WHITE PRIMER, INDUSTRIAL GRADE, OIL BASE

This industrial-grade, oil-based white primer provides a durable, corrosion-resistant foundation for metal surfaces. Engineered for superior adhesion, it's the ideal choice for preparing steel, iron, and other metals for topcoating in demanding fabrication and MRO environments.

  • High-Solids, Oil-Based Alkyd
  • Direct-to-Metal (DTM)
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance
  • MRO & New Fabrication Projects
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Our industrial white primer is formulated with a high-solids, oil-based alkyd resin system. This composition ensures deep penetration into metal substrates, creating a strong mechanical bond that inhibits rust and corrosion. The formulation is engineered for compatibility with a wide range of industrial topcoats, including epoxies and polyurethanes, providing a versatile base layer for comprehensive protective coating systems. It is designed to be applied via spray, brush, or roller, offering flexibility for shop or field applications.

Ideal for both new fabrication and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), this primer is essential for protecting structural steel, machinery, equipment, and ornamental ironwork. It effectively seals bare metal surfaces, creating a uniform, non-porous film that prevents moisture and chemical intrusion. Use it to prepare surfaces for final color coats on projects ranging from industrial equipment refinishing to protecting architectural metal components. This primer ensures the longevity and performance of the entire coating system.

Specifications

  • Material: Oil-Based Alkyd Resin
  • Standards: Meets performance benchmarks for industrial maintenance coatings
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Provides excellent adhesion for topcoats)
  • Dimensions: Available in 1-gallon cans and 5-gallon pails
  • Finish: Matte / Low Sheen
  • Certifications: Industrial Grade Formulation

Applications

  • Fabrication: Priming newly fabricated steel beams, frames, gates, and ornamental iron.
  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations): Spot priming and full recoating of existing machinery, equipment, and metal structures.
  • Structural Steel: Providing a corrosion-resistant base coat for columns, trusses, and platforms.
  • Equipment: Preparing chassis, frames, and heavy equipment parts for a durable finish.

Target Users

This primer is specified by metal fabricators, industrial painting contractors, and MRO technicians who require a reliable, high-performance coating for protecting metal assets in commercial and industrial settings.

Finish Options

This product is a primer and comes in a standard white with a matte or low-sheen finish, designed to promote excellent adhesion for subsequent topcoats. It provides a neutral base that ensures true color representation of the final paint layer.

How to Measure

Specify the quantity needed based on project surface area. A typical gallon covers approximately 250-400 sq. ft., depending on surface porosity and application method. For large projects, order in 5-gallon pails for cost efficiency.

Example: 'I need 10 gallons of Industrial Grade Oil-Based White Primer for a structural steel project.'

Order Checklist

  • Product name: Industrial Grade Oil-Based White Primer
  • Quantity required (1-gallon cans or 5-gallon pails)
  • Associated supplies: Thinner, brushes, rollers, spray equipment
  • Confirm compatibility with intended topcoat
  • Request Safety Data Sheet (SDS) if required
