(Protective Coating)

1001 SKPS Metal Primer ST is a corrosion inhibiting and high solids alkyd primer with Zinc Phosphate. It offers good corrosion resistance for ferrous surfaces in mild to moderately corrosive environments. It works best when used as a primer for properly cleaned or pre-treated metals.

It is not intended for use on the inside of potable water tanks.

Application Procedure:

  • Ensure the surface is free from loose particles, dirt, dust, moisture or adhesion inhibiting compounds like grease, wax and oil.
  • Non-ferrous metals must be primed with metal pre-treatment wash primer. Badly rusted or pitted steel should be cleaned by commercial sandblasting and primed the same day.
  • Apply one coat of primer by spray or brush and allow it to dry for 6 to 8 hours before the second coat.
  • If needed, use solvent-based putty to fill cracks and dents to make the surface uniform.
  • After sanding the puttied surface, apply another coat of 1001 SKPS Primer and allow it to dry overnight.
  • Before the application of topcoat, lightly sand the surface with emery paper and wipe clean.
  • Suitable Top Coats : 1001 Homecare Enamels ST, Autoking Coatings ST, 1001 Epoxy Coatings ST
