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:
Clean and degrease metal surface
Remove rust, dust, or old loose paint
Apply 1 coat of Duralex Red Oxide Primer
Allow it to dry completely
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.
