What is a Zinc rich primer?

Zinc-rich primer is a type of primer that contains a high concentration of zinc powder, used as an undercoat to protect metal surfaces. This primer is applied as the first layer to metals such as steel and iron to protect them from rust and corrosion. The zinc’s corrosion-resistant properties are embedded in the coating, providing excellent protection to the metal surface. It is especially suitable for use in harsh environments such as areas exposed to high humidity, coastal areas, or chemicals. When used in conjunction with topcoats, zinc-rich primers enhance the durability of metals and offer long-lasting protection.

Application of Zinc rich primer

✅ Steel Structures in Construction
Zinc-rich primer is applied to steel structures in construction sites to ensure long-term corrosion resistance. It is particularly effective in areas with high humidity or coastal regions.
✅ Marine Equipment Protection
For ships and offshore platforms, zinc-rich primer is used to prevent corrosion caused by saltwater and seawind, providing essential protection in harsh marine environments.
✅ Bridge Coatings
Zinc-rich primer is applied to the metal components of bridges, offering protection from moisture and atmospheric corrosive elements, ensuring durability for extended periods.
