Aqua-Prime is a quality, 100% acrylic DTM, (direct to metal) water-based primer which offers excellent adhesion and fast dry and cure time.
It may be used in areas where solvent fumes are a problem or where ecological concerns dictate. May be top coated with conventional alkyd, oil based and latex paints. It also may be used as a bonding coat over zinc rich primers. Provides protection from rust bleed and flash rust.
An excellent choice for galvanized and aluminum metal.

For surfaces that require additional insulation such as steel storage tanks, up to 32 oz per gallon of   Insulating Additive for Paint may be added.
