What is an Industrial Primer?

What’s the Difference Between Paint and an Industrial Primer?

Paint is often comprised of resin pigments, while primers themselves are resins. The primary function of an industrial primer is to provide a protective barrier between the paint and metal surface. The resins inside primers seal porous metal surfaces to offer a durable protective undercoating.

  • OEM & shop use
  • Offshore structures
  • General maintenance
  • Bridges
  • Structural steel
  • Storage tanks
  • Machinery
