Rust-Inhibiting Oxide Primer for Metal & Wood

This oil-based oxide primer prepares properly cleaned metal and timber for a compatible finishing system. Its rust-inhibiting formulation supports corrosion protection on steel while promoting adhesion between the prepared substrate and subsequent topcoats.

Technical specification

Surface preparation

Remove oil, grease, dirt, salts, loose coatings and corrosion. Feather firmly bonded paint edges and abrade smooth surfaces to provide a key. The substrate must be clean, dry and structurally sound. Check that any retained coating is compatible with both the primer and the intended finish. Timber should be dry, clean and prepared for the selected coating system.

Application guidance

Stir thoroughly before use and during application. Apply a continuous, even primer film, working carefully around edges, welds, fixings and other corrosion-prone details. Avoid excessive build, missed areas and application onto damp or contaminated surfaces. Use white spirit for thinning only where directed by the current product guidance.

Topcoating and coverage planning

Use the approximate 8 m²/L figure to estimate one coat, allowing extra material for rough, porous or complex surfaces. Apply a compatible topcoat within the product’s stated overcoating window. Primer shade is not a substitute for the specified finish colour, and this primer should not be treated as the final decorative weathering coat.

Use and safety

Drying and overcoating times vary with temperature, humidity, ventilation, substrate and film thickness. Follow the current label, technical guidance and safety information. Provide suitable ventilation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment and keep the container securely closed when not in use.
