ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER is a specialized primer designed to provide a suitable foundation for the ALTIC VCTI Coating System. It is intended for compatible industrial substrates where proper surface preparation, coating adhesion and long-term protective performance are important.
The primer forms the initial layer of the VCTI coating system, helping prepare the substrate before application of the compatible ALTIC VCTI COATING and ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT.
A properly selected primer can help establish a uniform coating system, improve intercoat compatibility and support the overall durability of the finished protective coating.

ALTIC VCTI Coating System
ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER forms the foundation of the complete VCTI system.
A typical coating sequence is:
Prepared Substrate
↓
ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER
↓
ALTIC VCTI COATING
↓
ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT
Each layer performs a specific function within the overall coating system.
VCTI Coating Primer
Provides the initial coating foundation and helps establish suitable adhesion between the prepared substrate and subsequent VCTI layers.
VCTI Coating
Provides the primary functional/protective coating layer of the system.
VCTI Coating Topcoat
Provides the final protective and finishing layer where specified.
Typical Applications
ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER may be considered for compatible applications involving:
- Industrial metal structures
- Steel components
- Fabricated equipment
- Process equipment
- Pipelines
- Industrial machinery
- Tanks and vessels
- Plant maintenance applications
- Protective coating systems
- Industrial infrastructure
Actual substrate suitability should be confirmed from the latest ALTIC technical documentation.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical to primer performance.
Before application:
- Remove oil, grease, dirt and other contaminants.
- Remove loose rust, scale and poorly adhered coatings.
- Use the appropriate mechanical or abrasive preparation method where required.
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Remove dust generated during surface preparation.
- Confirm that the substrate is suitable for the VCTI coating system.
The primer should not be applied over loose, contaminated or unstable surfaces.
Application Method
ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER should be applied according to the latest product TDS.
General Application Procedure
- Ensure the substrate has been properly prepared.
- Mix or homogenize the primer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply the primer using the recommended application method.
- Maintain the specified wet and dry film thickness.
- Allow the primer to dry or cure for the required period.
- Apply ALTIC VCTI COATING within the recommended recoating interval.
- Complete the system with ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT where specified.
Depending on the product formulation, application may be carried out by suitable brush, roller or spray equipment. The exact method should be confirmed from the latest TDS.
Importance of Primer Selection
The primer is an important part of a multi-coat industrial coating system. Using the correct compatible primer can help provide:
- Better substrate preparation
- Improved intercoat compatibility
- More uniform coating build
- Improved adhesion
- Better overall coating-system integrity
- A suitable foundation for the subsequent VCTI layers
Primer selection should always consider the substrate, service environment and complete coating-system specification.
Maintenance & Inspection
After completion of the VCTI coating system, regular inspection can help identify coating defects at an early stage.
Inspect for:
- Peeling
- Cracking
- Blistering
- Delamination
- Mechanical damage
- Corrosion
- Loss of adhesion
- Surface contamination
Any damaged areas should be repaired using the recommended ALTIC VCTI coating procedure.
Safety & Handling
Use suitable PPE during surface preparation, mixing and application.
Ensure adequate ventilation, particularly when working in enclosed industrial areas. Follow all applicable workplace safety requirements.
Refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information regarding handling, storage, first aid, fire safety and disposal.
Storage
Store ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER in its original, tightly sealed container in a suitable cool and dry location.
Protect the product from:
- Direct sunlight
- Excessive heat
- Moisture
- Contamination
- Incompatible materials
For exact shelf life, storage temperature and packaging information, refer to the latest ALTIC TDS/SDS.
