ENHANCE METAL DURABILITY WITH OUR ADVANCED PRIMER SOLUTIONS

At TCI Coatings, we specialize in manufacturing advanced chemical primer solutions designed to preserve and enhance the durability of various metal substrates. Our primer products are engineered to provide exceptional corrosion resistance and optimized drying times, ensuring superior performance and efficiency in your projects.

Whether you need fast-drying primers for quick turnaround times or robust solutions to protect against corrosion due to harsh environmental conditions, TCI Coatings has the right product to meet your specific needs.

PRIMER CORROSION RESISTANCE SOLUTIONS

At TCI Coating, we excel in providing primer solutions that prioritize exceptional corrosion resistance.

Our two-component epoxy primers are the premier choice for ensuring robust protection, particularly when paired with Urethane finish coats.

For standard applications, TS-140 is the preferred primer, delivering reliable and durable performance. However, when a high-build system is required, our E-6000, E-8000, or E-9000 primers offer enhanced thickness and protection.

Corrosion resistance is crucial for metal applications as it significantly extends the lifespan of the metal, preventing degradation and structural failure. This not only ensures safety and reliability but also reduces maintenance costs and the need for frequent replacements. By protecting against rust and environmental damage, corrosion-resistant coatings preserve the aesthetic and functional qualities of metal surfaces, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses.

Trust TCI Coating’s advanced primer solutions to safeguard your surfaces against corrosion, maintaining their integrity and longevity in the harshest environments.

At TCI Coating, our primer solutions are designed to deliver exceptional performance with a focus on fast dry times.

Our high solids, low VOC primers, including P-569 (red), P-581 (white), and P-583 (gray), are categorized as Fast Dry products, ensuring quick and efficient application. To achieve optimal results, these primers should be thinned with Xylene. For our AEP-8989 primers, available in gray and red, R-140 is the recommended thinner.

Faster drying times are particularly beneficial for metal applications as they significantly reduce project downtime, allowing for quicker handling and further processing. This efficiency is crucial in production environments where time is money, leading to increased throughput and reduced labor costs. Additionally, fast-drying primers minimize the risk of contamination and defects that can occur when wet surfaces are exposed to dust and debris. By accelerating the drying process, TCI Coating’s primer solutions ensure a smoother, more durable finish, enhancing the overall quality and longevity of metal applications.

TCI Coating’s primer solutions provide the perfect balance of speed and quality, catering to your professional needs.
