5LTR TIN RED OXIDE PAINT

ProSolve Anti-Corrosive Primer OXPR5 Red (5L)

ProSolve Anti-Corrosive Primer OXPR5 Red is a professional-grade, solvent-based primer specifically formulated to provide exceptional, long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion on ferrous metal surfaces. This traditional red oxide primer creates a robust and level foundation that ensures outstanding adhesion for subsequent topcoats, significantly enhancing their durability and overall appearance. Ideal for both new metal and lightly rusted surfaces (after appropriate preparation), it is an essential first step in painting projects where the maximum defence against metal degradation is required.

Features

• Superior Rust Inhibition: Specially formulated with powerful rust-inhibiting pigments to actively prevent the formation and spread of corrosion on metal.
• Traditional Red Oxide Colour: Provides a classic red oxide base, often preferred for its strong contrast with topcoats or for traditional aesthetic reasons.
• Excellent Adhesion: Creates a strong bond with prepared metal substrates, ensuring topcoats adhere firmly and resist flaking, extending the life of the paint system.
• Good Foundation for Topcoats: Dries to a solid, even film that provides an ideal surface for subsequent paint layers, optimizing their finish and longevity.
• Versatile Application: Can be applied effectively by brush, roller, or spray, offering flexibility for various project sizes and requirements.
• Suitable for Smooth or Rusted Metal: Can be applied directly to smooth metal or over existing, tightly adhered rust (after thorough wire brushing and cleaning to remove loose rust).
• Durable Film: Contributes significantly to the overall robustness and protective qualities of the entire paint system.
• Good Coverage: Average coverage is approximately 5-7 square metres per litre, depending on surface condition and application method.
• Relatively Fast Drying: Touch dry in approximately 6 hours, though a minimum of 24 hours is recommended between coats for optimal performance and cure.

Applications

ProSolve Anti-Corrosive Primer OXPR5 Red is ideal for priming a wide range of ferrous metal surfaces, including:

• Plant and Machinery: Providing essential rust protection for industrial and agricultural equipment.
• Gates and Railings: Durable priming for metal fences, gates, and balustrades exposed to the elements.
• Structural Steelwork: Protecting beams, columns, and other metal components in construction and fabrication.
• Metal Pipes and Fittings: Offering corrosion resistance to pipework.
• General Metal Fabrication: Preparing new or existing metal for a durable topcoat in workshops and factories.
• Outdoor Metal Items: Including metal sheds, storage containers, and other exterior ferrous items requiring robust protection.

Important Note: As a solvent-based product, ProSolve Anti-Corrosive Primer OXPR5 Red will have a noticeable odour during application and drying. Ensure adequate ventilation in the working area. Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent cleaner such as white spirit or brush cleaner. Always follow surface preparation guidelines, including cleaning and de-greasing, for optimal results and maximum anti-corrosive performance.
