About Structural Adhesives

About Paint and Protective Coatings

These primers stand up to marine exposure and salt spray. Use them to prepare your surface to extend the life of paint and coatings.

Galvanizing Zinc Primers for Metal

A high concentration of zinc gives these primers excellent corrosion resistance for protecting steel—when exposed to moisture and chemicals, the zinc rusts before the underlying steel can. They’re often used with structural steel to prepare the surface for paint while forming a protective layer.

Polyurethane primers can be applied in environments with high humidity. They allow underlying moisture to escape while preventing additional water from getting in. Surface must be visibly dry and free of frost and ice. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Primers for Threadlockers, Retaining Compounds, and Acrylic Adhesives

To speed cure time on coated fasteners, aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium, apply these primers before using threadlocker or retaining compound. They also work with no-mix acrylic adhesives.

Primers in brush-top bottles also include a spray head for easy dispensing.

Wicking Threadlockers

Apply these threadlockers on fasteners that are already installed—their thin consistency allows them to flow into small gaps. They begin to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked.

Retaining Compounds for Close-Fitting Parts

Fill gaps up to 0.01" to secure unthreaded cylindrical metal parts such as shafts, bearings, and press-fit assemblies. These retaining compounds begin to harden once coated surfaces are pressed together, blocking exposure to air.

Primer (sold separately) cleans the surface and decreases the time to reach full strength. It is recommended when working with aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium; black-oxide finishes, and cadmium and zinc coatings.
