High performance industrial primers for materials

One of the products on which the most constraints and requirements are based in the world of industrial paint for materials is the primer, also known as primer. In the field of industry, in particular machinery, machinery and factory equipment, the level of requirement is maximum because the parts are subjected to intense use, several hours a day and must be protected and ensure the same level. of performance, for years of use.

It is on the primer coat of the industrial paint that all the confidence and the guarantee of the paint system rests : all the other layers of paint and finish will be doomed to peel off in the event of shock, pressure, abrasion, if the primer does not perform its role of adhesion to the support. In the world of industrial painting, we mainly work on metals, and sometimes non-ferrous metal surfaces that are very difficult to approach, for example stainless steel or galvanized.

The industrial primer has a dual role, both to prevent corrosion by air and water, and to promote adhesion, as little paint can adhere directly to bare metal.

High performance primers for materials

Under certain conditions, the performance of the primer coat is put to very severe test, for example with high rotation speeds, very high temperature conditions, exposure to chemicals and hydrocarbons, or permanent diving in water or saline environments.

In such cases, it is necessary to use so-called very high performance primers : in the current field of our knowledge, two-component epoxy products provide the best reliability and the best grip level.

Compared to other highly effective professional products, industrial epoxy primers beat all adhesion records, especially on metals, and are also extraordinarily resistant products in terms of hardness and durability. The P292 industrial primer is surely one of the best primers for metals in the world.

In areas where classic industrial paint is used, we remind you that it is not necessary to use such high-performance products because simple anti-corrosion primers already provide excellent adhesion and adhesion properties. protection of metal supports, at a lower cost.

Mandatory conditions for the effective application of a primer

In the world of painting in general, and especially in the world of industrial painting, the preparation before painting, which includes the application of the primer, includes a very important phase, which is the preparation of the support :

Indeed, there is no point in using the best primer in the world if the surface is not properly cleaned according to the rules of the art of painting : it is essential to have a dry and healthy support, this means free of any dust or contamination, such as silicones or grease residue or even moisture.

The preparation of industrial parts in the marine environment

Some pigments present in paints and anti-corrosion primers have extremely effective properties, both preventive and curative, against oxidation, that is to say rust, this evil that attacks metals.
In maritime environments, there is what is called a saline mist which is a very aggravating factor for oxidation and which creates a very accelerated aging of all materials. When painting a surface, moisture and salt can infiltrate all sorts of ways and reach under the primer despite all precautions. In such cases, we recommend the application of a high thickness epoxy primer for metals, and not just simple one-component metal primers.
