At Rawlins Paints we have metal primers for all application types and project requirements. Damp metal surfaces require a moisture-tolerant primer to correctly adhere to the surface and prepare it for subsequent protective coatings, such as anti-corrosive topcoats.
A "wet" metal surface is defined by Sherwin-Williams as "may be damp or wet at the time of application", "a surface on which a thin film of moisture is present, but is free from running water, droplets or pooled water".
Moisture-tolerant primers are ideal for surfaces that may also be damp after preparation by wet abrasive blasting. They must not be used for fully immersed applications.
Choose a moisture-tolerant primer at Rawlins Paints from our range that includes Hydron, Rust-Oleum and Sherwin-Williams products. They include endorsements by Network Rail, and usages such as internal/external exposed conditions in offshore, petrochemical, etc on steel and galvanising.
Use the sidebar filter to choose products with attributes that suit your requirements; these range from anti-corrosive properties, high-build and zinc-phosphate to single-pack and two-component epoxy or alkyd primers.
If you require more help to find and specifying moisture-tolerant primers for your project or contract, our technical team are always on hand to advise. Give us a call on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected].
