These primers convert rust into a layer of protection that prevents new rust from forming. Use them to prepare your surface to extend the life of paint and coatings.

Apply coatings in a can with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Protect steel and iron parts from corrosion without having to remove the primer before welding them together. Often used on structural steel in demanding environments, these primers can be welded through without affecting the weld’s integrity.

Apply primers in a can with a brush or sprayer. They cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

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.

Epoxy primers have excellent abrasion resistance. Apply with a brush or roller. The container size listed is the combined total of the three parts.

Use these primers on your surface before antislip coatings to maximize longevity. They do not contain grit. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. They cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Extend the life of your paint and coatings on damage-prone metal surfaces. When scratched or worn, these primers release small capsules of uncured primer to provide continued corrosion resistance. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Primers cannot be sold to the listed regions due to regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Use these primers on metal surfaces in enclosed occupied areas, such as hospitals, schools, and offices. They have excellent resistance to moisture and corrosion and bond well to metal to extend the life of paint and coatings. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

These primers fill surface cracks and are sandable for a smooth basecoat. Use them to prepare your surface to extend the life of paint and coatings. Choose gray for light-color topcoats; red for medium-color topcoats; and black for dark topcoats.

Prepare metal, wood, and concrete for paint. Primers adhere to underlying surfaces to create a base layer that bonds well with paint for a long-lasting finish. They come in an aerosol can, so they’re good for quick jobs and touch-ups.

Use these primers in enclosed occupied areas, such as hospitals, schools, and offices. They cover stains and prepare your surface, extending the life of paint and coatings. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Acrylic primer prepares surfaces for paint.

Epoxy primer prepares surfaces for epoxy coatings. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Increase paint’s ability to bond to hard, smooth surfaces, such as tile and metal.

Acrylic primer is often used on previously painted hard, slick, or glossy surfaces. Use it indoors or out. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Epoxy primer is designed for use on floors to improve the longevity of paint and coatings. This low-odor primer can be used in enclosed occupied areas. For indoor use only. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Apply with a brush or roller.
