C06-1 Alkyd Anti-Corrosion Primer (Iron Red / Red Lead)

Overview
Single-pack alkyd anti-corrosion primer for steel structures where adhesion and rust inhibition are primary requirements.
Film focuses on adhesion to steel and compatibility with alkyd topcoats for general structural steel applications.

Composition
Alkyd resin with iron oxide red, anti-rust pigments, extender pigments, anti-settling agents, solvent, and driers.

Typical uses
Anti-rust primer for steel structure facilities.
