A Cathodic Barrier with Outstanding Adhesion to New Metal Surfaces.

B-16 I.R. Grey Primer remains COOL as it is manufactured using colour infused nano ceramics that reflect fully 50% of Solar heat by selective reflection of infrared light.

The product is an industrial grade, oil fortified, anti-corrosive primer that contains high level Zinc Phosphate pigments. The zinc phosphate provides cathodic protection for the metal substrate, as it chemically prevents iron from reacting with oxygen to form rust.

The product is resin rich, therefore adheres extremely well to bare steel and galvanised sheet. B-16 I.R. Grey Primer promotes tremendous adhesion for top-coats to new galvanised metal, requiring only a mist prime to achieve this result.

B-16 I.R. Grey Primer is surface tolerant to the power and hand tool cleaned substrates that are commonly experienced on aged metal roofing. Used in combination with Astec Rus-traint, the system provides good resistance to electrolysis that is experienced at sheet overlaps.

Most importantly, the Solar reflective properties of the product ensure that the primer will not attract heat and boil beneath semi-opaque protective top-coats. Additionally, it provides a cool surface for subsequent roofing top-coats that are applied in direct sunlight.

The cured film is anti-corrosive and highly adhesive. It provides a strong and reliable intercoat adhesion with all Astec Energy Star Infrared Heat Reflective top-coats.
