What’s the Difference Between Paint and an Industrial Primer?
Paint is often comprised of resin pigments, while primers themselves are resins. The primary function of an industrial primer is to provide a protective barrier between the paint and metal surface. The resins inside primers seal porous metal surfaces to offer a durable protective undercoating.
