Introducing PPG's PRIMERON® Powder Primer Series
PPG's PRIMERON powder primer portfolio is crafted to offer high corrosion resistance for substrates like steel, hot-dip-galvanized steel, metalized steel, and aluminum. PPG's range of primers caters to distinct needs based on end use, environments, and substrates.
Why use a powder primer?
After blasting the metal surfaces, primers can be applied to slow down the speed of oxidation, create more consistency in the application of the powder coatings and allow the powder coatings to more easily bond to metal edges.
Do I really need a powder primer?
The question really depends on the problem you are solving and the job you are doing. Metals, such as iron and steel, that are prone to corrosion will benefit from the extra protection provided by a powder primer to help guard against puncturing and flaking long term. Powder primer is commonly recommended for these metals:
Do PPG powder primers meet industry specifications?
PPG powder primers meet ISO 12944. This specification serves as the industry benchmark for safeguarding steel structures against corrosion through protective paint systems. Initially introduced in 1998, this standard is a collaborative effort involving representatives from pivotal countries and companies vested in steel structure protection.
ISO 12944 encompasses nine parts, covering aspects such as environment classification, protective paint systems, laboratory test methods and systems for offshore structures.
