Rust-oleum 9801501 Low Temperature Activator 1L

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 9801501 is a 1-liter low temperature activator formulated for use with compatible coating systems in cold-weather application conditions. It functions as a chemical hardener or catalyst that enables proper film formation and cure when ambient or substrate temperatures drop toward the lower end of the application window. The product carries a VOC content below 340 grams per liter and provides a coverage rate of 162 to 274 square feet per gallon depending on substrate condition and application method. Licensed coating applicators and industrial painters working in cool or transitional-season environments use this activator to maintain coating performance without waiting for warmer conditions.

This activator is suited for industrial, commercial, and maintenance coating projects where work must proceed at ambient temperatures as low as 40 degrees F. It is intended for use as part of a multi-component coating system, mixed at the job site with a compatible base coat prior to application. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment, and other surfaces where a durable topcoat must be applied outside of standard warm-weather conditions.

Compatibility

Designed for use as a low temperature activator with compatible RUST-OLEUM multi-component coating systems. Verify compatibility with the specific base coat product before mixing.

Installation Notes

Mixing and application should be performed by qualified coating applicators familiar with multi-component systems. Power down or de-energize any equipment being coated before surface preparation or application begins. Follow all local VOC regulations and applicable safety data sheet guidance for ventilation, PPE, and waste disposal. Do not apply to wet or contaminated surfaces, and do not exceed the maximum application temperature of 100 degrees F.
