Red Oxide Primer Paint - 380ml Aerosol

Red Oxide Primer is a fast-drying, anti-corrosive metal primer designed to protect ferrous substrates and improve adhesion of subsequent topcoats. It’s ideal for new steel and for maintenance work on prepared metal surfaces, delivering a tough, even base that resists rust and promotes long-term coating performance on site or in the workshop.. Key Features & Benefits. Anti-Corrosive Formula: Inhibits rust on ferrous metals for longer-lasting protection.. High Adhesion Base: Improves key for topcoats including alkyd, acrylic and polyurethane finishes.. Fast Drying: Enables quicker handling and recoat schedules in typical site conditions.. Smooth, Opaque Coverage: Levels well to create a consistent, easy-to-overcoat surface.. Interior & Exterior: Suitable for workshop fabrication and outdoor maintenance.. Product & Technical Details. Type: Red oxide anti-corrosive metal primer. Substrates: Ferrous metals (steel/iron) correctly prepared. Finish/Colour: Red oxide (matt/eggshell primer finish). Overcoat With: Compatible solvent- or water-based topcoats (check compatibility). Environment: Interior & exterior. Typical Uses: Gates, railings, structural steel, brackets, machinery guards, metalwork repairs. Suitable Applications. Priming new or prepared steel before decorative or industrial topcoats. Maintenance of railings, gates, fences and metal fixtures. Fabrication touch-up and protection of cut edges and drilled areas. Instructions for Use. Prepare surface: remove rust, scale and loose coatings to a sound, bright metal; abrade, degrease and dry.. Stir thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats by brush, roller or suitable spray.. Allow to dry fully between coats. Follow recommended recoat times and film build.. Test topcoat compatibility on a small area before full application.. Limitations & Precautions.
