Metalize Industrial Primer - MIL-SPEC Performance

Engineered for demanding environments, Metalize Industrial Primer provides a robust, corrosion-resistant foundation for metal surfaces. This high-performance alkyd coating is formulated to meet MIL-SPEC standards, ensuring exceptional adhesion and durability for industrial, MRO, and fabrication applications.

  • High-Solids Alkyd Primer
  • Meets MIL-SPEC Performance Criteria
  • Excellent Corrosion & Weather Resistance
  • Direct-to-Metal (DTM) on Prepared Surfaces
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Metalize Industrial Primer is a professional-grade, oil-based alkyd coating designed for maximum protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its high-solids formulation creates a durable, non-porous barrier that actively inhibits rust and corrosion. Engineered for direct-to-metal (DTM) application, this primer bonds tenaciously to properly prepared steel, iron, and aluminum surfaces. It serves as the ideal undercoat for a wide range of topcoats, including industrial enamels and epoxies, ensuring a long-lasting, high-performance finish that meets rigorous industrial and military performance specifications.

This versatile primer is the go-to choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) and new fabrication projects. It is perfectly suited for protecting structural steel, industrial machinery, equipment, trailers, and fabricated metal parts from harsh environmental conditions. Its reliable performance makes it a staple for welders, fabricators, and maintenance crews in the Los Angeles area who require a dependable coating system. The primer can be applied by brush, roller, or conventional/airless spray systems, providing flexibility for both shop and field applications.

Specifications

  • Material: High-Solids, Oil-Based Alkyd
  • Standards: Meets or Exceeds MIL-SPEC Performance Criteria
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Coating)
  • Dimensions: Available in 1-Gallon Cans and 5-Gallon Pails
  • Finish: Matte Primer Finish (Red Oxide, Gray)
  • Certifications: Certificate of Conformance available upon request.

Applications

  • Fabrication & Manufacturing: Priming newly fabricated steel beams, frames, gates, and equipment.
  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations): Refurbishing machinery, protecting structural components, and facility maintenance.
  • Transportation: Coating trailer frames, chassis components, and heavy-duty vehicle parts.
  • Architectural & Ornamental: Providing a protective base for ornamental ironwork, fences, and handrails.

Target Users

This industrial-grade primer is essential for professional fabricators, welding shops, industrial painters, and MRO teams requiring a durable, high-performance coating for metal assets. It is designed for projects where long-term corrosion protection is critical.

Finish Options

Metalize Industrial Primer is available in standard primer colors such as Red Oxide and Gray. It dries to a non-reflective matte finish, which is ideal for creating maximum adhesion with subsequent topcoats. This primer is designed to be top-coated with a range of industrial paints for the final desired color and gloss level.

How to Measure

To order the correct amount of primer, calculate the total square footage of the surface area to be coated. A general coverage rate is approximately 250-350 square feet per gallon, but this can vary based on surface porosity and application method. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for precise coverage information.

Example: A 10ft x 20ft steel plate (200 sq ft) would require approximately one gallon for a single coat.

Order Checklist

  • Color Required (e.g., Red Oxide, Gray)
  • Quantity Needed (Gallons or Pails)
  • Associated Supplies: Thinner, Brushes, Rollers, Spray Equipment
