INTRODUCTION TO ANTI-CORROSION PRIMER

To completely protect outdoor or indoor metal surfaces, the anti-corrosion primer is an effective solution that cannot be ignored. If you are still confused about these product lines, don’t miss this article from Mega Vietnam!

1. Definition

Anti-corrosion primer is a kind of paint with good adhesion. It protects iron and steel structures from corrosive agents, keeps the surface durable and shiny, and is specialized for industrial use. and individual uses (machinery steel, railway rails, doors, etc.).

The main component of anti-rust primer is usually alkyd resin or epoxy, suitable for each traditional steel or galvanized metal surface. As a result, the paint has high resistance and strong protection in corrosive environments.

2. The benefit of anti-corrosion primer

Sometimes, to shorten construction time or reduce investment costs, we skip anti-rust primers which not only affects the quality of the product structure but also increases maintenance costs. Without an anti-corrosion primer, there will be some problems as follows:

- Rusted metal surface

Normally, the coating has no corrosion resistance or low resistance to rust. Hence, without an internal anti-rust primer, oxidation soon creates rust marks on the metal.

- Peeling coating

Without a primer, the adhesion of the topcoat will gradually decrease and peeling will occur which negatively impacts the atheistic. 

- Extra cost

The paint coating directly on the metal surface can be up to 2-3 new layers to evenly cover, smooth the metal surface. Without primers, you will have to spend much more time and money on a topcoat to completely cover the surface.

Thus, the anti-rust primer plays an important role in all construction projects. To clarify, we will show you three benefit of this paint:

Corrosion resistance 

This is an extremely important function to help increase the life of metal products. Anti-corrosion primers cover the surface, effectively preventing corrosion and protecting the metal from external factors such as rain, sun, temperature, humidity, or erratic changes in weather.

Improve aesthetic 

Primer enhances the adhesion between the color coatings on the metal surface. 

Therefore, even the smallest items in your home such as iron bars, gate doors, iron and steel door fences, steel truss frames, etc need to be painted with anti-corrosion primer carefully to be protected and at the same time maintain the color of the steel structure over time.

Save cost

Sau khi sử dụng sơn lót, bề mặt kim loại trở nên mịn và bằng phẳng hơn. Khi đó, bạn chỉ cần 1 - 2 lớp sơn phủ tiếp theo để hoàn thiện sản phẩm mà không cần phủ quá nhiều so với việc không dùng sơn lót. Điều này tiết kiệm một phần giá thành đầu tư.

After using primers, the metal surface becomes smoother and flatter. Then you only need one or two topcoat layers to complete the painting which saves a part of the investment cost.

Anti-corrosion prime

Currently, Mega Chemical Vietnam has been widely developing a set of raw materials for anti-corrosion primers, oil paints with resin imported from large brands such as Qualimer, Eternal. There are also other product lines that Mega is developing such as zinc powder (used to prevent rust for boat paint), zinc oxide, and acrylic resin. With high-quality products and an experienced technical team, Mega is always a reliable partner and accompanies you to success.
