These steel primers are versatile by design. They contain a significant amount of rust inhibitive pigment, which translates to protection from corrosion for extended periods of time before top coating or enclosure. Additionally, as a result of resin modification, they may be top coated with coatings containing strong solvents, such as two-part epoxies and polyurethanes, without fear of lifting the primer. This is the primer of choice when the subsequent topcoat is unknown. They may also be used as an intermediate coat over old coatings that may lift if top coated with coatings containing strong solvents.

Our zinc-rich primers offer superior long-term protection for steel from corrosion and have excellent adhesive and protective properties. They perform similarly to galvanizing for structural steel surfaces. These primers contain a high percentage of zinc dust, which acts sacrificially when in direct contact with the steel. The zinc salts, which invariably form, fill the pores of the primer sealing off the steel substrate from moisture. They also are very flexible when applicating, as top coats don't need to be applied immediately after the primer.

Two-part epoxy primers are structural steel primers that require two-components, which cure chemically by cross linking. The resulting film is abrasion, chemical and moisture resistant. These two-part epoxy primers are intended for use over properly prepared steel and concrete. They are suitable for many industrial exposures such as structural steel, power plants, marine applications, water treatment plants, and tank exteriors, to name a few.

Due to the location of this seaside project, more than just a shopcoat primer was required to protect the exterior steel trusses. A constant salt environment is the enemy to steel. Haskell Steel in Jacksonville, FL did the fabrication and selected to go with a three-coat system from Sumter Coatings. A prime coat of 346D7714 Inhibitive Epoxy Gray was followed with an intermediate coat of 346D7720 Inhibitive Epoxy Light Gray, then topcoated with 318 Series High Build Urethane for additional protection and aesthetics.
