Primer enamel 3 in 1 for rust - tips on selection and use

At the moment, any structural element has a certain service life, but if necessary, this indicator can be significantly increased if appropriate devices are used to create a protective coating. In this case we are talking about the use of primers of one, two or three component compositions.

These solutions significantly prolong the original appearance of the product, and in addition promote good adhesion to the base paint coating. Initially, manufacturers produced such compositions separately from paint, but recently a special paint has appeared on sale, namely 3-in-1 enamel primer, specialized for rust. In this case, it is necessary to consider what a quick-drying alkyd anti-rust enamel primer 3 in 1 is.

Purpose and application

This type of paint coating, such as enamel primer for rust 3 in 1, is often used in practice for certain complex tasks. This type of coating has the following main and additional purposes:

Special forces primer enamel for rust is mainly used for treating metal surfaces.
Anti-rust primer is often used in the automotive industry, and also in modern mechanical engineering.
Anti-rust paint can also be used in certain areas of industry, including the food industry.
This coating is used for metal fences and any other outdoor metal structures.
If necessary, this composition can be used to coat other variants of structural elements.

In practice, such a composition can be used for other specific tasks, however, the main properties will not appear, as is the case with painting a car or other metal elements.

Important. If necessary, this composition can be used for decorative purposes, since its structure and shade differ significantly from the traditional version of the soil.

Types of solvents

The separation of the agents used to dilute enamel paint occurs according to the rate of their evaporation after administration. In this case, the parameter takes into account standard conditions. So there are the following types:

Refractory;
Medium volatile;
Highly volatile.

There are a large number of solvent compositions on sale. Many of them have not lost popularity for many years: gasoline, xylene, acetone, white spirit and others.

There are a large number of solvent compositions on sale.

Composition and technical characteristics

Hammer or other primer has a good effect when used on a metal surface. All properties are available thanks to the composition of this substance, which includes the following components:

First of all, this substance contains alkyd varnish, which promotes adhesion to the surface;
there are various functional additives to reduce the impact of sand on the structure;
in addition, the components of this solution contain special enzymes, as well as organic and inorganic fillers;
among other things, the structure of this coating contains organic fillers and auxiliary pigments.

As a rule, the main purpose of pigments is to give the composition a certain shade. Often, this type of ground-effect enamel is black in color, which is why its use is widespread in practice. Depending on the aerosol filling and production technology, such a dye has a specific purpose. Most often it is anti-corrosion protection of a metal surface.

Important. It should be understood that here we are talking about a structure that dries quickly, has high toxicity, and in addition, average consumption, relatively low cost and an operating temperature range from -10 to 40 degrees.

Consumption per 1m2

Before considering how long this composition option takes to dry, it is necessary to clarify the consumption of this enamel per 1 m2. In this case, the following indicators are established:

as a rule, with correct and rational application, a layer of 0.1 millimeters is formed;
if we talk about a single-layer coating, then per square meter it takes from 130 to 140 grams of composition;
provided that the application technology is not followed, and in addition a brush or roller is used, then the consumption may increase to 200 grams.

It should be understood that all these values are prescribed by the paint manufacturer and are not always preserved in practice. In this case, the composition consumption during normal use can vary from 130 to 250 grams.

additional characteristics

You may also be interested in the degree of adhesion of the film, which is 2 points or less. The rust conversion efficiency coefficient is 0.7. The film is resistant to the static effects of sodium chloride solution; this period will last for 72 hours.

Peculiarities

When using such a primer from the PRESTIGE brand or any other manufacturer, you may encounter a number of features. Let's consider the main nuances when working with paint and varnish materials:

in order to meet the minimum consumption, you need to choose the right tool correctly;
when working, it is important to use a respirator, since the composition is highly toxic;
Before applying such a coating to the surface, it must be prepared, otherwise the effect will be minimal;
this substance hardens quickly only at low humidity, which is why it is necessary to select the appropriate atmosphere;
This variety is suitable for use on any surface, but works best directly on metal.

Taking into account a number of these features, it is possible to correctly and rationally use such a substance for structural elements and other surfaces that need appropriate protection.

Important. It is necessary to understand that in each individual version of the primer, different technology is used, which has a direct impact on certain properties of the composition.

