Features:

Rust-Inhibiting Formula: Our Oil-Based Oxide Primer is specially formulated with powerful rust-inhibiting properties to provide robust, long-lasting protection against corrosion and oxidation on metal surfaces. By forming a strong barrier that seals out moisture and prevents rust formation, this primer significantly extends the life of your metalwork while maintaining its appearance over time.

Enhanced Adhesion: Engineered for superior adhesion, our oxide primer ensures strong bonding between the substrate and the topcoat, delivering excellent durability and performance. Suitable for bare metal, weathered steel, or previously painted surfaces, it creates a solid foundation that enhances the longevity and effectiveness of your finishing coats.

Versatile Compatibility: This oil-based oxide primer is compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including mild steel, wrought iron, and industrial fabrications. Whether used on fencing, gates, structural steel, automotive parts, or machinery, it provides reliable adhesion and corrosion protection in both domestic and industrial applications.

Durable Oil-Based Protection: Unlike water-based alternatives, our oil-based formula penetrates deeply into surfaces, offering superior long-term protection against harsh weather and demanding environments. It cures to a tough, flexible finish that resists peeling, flaking, and cracking.

Application & Drying: With its smooth, easy-to-apply consistency, this primer can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed for even coverage. Touch dry in approximately 6–8 hours (depending on conditions) and ready for overcoating after 16–24 hours. Ideal when a robust, durable basecoat is required for high-performance finishes.

VOC Information: As an oil-based coating, this primer contains higher levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than water-based alternatives. Adequate ventilation must be ensured during application and drying, particularly when used indoors. Users are advised to wear appropriate PPE such as masks and gloves. Once fully cured, the coating is safe and durable, providing a strong and lasting protective finish.
