Why Primer Follows Blasting

Primer application has been part of our work since the company began in 1999. Blasted steel is clean and profiled, and it starts to rust if it is left bare.

Because we blast the steel ourselves, primer goes on the same day. Unit I handles blasting, metallizing and primer application, and Unit III handles sanding, putty, primer and finishing coats.

What We Prime

New Fabrications

Structures and equipment are blasted and primed before they leave for site.

Machine-Tool Castings and Bases

Primed after blasting and stress relieving, ready for machining and final painting.

Structural Steel

Blasted and primed at our units, or in place at your site.

Specification

Surface preparation
Blast to Sa 2½, or as the paint system requires
Timing
On the day of blasting
Primers
To your specification or the paint manufacturer data sheet
Equipment
Airless and compressed-air spray equipment with pressure pots (5 sets)
Where
At our facilities in Bengaluru, or at your site
Thickness check
Dry film thickness (DFT) on every coat with a calibrated gauge

Process Steps

Diagram in four stages: a steel plate is abrasive blasted with a nozzle, primed with an airless spray gun, the film and conditions are checked, and a top coat is applied
Why It MattersThe whole paint system depends on the primer. Applied promptly to a clean surface, it stops rust and holds the coats above it. Illustrative diagram.

  1. Blast

    The steel is blasted to the grade that the paint system requires.

  2. Prime

    Primer is applied on the same day.

  3. Check

    DFT is measured and recorded.

  4. Finish

    Finish coats follow where they are specified.

Applications

Primer application is one of our priority services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you apply a primer specified by our paint supplier?
Yes. We follow the surface preparation, thickness and recoat times given on the data sheet or in your specification.
Is primer applied on site?
Yes. Our teams take spray equipment to site and prime structures in place, usually immediately after blasting.
Are DFT reports provided?
Yes. Dry film thickness is measured and recorded in the project report.