Composition of primer-enamel

High efficiency and versatility in use is due to the presence of the following components in the product:

Alkyd-urethane varnish. A mixture of alkyd resins with an admixture of urethane components ensures rapid drying of the final product and also acts as a binder.
Anti-corrosion additives. They consist of two main components: anti-corrosion pigments that prevent the occurrence of rust, corrosion converters (modifiers) that neutralize existing rust. These additives form a phosphate film in problem areas.
Enamel. It is necessary to create a top layer that gives the product an aesthetic appearance. ⦁ Plasticizers and other additives. Improves the quality of product performance.
White Spirit. Thanks to it, the desired viscosity of the product is achieved. To do this, the thickened primer-enamel is diluted with a solvent.

The composition is constantly changing as the manufacturer improves the product. When purchasing enamel, its composition can be read on the packaging. Also, thanks to various dyes, the color range of primer enamels is expanding.

Tool selection

In order to select the right tool for working with such material, you need to take into account a number of special points, namely:

You can work with a brush made of natural bristles, but the greatest consumption will be observed;
the best option for use is a roller made from natural components for painting;
You can use a sprayer with a pump, but experts recommend applying only the final final coat of primer with this device.

Depending on which tool is selected for the job, the appropriate application option is used. In addition, the consumption and, in addition, the speed of applying the composition to the surface of the structural element during painting depend on the devices used.

Important. In order to choose the right element, and also to make a high-quality coating, it is recommended to take into account a number of tips from experts, as well as some comments from manufacturers.

Tips and recommendations for use

When working with a component such as three-in-one enamel primer, it is recommended to take into account the following series of tips from experts:

the best option for applying this substance is a medium-sized roller made of natural material;
It is best to apply the primer in several layers, depending on the structure of the wall covering (2-4 layers maximum);
when working, you should use not only a respirator, but also a protective suit so that the primer does not get on the skin;
this type of soil for work is thoroughly mixed, otherwise full penetration does not occur;
These types of primers are produced by many companies, but you should choose those that are in great demand.

Additionally, when working with the composition, you need to take into account a number of tips regarding the procedure for using this substance.

Using enamel primer as a primer

If this composition is used as a regular primer, then no more than two standard layers of coating should be applied. Before work, you need to thoroughly degrease the surface and dry it. In addition, the primer is best applied using a roller, with each layer drying separately. Additionally, it is necessary to carry out all the work in stages.

Use as primer and enamel

In this case, two layers will not be enough, which is why up to 4 separate coatings are applied. It is mandatory to polish after use. In the case of this use case, full layers should be applied, while leaving sufficient time for the composition to completely dry before re-application. In such a situation, it is advisable to spray the last layer from a spray gun.

Types of coatings

As mentioned earlier, the selection of thinner should be based on the characteristics of the paint that is used. For this reason, the properties of popular types will be discussed below.

The selection of thinner should be based on the characteristics of the paint that is used.

Water-dispersed

The first group is water-dispersible painting products. Here are several coloring compositions with different bases. To understand how to dilute water-dispersion paints, you should study all types:

Acrylics are distinguished by the creation of a beautiful layer, the base is water, but after it evaporates, a film coating with good performance properties remains on the surface. You can simply remove a paint stain before it dries with a damp sponge; it’s also easy to wash your tools after work by dipping them in soapy warm water. Dilution can be done with gasoline, xylene, kerosene and white spirit. The choice is made based on the base material;
Acrylics are distinguished by the creation of a beautiful layer.
Latex is distinguished by its strength properties; the thick composition can be diluted with water; if the stains have had time to dry, then to remove them you can use toluene, methylbenzene, which are constituent elements in solvents with numbers;
Latex is distinguished by its strength properties; the thick composition can be diluted with water.
Polyvinyl acetate, you can remove a layer of such wet paint with a sponge soaked in a soapy solution. To combat the dried out layer, you can apply a heat-resistant effect by heating the area with a hairdryer, then prying the layer off with a spatula. Or use benzene, white spirit, vinegar, acetone;
A layer of such wet paint can be removed with a sponge soaked in soapy water.
Silicone, the recently applied layer can be removed with a dry or damp cloth. The dried layer is removed by mechanical means. For an old layer, thinners with a base of hydrocarbons, ethers or esters are suitable.
Silicone, the recently applied layer can be removed with a dry or damp cloth.

