Fast dry metal primer is an anti corrosive, quick drying, solvent based metal primer undercoat for ferrous metals. Our metal primer is intended for mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast and wrought Iron. Touch dry in 15 minutes, it’s ideal for spray application. Gives excellent protection to your surface before application of Fast Dry Gloss top coat.

Fast dry metal primer undercoat is ideal for situations where you need to apply a primer quickly and easily. Gives long term protection due to modified zinc phosphate, making it great for use on machinery, tools, structural steel, scaffolding and more.

If you are using a rust remover, note that some rust removers (based on phosphoric acid) tend to leave an electrically insulating film on ferrous metals. We advise you not use these or to remove them with an appropriate cleaner before applying our fast dry metal primer.

Preparation

General: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, old coatings, and other contaminants.

Ferrous Metals: Suitable for mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and wrought iron.

Previous Coatings: * Rub down previously gloss-painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
* Perform a test area on unknown previously painted surfaces before full application to check for compatibility.

Important Note on Rust Removers: If using a phosphoric acid-based rust remover, ensure any insulating film left behind is removed with an appropriate cleaner before priming.

Non-Ferrous Metals: For metals like aluminum or galvanized steel, use Etching Primer instead.

Application

Stirring: Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer or a wooden baton (at least 25mm wide).

Method: Apply an even coat using a brush (with rapid strokes) or a solvent-resistant roller.

Conditions: Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C) and dry conditions. Do not apply when the temperature is below 10°C.

Spray Application: Dilute by no more than 10% using Palatine Multi-Purpose Thinners.

Wood Surfaces: While primarily a metal primer, it can be used on wood; a minimum of two coats is recommended for wooden surfaces.

Colours Available: Grey, Red Oxide, Black, and White.

Pack Sizes: 1 Litre, 2.5 Litre, 5 Litre, 20 Litre.

Coverage / Drying Times

Surface Dry: 15 minutes

Hard Dry: 30 minutes

Overcoat: after 1 hour. Keep coated areas dry for a minimum of 24 hours following application. Please note, drying times will be extended at low temperatures. Do not apply when ambient temperature falls below 10ºC

Theoretical Coverage: 12 – 14m² per litre.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Thinning and Cleaning

Thinning: Dilute 5-10% with Palatine Multi Purpose Thinners (for spray application).

Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with Palatine Multi Purpose Thinners.

If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use
