    Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Paint Primers. Galvanizing Zinc Paint Primers for Metal.
    A high concentration of zinc gives these paint 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. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
    Epoxy—Epoxy paint primers have excellent abrasion resistance. The container size listed is the combined total of the three parts.
    Polyurethane Rubber—Polyurethane rubber paint 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.

    Protective Coating Primers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Protective Coating Primers.
    Prepare metal surfaces for powder coating. These primers create a base layer that bonds with your top coat to extend the life of your powder coating. Use a powder coating sprayer to apply these primers directly to unpainted metal and cure in an oven.
    Zinc-Rich Epoxy—Zinc-rich epoxy primers have excellent corrosion resistance, so they’re often used to protect metal that rusts easily, such as steel and cast iron.
