galvanized steel, and most metal primers. Corashield® is formulated to give very good corrosion protection.

This medium viscosity, sag resistant coating can be easily sprayed onto exposed underbody areas, and into

restricted areas such as tubing and "hidden” areas accessible only with spray wands.

Corashield® dries quickly at ambient temperatures and will withstand urethane paint bakes after only 30 min

drying at room temperature.

Corashield® provides better protection than any of the competitive products tested without the environmental

and safety problems inherent in many of the under coatings available today. Y___N___
