Description

Coo-Var Anti-Corrosive Red Oxide

This anti-corrosive primer and finish is a versatile, single-component solution for protecting metal surfaces from rust and corrosion. Ideal for use on steel, iron, and other metalwork, it creates a tough, durable barrier that prevents degradation, even in harsh environments. Available in a striking red colour, it delivers a gloss finish that can be left as a standalone coat or overcoated for extra durability.



Recommended Uses

Perfect for use on a range of metal surfaces, including structural steel, tanks, iron gates, and pipes. Whether you're working on a commercial project or general metalwork, this product provides a strong, durable finish that withstands the elements. It is especially effective on steel surfaces where rust prevention is critical, and its application is simple with either a brush, roller, or spray.



Application and Preparation

For optimal results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or rust. Blast cleaning is recommended for steel surfaces, but mechanical cleaning can also be effective if blasting is not possible. Once the surface is prepared, apply the product using a brush, roller, or spray gun. It dries to the touch in approximately 12 hours and can be overcoated after this period if desired.

  • Application methods: brush, roller, or spray
  • Drying time: touch dry in 12 hours, full hardness in 5-7 days
  • Overcoating interval: 12 hours or overnight



Limitations and Restrictions

This product should not be applied in conditions where humidity is high, or the temperature is below the dew point, as this may affect adhesion and drying time. It is also important to avoid using the product on non-metal surfaces, or where strong acids or oxidising agents are present. Additionally, do not apply in confined spaces without proper ventilation due to the VOC content and flammability of the product. Always refer to the downloadable data sheet for detailed information on application conditions and safety precautions.



Recommended Products

For additional protection, particularly in highly corrosive environments, consider using Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer as a base coat before applying this product. For areas that require a different finish or colour, Coo-Var offers a range of topcoats that are compatible with this anti-corrosive primer.
