Etch Primer - Ultimate Foundation for Metal Surfaces
What makes an etch primer so effective? The secret lies in its unique chemical formulation. Unlike a standard primer, an acid etch primer contains a blend of acid and zinc phosphate components that microscopically etch the surface of the material it's applied to. This process creates a powerful mechanical and chemical bond that goes beyond standard primers, especially on non-porous surfaces like bare steel, aluminium, and galvanised metal.
This etching action not only provides unparalleled adhesion but also serves as the first line of defence against corrosion. By creating an inert, passivated layer, our etch primers actively inhibit the formation of rust, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your work. This makes them the go-to solution for automotive restoration, marine applications, and any project where metal is exposed to harsh conditions.
Key Benefits of Using an Acid Etch Primer
