc-based coating that acts as a sacrificial anode, corroding in place of the steel and is available in green or gray colors.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Ratio: 1:1 (A to B)

Power mix base, then combine and power mix as follows. Pour zinc filler very slowly into premixed base with continuous agitation. Mix until free of lumps. Pour mixture through a 30 mesh screen. Sifting zinc through a screen will aid in the mixing process by breaking up or catching dry zinc lumps.
DO NOT MIX PARTIAL KITS.

THINNING

Normally not required but may be thinned up to 13 oz/gal (106.8 g/l) (10%) with Thinner 2, Thinner 76 or Thinner 236E. In hot or windy conditions, may be thinned up to 13 oz/gal (106.8 g/l) with Thinner 33. Use of thinners other than those supplied by Carboline may adversely affect product performance and void product warranty, whether expressed or implied.
