Shop primers are typically used in preconstruction processes to protect steel during handling, storage, and transport without affecting the material's cutting or welding properties.
Specifically, shop primers provide effective protection against corrosion, which can occur if steel is left in storage for extended periods of time, or if it is exposed to environmental factors that would otherwise degrade its integrity.
Beyond providing corrosion protection, industrial shop primers coatings also serve as secondary surface preparation agents. They enhance the steel substrate's ability to withstand the abrasions and chemical exposures that occur during typical production processes. When properly deployed, shop primers can also support efficient cutting, welding, and forming, increasing overall production speed and helping companies control costs while improving quality and performance.
