Steel Paints
Specialist direct-to-steel paints provide robust protection for steel surfaces without the need for primers, making them ideal for industrial and commercial use. These paints form a durable barrier against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term protection in harsh environments. Commonly used on structural steel, machinery, and exterior metalwork, they are designed for direct application to bare or prepared steel. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning to remove rust, oils, and contaminants, is critical for achieving optimal adhesion and performance. Contact technical support for guidance on product compatibility with specific steel substrates.

The Power of Direct-to-Steel Paints
Direct-to-Steel Paints are highly specialised coatings designed to bond directly to steel, eliminating the need for a separate primer. These advanced paints offer exceptional corrosion resistance and durability, making them the perfect choice for protecting steel surfaces in harsh environments. Their unique formulation ensures a strong bond, providing long-lasting protection even in industrial and marine settings.
Why Choose Direct-to-Steel Paints?
Steel is prone to rust and corrosion, especially when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or extreme weather. Direct-to-Steel Paints create a robust barrier, safeguarding steel structures from deterioration. These paints simplify the application process, reducing the need for a primer coat and speeding up the job. Their efficiency makes them an excellent solution for large-scale industrial projects where time and performance are critical.
Key Areas of Application
Direct-to-Steel Paints are widely used in industries where steel is exposed to harsh conditions. Common applications include factories, warehouses, offshore platforms, and bridges. External steel frameworks, such as cranes and towers, also benefit from these paints' high-performance protective properties. By using these coatings, steel surfaces remain protected for longer, ensuring structural integrity in demanding environments.
Surface Preparation: A Critical Step
Preparing the steel surface before applying direct-to-Steel Paints is essential. Proper cleaning removes rust, oils, grease, and other contaminants that can interfere with adhesion and lead to premature coating failure. Techniques such as abrasive blasting or solvent cleaning may be required, depending on the level of contamination. Ensuring a clean, prepared surface is vital for the paint to bond effectively and deliver long-term protection.
