Tempo Aviation Zinc Phosphate Yellow Primer, A-701, 2oz Aerosol, Case of 6 for Bare Aluminium and Steel Surface Corrosion Protection Before Topcoat
Applying a topcoat directly to bare aluminium or steel without a corrosion-inhibiting primer leaves the metal surface exposed to the moisture and environmental attack that begins working under the paint from the moment it is applied. Supplied by JHEARs Aerospace, Tempo A-701 zinc phosphate primer is the corrosion-inhibiting foundation coat that goes on bare metal surfaces before topcoat during aircraft repair and refinishing work, laying down the chemical barrier that prevents corrosion from initiating and spreading under the paint system. The zinc phosphate formulation is a proven standard across GA repair, panel replacement, and refinishing applications where the primer specification is as important as the topcoat above it.
In a 2oz aerosol format, each can provides a practical quantity for spot priming repaired areas, touch-up work, and small panel applications without the setup and cleanup requirements of spray gun application. The case of six provides a working stock quantity for maintenance operations, repair shops, and owner-operators who perform regular touch-up and refinishing work and need the primer on hand without repeatedly sourcing single cans.
Spec: Tempo Aviation Zinc Phosphate Primer, yellow, A-701. 2oz aerosol, case of 6 cans. Corrosion-inhibiting zinc phosphate formula for bare aluminium and steel surfaces. For use as primer coat before topcoat application in aircraft repair and refinishing applications.
Who this is for: Aircraft mechanics and engineers priming repaired panels, replaced skins, and bare metal surfaces before topcoat application during maintenance and repair work, owner-operators performing their own touch-up and refinishing work on GA aircraft, and repair shops stocking corrosion-inhibiting primer in a convenient aerosol format for spot priming and small area applications.
FAQ
Is zinc phosphate primer suitable for use on aluminium alloy aircraft skins?
Yes. Zinc phosphate primer is widely used on aluminium alloy surfaces in GA aircraft repair and refinishing applications as a corrosion-inhibiting base coat before topcoat. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oxidation before application for best adhesion and corrosion protection performance.
Does the A-701 primer require a specific topcoat system to be applied over it?
Zinc phosphate primer is compatible with most standard aircraft topcoat systems including polyurethane and enamel finishes used in GA refinishing work. Verify compatibility between the primer and your specific topcoat product before application, and follow the topcoat manufacturer's guidance on required dry time and surface preparation between primer and topcoat coats.
How many square inches does one 2oz aerosol can cover?
Coverage from a 2oz aerosol is sufficient for spot priming and small repair area applications. For larger panel areas or full section refinishing, multiple cans will be required. The case of six provides a practical stock quantity for operations with regular priming requirements across multiple repair tasks.
Why should I purchase my aviation primers from JHEARs Aerospace?
At JHEARs Aerospace, we supply aviation-specific primers and finishing products selected for professional use in aircraft repair and refinishing applications. Our range is chosen to give mechanics and owner-operators the correct, specification-appropriate primer products for the corrosion protection their aircraft repair work demands.
