BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer

Red oxide primer is an anti-corrosive undercoat used to protect metal surfaces from rust and prepare them for the final paint. BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer is a resin-based primer that provides corrosion resistance, high opacity and a strong base for a long-lasting topcoat.

Red oxide primer forms a protective layer between the metal and external elements such as moisture and oxygen that contribute to corrosion. BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer also improves topcoat adhesion, helping the complete paint system remain durable for longer.

The metal surface should be dry, clean and free from loose rust, dust, oil, grease and flaking paint. Existing rust should be scraped or sanded away and the surface should be wiped clean before applying BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer. Proper preparation helps the primer form a stronger and more uniform bond.

BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer is formulated for metal surfaces used across different environments. For outdoor or industrial applications, it should be applied over a properly prepared surface and followed by a compatible topcoat suited to the expected exposure to weather, moisture and dust

A single uniform coat is generally used on a properly prepared metal surface, although an additional coat may be required depending on the surface condition, exposure and overall paint system.

Red oxide primer is intended as a protective undercoat rather than a final finish. Applying a compatible topcoat over BirlaNu Red Oxide Primer provides the required colour and finish while supporting longer-lasting protection against environmental exposure.
