Priming

Is priming necessary for powder coating?

Industrial manufacturers, builders and consumers demand metal products that retain their appearance. Depending on the use, certain types of metals can degrade when exposed to outdoor elements. Powder coating services help protect the surface from moisture, salts and oils.

Priming is one of the ways powder coating professionals ensure long-lasting protection for your product.

Primers are effective in preparing metals for outdoor and aquatic environments. The primer ensures that the powder coating adheres to steel, iron, aluminum, etc. and helps fight corrosion. If metal surfaces will be exposed to high humidity, corrosive environments, or may be scratched, consult on which primer to choose to ensure long-term durability.
