Water-Based Primer for Industrial Surface Preparation
ALTIC WATER BASE PRIMER is a water-based primer designed to prepare suitable surfaces before the application of protective paints and coating systems. It provides a foundational coating layer that helps promote adhesion and creates a more uniform surface for subsequent coats.
As an important part of a protective coating system, a suitable primer helps improve the overall consistency and performance of the coating system while providing an initial layer of surface protection.
Key Features & Benefits
- Water-based primer formulation
- Helps prepare suitable surfaces before painting
- Supports adhesion of subsequent coating layers
- Creates a uniform base for topcoat application
- Suitable for maintenance and industrial coating applications
- Easy integration into water-based coating systems
- Helps improve overall coating system performance
- Suitable for use as part of a properly specified multi-coat system
Recommended Applications
ALTIC Water Base Primer can be considered for suitable applications involving:
- Metal and steel surfaces
- Industrial structures
- Fabricated components
- Machinery and equipment
- Industrial buildings
- General maintenance projects
- Suitable masonry or other compatible substrates, where specified
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving good primer adhesion and coating performance.
Before application:
- Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants.
- Remove loose rust, scale and poorly bonded existing coatings.
- Mechanically prepare the surface where required.
- Ensure the substrate is clean and suitably dry.
- Repair surface defects where necessary.
- Apply ALTIC Water Base Primer according to the product-specific application procedure.
For metal substrates, the required preparation grade should be selected according to the corrosion condition and intended coating system.
Application Method
ALTIC Water Base Primer may be applied using a suitable brush, roller or spray application method, subject to the product specification.
The primer should be applied uniformly over the prepared surface. Avoid excessive application that could result in uneven drying or coating defects.
Allow the primer to dry adequately before applying the next coating layer. The recommended recoat interval and coating thickness should always be taken from the latest product TDS.
Typical Coating System
Surface Preparation → ALTIC Water Base Primer → ALTIC Base Coat → Compatible Topcoat
The exact coating system should be selected according to substrate, environmental exposure and service conditions.
Benefits of Proper Priming
A properly prepared and primed substrate provides a better foundation for subsequent coatings. Primer application can help:
- Improve intercoat adhesion
- Promote uniform coating coverage
- Reduce substrate-related coating problems
- Establish a consistent foundation for subsequent coats
- Support the durability of the complete coating system
Suitable Industrial Applications
ALTIC Water Base Primer can be incorporated into coating and maintenance procedures for industrial facilities, fabricated structures, equipment and other compatible substrates where a water-based primer system is appropriate.
The primer should always be evaluated for compatibility with the substrate and the intended intermediate or topcoat.
Important Application Note
Product suitability depends on the substrate, environmental conditions and final coating system. Do not assume compatibility with every paint or coating.
For exact coverage, DFT, drying time, dilution, surface preparation grade, application method and compatible topcoats, refer to the latest ALTIC Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
Safety & Storage
Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application. Follow the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for handling, storage, ventilation and disposal requirements.
Store the product as recommended by the manufacturer and protect it from unsuitable temperatures and contamination.
Why Choose ALTIC Water Base Primer?
ALTIC Water Base Primer provides a practical foundation for suitable water-based and compatible industrial coating systems. By combining proper surface preparation with the correct primer, intermediate coat and topcoat, users can develop a more systematic approach to industrial surface protection.
