Primer material Ammokote PRIMER for anti-corrosion treatment of steel structures and increasing adhesion of fire-retardant materials
Primer for metal Ammokote PRIMER is a general purpose alkyd paint and varnish material, which is recommended for painting metal structures before applying fire retardant materials, as one of the components of the Ammokote fire protection system.
Ammokote PRIMER metal primer provides excellent adhesion and compatibility with fire-retardant materials under normal operating conditions, and when exposed to fire it does not spread or peel off from the surface of structures, which ensures the integrity of the fire-retardant coke layer.
Ammokote PRIMER is also used for priming surfaces of ferrous metal, wood, and concrete before painting with alkyd and water-dispersion enamels.
Alkyd primer for metal structures provides anti-corrosion, protective and adhesive properties, and also significantly reduces the consumption of basic paints and varnishes.
