Powder Primer Series Offers High Corrosion Resistance

The PPG Envirocron Primeron primer powder portfolio is designed to provide high corrosion resistance for metal substrates, including steel, hot-dip-galvanized steel, metalized steel and aluminum. This portfolio has been tested according to the corrosivity categories and approved by the Qualisteelcoat international quality label for coated steel.

“Protective primers are the first line of defense to protect metal surfaces from corrosion, the most significant challenge in the metal coatings industry,” says Lorenzo Soldavini, PPG technical manager powder, EMEA, Industrial Coatings. “Use of PPG Envirocron Primeron primer in a multilayer system offers optimal corrosion protection and is key to extending a product’s life span and preserving its structural integrity.”

The series covers a range of requirements depending on end use, operating environment and the substrate used. Coatings included in the portfolio are Envirocron Primeron Zinc, Envirocron Primeron Pro, Envirocron Primeron Edge and Envirocron Primeron Flex. The Zinc coating is a zinc-rich primer offering corrosion protection, according to the company. The Pro coating is a solid basic primer for strong corrosion protection regardless of pretreatment methods. It is said to offer good mechanical performance with a well-balanced property profile. The Edge coating offers corrosion protection for subtrates with sharp edges, particularly designed for degassing substrates. The Flex coating provides good corrosion protection for multiple substrates, including aluminum and different pretreatment methods.

“At PPG, we focus on differentiated innovation and sustainability to create value for our customers,” says Anne Banuls, PPG powder coatings business manager, EMEA, Industrial Coatings. “The PPG Envirocron Primeron powder primer series expands our offering of designed solutions for durable protection against corrosion for metal substrates.”