Oil-alkyd

Not only builders, but also artists wonder how to dilute oil paints. After all, oil paints are widely used for painting. It has an affordable price, and fresh smears can be wiped off the wall simply with a rag soaked in a special type of solvent.

Such products include white spirit, turpentine, kerosene, gasoline, but of a purified type. Butanol and ammonia will also cope with the task. Old layers are difficult to remove, then you can try to dissolve the layer using category P products with numbers 647 or 651.

Alkyd resin paints also provide durable results. To remove paint residues, you will need to use products based on the type. Turpentine and white spirit are suitable for GF types. For PF, you can try using xylene, solvent, gasoline, or commercial types of solvents.

In difficult cases, they resort to the use of specialized washing compounds, but it is important to act carefully when working so as not to remove the primer and putty layer along with the painted part.

Oil type paints are widely used for painting.

Nitro enamels

Understanding how to dilute nitro paint is important, because it is often used for painting metal that requires frequent painting to create a protective layer against rust. From the list of ways to dilute nitro enamels, you can separately select solvents with numbers from 645 to 650, omitting number 648. They are used to dilute a composition that has thickened and serve as a degreaser for the base. To remove traces, you can use options with simple or esters in the composition.

To remove traces, you can use options with simple or esters in the composition.

Epoxy materials

At home, removing epoxy compounds is difficult. The products are particularly durable and difficult to dissolve. While drying is not complete, you can wipe the area with a rag. The polymerization process starts after the hardener is added to the epoxy resin, and takes a little time.

For the frozen layer, mechanical methods of work are chosen. You can try to soften the clutch in advance using P5, 14, 40, 83.

There is a subtype of epoxy hammer paints that can be removed using solvent or xylene. The thinner for polyurethane paints can be selected P4, P4a.

Hammer paint can be removed using solvent or xylene.

Advantages and disadvantages

This type of paint coating has a number of positive and negative qualities. Let's take a closer look at the main advantages of the coating:

this composition dries quickly enough;
the necessary protective property for the surface is present;
minor existing corrosion is eliminated;
relatively low cost;
there is no need to buy different materials for work;
can be used for any purpose.

Despite a number of advantages, there are also some disadvantages. Small temperature range for operation. At high humidity, the composition hardens slowly. If used as a full coating, polishing is required.

Stages of work

In the event of an accident, defects in body elements can be both obvious and hidden. To assess the scale of the work, it is necessary to disassemble the car - remove the bumpers, doors, and trunk. After inspection, damaged parts:

We repair, level (restore geometry).
We wash it and remove the old paintwork.
We treat it against corrosion, prime it, and putty it.
We select the shade of paint using a computer.
In the spray booth, apply several layers of paint and dry until the varnish initially crystallizes.
We install the painted parts in place and replace the fasteners.
We polish the painted parts to a “factory” gloss.

Review of popular manufacturers

Today, various companies are engaged in the production of such paint and varnish coating, but a number of manufacturers should be highlighted among them:

Popular primer from the VGT brand.
A common option from the manufacturer PRESTIGE.
Good compositions for BRIGHT work.
A good option for primer and enamel is Ceresit.
The TIKURILLA composition is in good demand.

It should be understood that not all manufacturers are represented, but those who are in greatest demand among domestic buyers.

Important. When choosing a paint coating, you should take into account not only the price tag, but also the technical characteristics and customer reviews.

Reviews

Currently, there are various comments on the Internet regarding paint coatings. Regarding this primer option, there are the following reviews:

A wonderful composition that allows you to save a lot, since there is no need to purchase components separately. In general, everything is satisfactory, but such a composition is difficult to find of high quality, since it is very popular, which is why it is actively counterfeited.
At the moment, this is the best processing option for metal in my opinion. Thanks to this type of coating, you don’t have to look for the most compatible paints and primers. However, despite all the positive properties, it is quite problematic to choose a shade.

You should not blindly trust all comments from the Internet, as they are not always true. Often sellers write reviews for themselves, thereby increasing demand for their product.
