Purpose and technical characteristics of primer-enamel for rust 3 in 1

3 in 1 rust enamel primers are effective universal paint and varnish materials that can perform several functions.

The KrasKo company produces and wholesales special paints and varnishes produced under brand names. Products are developed by plant specialists using modern raw materials. In terms of its technological characteristics, it is not inferior to the best world analogues. You can also purchase coatings from KrasKo in the retail network.

The catalog contains paints, varnishes, impregnations, 3-in-1 rust-resistant enamels and other high-tech coatings.

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.

How to apply primer-enamel correctly

In order for the primer-enamel to form a strong, durable coating, it is necessary to properly prepare the metal surface for application.

1. The metal surface must be cleaned to a metallic shine. Cleaning can be done using a metal brush, a grinding machine with an appropriate attachment, or sandblasting.

2. Rinse thoroughly the entire area to be painted and dry thoroughly. Depending on the size of the item, you can wash it under running water, with a rag, or using a portable car wash. The use of a car wash, as practice has shown, provides better surface cleaning due to the fact that water with detergent is supplied under pressure.

3. Treat with a degreaser. White spirit, gasoline, acetone or other organic solvents can be used as a degreaser. If it is not possible to completely degrease the structure, then it is necessary to at least treat the rusty areas with a solution. If you do not use a degreaser, the adhesion of the primer-paint to the base will significantly deteriorate.

The OBEREG plant produces two types of primer enamels.

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.

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:

1. You can work with a brush made of natural bristles, but the greatest consumption will be observed;
2. the best option for use is a roller made from natural components for painting;
3. 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.

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:

1. Special forces primer enamel for rust is mainly used for treating metal surfaces.
2. Anti-rust primer is often used in the automotive industry, and also in modern mechanical engineering.
3. Anti-rust paint can also be used in certain areas of industry, including the food industry.
4. This coating is used for metal fences and any other outdoor metal structures.
5. 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.

Additional recommendations

A wide selection of paint allows it to be used for painting almost all structures for technical use. It is important to choose the right color palette here. If these are central metal elements, then you can safely use bright colors. For hidden auxiliary structures, calmer colors are used - gray, brown, black.

If the structure will be under aggressive influence, then it is better to cover the paint on top with other substances. Varnish or oil components are often applied. They will protect the primer-enamel from premature peeling or damage.

In order for the paint to adhere well and be fixed as efficiently as possible and not deteriorate during use, it is necessary to prevent the ingress of water. The weather, in turn, should also not be humid. This is the only feature that requires special attention.

If you skip the areas where rust remains, then when applying primer-paint there will be no problems with a change in color perception, as could happen with ordinary enamel when mixed. This one of many points is significant in most cases.

Purpose

Primer-enamel 3 in 1 is a universal composition for restoring the appearance of metal structures. This is a metal paint that does not require prior priming and performs the following functions:

• eliminating pockets of rust on the metal surface and preventing its further spread;
• coating the product with a primer that promotes better adhesion to paint;
• painting the surface of the structure with decorative enamel.

Thanks to the combination of functions in primer-enamel, there is no need to apply several layers of different materials to the product and wait for them to dry completely before applying each subsequent one. This significantly saves time and money, and also allows you to reduce the number of working tools.

Most often, primer-enamel is used to cover outdoor structures: gratings, fences, gates, garages, doors and street furniture. This is explained by the fact that primer-enamels are atmospherically resistant to humidity, cold and sun. But it is also possible to use the composition for decorative purposes - for coating various interior items.

It should be noted that primer-enamel is widely used in car repairs, especially its internal parts. Hard-to-reach places where there is constant contact with oil, steam or high temperature can be easily covered with one or several layers of primer-enamel. After this, the car components become resistant to aggressive influences.

In industry, these compounds have also found their place due to their chemical resistance to oils, aggressive environments, water and steam. They are used to cover elements of industrial and building structures, hangars and warehouses.

Primer enamel can be used not only for cast iron, steel and aluminum products. It is often used to coat wooden, concrete, mineral and brick surfaces both indoors and outdoors.

Enamel paint: the best choice

3 in 1 enamel paint is a good choice for treating metal structures, especially if they are located outdoors. Constant moisture and solar radiation, temperature deformations of the metal, mechanical friction of snow and ice and many other wear factors turn ordinary paint into a dull, cracked coating that poorly protects the metal from corrosion. The surface looks especially sad if oil paint is applied over rust.

If we talk about cost, then there is an interesting situation here: despite the fact that 3 in 1 enamel primer is noticeably more expensive than simple paint, even taking into account the price of primer and converter purchased separately, let’s not forget about the cost of working time, which is required both -at least half as much. Finally, to effectively paint metal using classical technology, you need a skilled painter, whereas in the case of primer-enamel, an ordinary janitor can do the job.

As a result, we get the same, and sometimes even lower, final cost per unit of painted area, despite the fact that the quality, beauty and durability of the coating are definitely better. That is why many modern companies choose such tools for their work.

