Why Red Oxide Primer Is Essential for Metal Surface Protection

Metal surfaces face constant exposure to moisture, oxidation, and chemical elements — making corrosion one of the biggest threats to structural durability. Choosing the right primer can significantly extend the life of metal surfaces and improve paint adhesion.

What Makes Duralex Red Oxide Primer Stand Out?

Duralex Red Oxide Primer is a solvent-based, alkyd-formulated anticorrosive primer designed specifically for metal protection. It creates a strong bond with steel, zinc, and galvanized substrates, shielding them from rust and preparing them for a smooth final finish.

Key Benefits

  • High corrosion resistance

  • Excellent adhesion for long-lasting paint performance

  • Resistant to mild chemical fumes and environmental exposure

  • High spreading and coverage efficiency

  • Suitable for both interior and exterior metal applications

Where to Use

Perfect for:

  • Structural steel

  • Gates, grills, and railings

  • Machinery and metal fabrication components

  • Galvanized and aluminum surfaces (with pretreatment)

Application Guide

For best results:

  1. Clean and degrease metal surface

  2. Remove rust, dust, or old loose paint

  3. Apply 1 coat of Duralex Red Oxide Primer

  4. Allow it to dry completely

  5.  Follow with 2–3 coats of recommended Duralex topcoat

Final Thoughts

Whether you're protecting a steel roof structure, metal gate, industrial equipment, or fabricated metal surface, a strong anticorrosive primer is the foundation of durability.
Duralex Red Oxide Primer ensures your metal stays protected, adheres beautifully to paint, and stands strong for years.
