B16 IR Grey Primer is a premium grade, quick dry synthetic alkyd anti-corrosive primer, designed for use on all correctly prepared metal substrates. It is adhesion promoted for outstanding direct to substrate adhesion and provides excellent adhesion even on difficult substrates such as aluminium.

B16 IR Grey Primer has excellent inter-coat adhesion with acrylic topcoats and contains flash rust inhibitors to allow the primer to be applied direct to steel without the threat of flash rust forming beneath the applied primer. Furthermore, has excellent flexibility and copes well with the dimensional instability of metal roofing sheet. 

Mist primer for adhesion of new topcoats to new galvanized metal, shop primer for new construction steel, for the priming of difficult substrates such as aluminium and for previously painted corroded metals after the preparation and treatment of the corroded areas with Astec Rus-traint.
