Zinc metal putty: performance, adhesion and resistance for professional bodywork:
Description of zinc metal putty:
Zinc metal putty is a high-performance, two-component polyester putty formulated to offer exceptional adhesion to metals such as steel, galvanised sheet metal, zinc and aluminium. Thanks to its zinc powder content, this product combines the benefits of a filler putty with enhanced corrosion protection, ideal for long-lasting repairs to car bodywork.
Suitable for use as a primer or filler on metal surfaces, it guarantees a solid, stable and long-lasting repair, even under demanding conditions.
Technical characteristics of zinc metal putty:
- Excellent adhesion to metals: steel, galvanised sheet metal, aluminium, zinc
- Formulation enriched with zinc powder: provides effective anti-corrosion protection for metal substrates
- High mechanical and thermal resistance: ideal for repairs subject to stress
- Fast drying: saves time in the workshop and increases productivity
- Homogeneous texture: fluid application, easy to spread with a spatula, without bubbles or pores
- Optimised sandability: easy to sand after curing, for an even, ready-to-paint surface
- Metallic grey colour: for easy visual inspection and blends in perfectly with metal substrates
Benefits for bodywork professionals :
- Long-lasting corrosion protection: thanks to the presence of zinc, the Putty acts as a protective barrier against rust and moisture
- Versatile use: suitable for both deep repairs and surface Touch up on all types of metal
- Excellent adhesion to galvanised surfaces: prevents delamination or blistering, even after painting
- Time-saving preparation: fast drying and easy sanding, ideal for intensive workshop workflows
- Professional finish: smooth, uniform and stable surface, guaranteeing a perfect finish after application of primer and paint
Why choose a zinc metal putty?
Zinc metal putty differs from Universal or aluminium putties in its specific anti-corrosion formulation. It is particularly recommended for :
- Bodywork areas exposed to humidity or water splashes
- Galvanised substrates where conventional putties do not adhere well
- Structural repairs requiring excellent cohesion and resistance over time.
By choosing a quality zinc metal putty, bodybuilders can ensure that their repairs are more durable, have optimum adhesion and provide effective protection against corrosion.
Putty zinc is the ideal solution for demanding body repairers looking for a tough, protective and easy-to-use product. Its zinc-based formulation guarantees long-lasting corrosion protection, perfect adhesion to all types of metal and an impeccable finish before painting.
A must-have for professional quality repairs, where performance and reliability go hand in hand.
How to use zinc metal putty in bodywork?
1. Preparation of the bodywork surface:
- Thoroughly clean and degrease the area to be repaired with a water-based degreaser or suitable solvent.
- Sand the surface: to remove rust, paint and impurities
- Remove dust with a clean, dry cloth
Putty metal zinc should only be applied to a clean, bare metal surface. Avoid varnished or poorly prepared surfaces.
2. Preparation:
Putty zinc metal is a two-component product and must be mixed with a Hardener: 100 parts Putty to 2 to 3 parts Hardener.
Place the required quantity of Putty on a clean mixing plate. Add the Hardener and mix vigorously with a spatula until you obtain a uniform colour without streaks.
Caution: too much Hardener speeds up drying and can weaken the Putty. Conversely, too little Hardener will prevent complete hardening.
3. Applying zinc metal putty :
Once the mixture is ready, apply the product immediately:
- Use a clean, flexible metal spatula
- Spread the Putty in thin, even layers to avoid air bubbles.
- If the repair is deep, make several successive passes, allowing it to harden between each application.
Zinc metal putty can be used as a first coat on bare metal before a Universal putty or Topcoat, to reinforce corrosion protection.
4. Drying time :
Drying time varies according to temperature and the quantity of Hardener used:
- At 20°C, drying time is approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
- It can be accelerated slightly at 40-50°C in the spray booth, without exceeding the temperatures recommended by the manufacturer. It is important that the Putty is fully cured before sanding.
5. Sanding stage :
Once dry, proceed with sanding the metal zinc putty to obtain a perfectly flat surface.
- Rough sanding: P80 to P120 grit
- Finishing sanding: grit P180 to P240 before applying the Primer
Despite its high resistance, Putty zinc metal is easy to sand, so you can quickly obtain a smooth, even surface.
6. Painting:
After Sanding :
- Remove dust carefully from the area
- Apply a compatible filling primer
- Finish with the finishing paint
Zinc metal putty is available to provide a stable base, good adhesion and protection against corrosion, guaranteeing a long-lasting, professional result.
The correct use of zinc metal putty guarantees a solid, protected and long-lasting repair on all bodywork parts. Thanks to its zinc-enriched formulation, this product offers high, reliable adhesion and corrosion resistance on bodywork components, while remaining simple to apply and easy to mix in a professional environment.
This product is a must-have for the bodywork industry, providing performance, reliability and a quality finish.
