Primers

Overview

TruZinc™ is a high-performance zinc-rich epoxy powder primer delivering exceptional corrosion protection for ferrous substrates. Utilizing a proprietary extrusion process, this primer incorporates a significantly higher zinc content, providing both barrier protection and sacrificial (galvanic) defense against corrosion. It is suitable for use as a standalone coating in interior environments or as a primer layer in multi-coat systems requiring enhanced durability.
