For more detail on each of the primers , we have broken down each one to easily see the benefits , this will help decide which product best suits the application being considered .
The Epoxy Barrier Primer ( TLE-C540-M ) has been designed to offer a smooth level base that will hide minor imperfection in substrates . It presents itself well with excellent adhesion properties for topcoat giving overall smooth aesthetic appearance . Edge cover is a key property to this application as its ideal to protect against corrosion on sharp edges that have been for example laser cut .
Thermasets Anticorrosion Primer ( TLM- G087-S ) is a primer coating that has been designed to offer enhanced anti-corrosive properties and will offer extra life expectancy to a coating system . This primer also has good edge cover characteristics and offers up a good level preparation for topcoat application .
The Zinc Primer ( TLE-6226-M ) is a leading first-class primer offering exceptional anti-corrosive protection for ferrous metals in the most severe conditions . This product applied with a topcoat returns superior salt spray test results .
Finally , the Antigassing Primer ( TLM- G080-S ). This has been designed to offer excellent antigassing properties . Aesthetics of fabrications that are galvanised or metal castings that are prone to outgassing will be much improved through the addition of this primer coat .
