Lucas #1019 Rust Primer – Water-Based is a 100% acrylic corrosion inhibiting primer intended for the preparation of rusty metal roofs and walls prior to installation of Lucas acrylic roof and wall coatings. Its light yellow color changes to a darker amber hue as it dries, providing visual confirmation of cure readiness for the top coatings.

Key Features & Design

• 100% acrylic corrosion inhibiting primer intended for the preparation of rusty metal roofs and walls prior to installation of Lucas acrylic roof and wall coatings.
• Its light yellow color changes to a darker amber hue as the coating dries.
• It is formulated to a relatively thin viscosity and low surface tension allowing for complete penetration and encapsulation of surface rust.
• Application: Mechanically mix before using.
• Do not store above 90ºF.
• Apply only at temperatures above 40ºF and rising with less than 90% humidity and no threat of rain for 48 hours.
• Surfaces must be power washed clean with a suitable residue-free detergent such as Lucas #115.
• The surface may be damp but must be free of standing water.
• Surface temperatures should be under 100ºF to avoid premature curing.
• If roof surface is hot, apply a light water spray to reduce its temperature.
• Apply with a soft bristle brush, roller or suitable spray equipment at the rate of 1/2 to 3/4 gallon per 100 sq. ft.
• Drying time is 1 to 2 hours.
• Two additional coats of Lucas Elastomeric Roof Coating at 1.25 to 1.5 gallons per sq. ft. each is required to achieve a thickness of 20 to 30 mils.
• The first top coat should be #1000BC which is light gray in color.
• Shelf Life: One year from the date of manufacture.
