WHY USE A POWDER PRIMER?

Primers slow oxidation, create consistency in application, and allow powder coatings to more easily bond to metal edges.

DO I NEED A POWDER PRIMER?

Metals prone to corrosion benefit from the extra protection of a primer, guarding against puncturing and flaking long term.

ISO 12944 COMPLIANT

PPG powder primers meet ISO 12944, the industry benchmark for safeguarding steel structures against corrosion.

INDUSTRY STANDARD

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.
