1. Serves as a binding medium for the paint coatings.
2. It can be applied over porous materials to smoothen the surface to achieve the best results.
3. Its anti-corrosion properties eliminate the possibilities of rusty surfaces in ferrous metals.
4. Metal primer increases the durability of the paint, and increases the life of the material.

Uses of Red Oxide Primer :

• In general, red oxide primer is used on exterior and interior ferrous metal surfaces.
• The product features excellent opacity and adhesion properties.
• However, note that the metal primer is different from red oxide primer as it comes with anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.
• Red oxide primer is formulated for ferrous metals containing iron elements.
• You may use a magnet for determining the metal type.
• Unlike nonferrous metals, ferrous metals have magnetic properties.
• This primer variety isn’t suitable for bituminous or asphalt surfaces as well.
