Fast-drying steel primer that provides corrosion protection on structural steel. Well suited for fabrication shops that need fast cure to dry and handle times.
- Rapid cure and fast-drying
- VOC compliant for most areas
- Good for filling properties on rough and pitted steel
Nullifire have made the decision in March 2023 to rebrand Nullifire PM020 High Build Alkyd Primer as Carboline Carbocoat 115 – please see a letter explaining the changes HERE.
Carboline Carbocoat 115 is a fast-drying steel primer that provides corrosion protection on structural steel. Well suited for fabrication shops that need fast cure to dry and handle times. May be top-coated with conventional alkyds or acrylics for colour, aesthetics or additional protection.
When applying a topcoat, Carboline Carbocoat 115 may be coated with Acrylics or Alkyds depending on exposure and need.

Drying Times
Curing Schedule | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Surface Temperature | Dry To Touch | Dry To Handle | Dry To Topcoat | ||
35°F (2°C) | 30 Minutes | 2 Hours | 4 Hours | ||

75°F (24°C) | 10 Minutes | 30 Minutes | 2 Hours |
- These times are based on a 1.5 mil (35 microns) dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation, high humidity or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment or premature failure. *Dry to topcoat with itself or other alkyds.
- Recoat intervals may vary from those listed above when using under intumescent fireproofing products. Consult Carboline Technical Service for recommended cure times before applying Carboline intumescent products.
Surface Preparation
General
- Surfaces must be clean and dry. Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating.
Steel
- SSPC-SP6 with a 1.0-2.0 mil (25-50 microns) surface profile for maximum protection. SSPC-SP2 or SP3 as minimum requirement.
- When using under fireproofing products, defer to the primer surface preparation requirements in the product data sheet of the fireproofing product

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Condition | Material | Surface | Ambient | Humidity | |
Minimum | 35°F (2°C) | 35°F (2°C) | 35°F (2°C) | 0% | |

- This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point.
- Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate.
- Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions.
Health & Safety
- Refer to the safety data sheet in the attachments section above and tin label prior to use.
