What are Red Oxide Metal Primers? & Benefits Red oxide metal primers act as a preparation or protective coating that prevents ferrous metal surfaces from rusting when in contact with moisture and air. The primer used for gates, railings and outdoor equipment is applied to the rusted surface before applying the topcoat. Red oxide metal primers are different types of base paints that prevent steel from rusting, as non-coated steel rusts faster. Instead of resting on the surface, the primer chemically binds the steel so that it will not chip.
Red oxide metal primers Benefits of Red Oxide Metal Primers ● Acts as a binding medium for paint coatings. ● To smooth the surface red oxide zinc chromate primers can be applied to the porous material so that the latter coatings give the best results. ● Its anti-corrosion properties eliminate the possibility of corrosion on the surface of ferrous metals. ● Metallic primer increases the durability of the paint and extends the life of the material.