Important! Primer-enamel is more expensive, but taking into account the costs of the primer, rust converter and painter’s work, the final price per square meter of coating is comparable, and sometimes even more profitable, compared to the use of conventional paints.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the composition. Labels like “Best paint for rust” should not distract your attention. In the composition, look at the type of binder (we are looking for alkyd-urethane varnish), the presence of rust converters and other targeted additives that are important in your particular case.

It’s difficult to immediately understand the variety of cans, canisters and tubes presented in the windows of construction supermarkets, so let’s start with, perhaps, the most worthy ones.

Specifications

Anti-corrosion composition 3 in 1 dissolves in alkyne-modified varnish. The addition of organic additives and target substances is carried out during the production process. After drying the enamel, the coating becomes smooth and durable. It has an anti-corrosion effect and withstands the effects of negative climatic phenomena. In addition, the base becomes resistant to chemicals.

This mixture is an excellent assistant in preparing the surface for painting. The coating created by the 3-in-1 anti-rust composition is durable, has protective functions and, in moderate and cold climates, can not lose them for 8 years. However, this is achieved when the enamel is applied in 2 layers.

The manufacturing technology of the composition allows for a tight fit of the soil layer to the base. In this case, a layer of varnish will be located on the surface. This occurs due to special impurities and additives.

The optimal temperature at which primer-enamel is applied is 20 degrees. If this condition is met, the drying of the composition and its properties will correspond to the manufacturer’s statements. However, if necessary, it can also be used at negative temperatures. After drying, the primer-enamel does not lose its qualities in the temperature range from -45 to +100 degrees, which makes it ideal for outdoor use.

One of the subtypes of the 3 in 1 rust composition is hammer paint. It contains fine metal powder, which gives the base, after application and drying, a textured rough surface and a steely sheen. It seems that the product was processed by blacksmithing. The mixture also combines the functions of enamel and primer.

Applying hammer paint using a sprayer is more difficult than applying paint using a simple sprayer. Usually the work is not complete without a roller or brush. If the surface is located vertically, metal particles may move down, which can spoil the final appearance.

Anti-corrosion paint for car

New mixtures designed to combat rust have recently appeared on the modern market for car care products. If previously paint and varnish substances could be applied to the body surface only after it was thoroughly cleaned, which was done with a grinder or a grinder, now you can paint directly over rust spots.

That's why it got its name. It is used for quick car restoration. Depending on the method of use, all automotive anti-rust products are divided into:

• aerosol _ Suitable for painting hard-to-reach areas of the car. Such paints are sold in spray cans, which simplifies the painting process for beginners;
• for manual application . Apply to the car surface with a brush.

How to use?

When working with primer enamel of this brand, you must adhere to certain conditions.

Firstly, the ambient temperature should be between +8 and +30 degrees. Secondly, the hygrometer readings should not exceed 80%. Thirdly, the thickness of the rusty layer should not be more than 100 microns.

The Dali application algorithm differs little from the standard scheme for using “3 in 1” primer enamels against rust.

Treatment begins with surface preparation and ends with drying:

1. The product is washed from dirt, dust, grease, and fuel oil.
2. Mechanically remove thick layers of rust.
3. Degrease the area with acetone, white spirit or gasoline.
4. Apply the first layer of primer enamel.
5. The coating is dried from 5 minutes to 3 hours.
6. Check the coating for tack and apply a second layer.
7. The final drying of the product is carried out for 7 hours.

Before use, the contents of the jar are mixed and, if necessary, slightly diluted with a universal solvent of the same brand. If it is not available, then solvent, xylene or thinner P646/647 are used as an alternative. The maximum proportion of the selected chemical is 10% of the emulsion volume.

Dali can be used over old paintwork if it does not flake off under the influence of the enamel. The test is carried out on a small area with old paint.

When painting, it is important to control the distribution of enamel. There should be no smudges, drops, or clots left on the surface.

One liter of Dali enamel is designed for 12-18 square meters. meters with single-layer painting.

To apply a thin but dense layer of enamel, use a brush, paint roller or spray gun. The painted surface must be dried exclusively under natural conditions at a temperature of about 20 degrees.

Peculiarities

Primer enamels of this type are universal mixtures. They help update the appearance of metal products. It is not necessary to prime the base before applying paint. The enamel itself can serve as a primer.

The primary task of paint is to stop the spread of rust on treated products and to prevent the formation of new foci of corrosion. In addition, enamel has a decorative function. It can be made in various colors and is used as a finishing coating.

Most often, this composition is used to coat products located outdoors. These can be furniture elements, iron gates, garage boxes and other structures. Primer enamels help prevent the material from being exposed to negative climatic conditions. They can withstand cold weather, heat and high humidity. However, this does not negate the possibility of using the mixture indoors to treat interior elements.

The use of mixtures in the process of car repair has become widespread. This is most relevant when processing its internal components, which are often in contact with liquids such as oil and gasoline, and are also exposed to high temperatures. After covering the elements with enamel one or several times, they become inert to the effects of aggressive environments.

In addition, 3 in 1 primer enamels are widely used in industry. This was also facilitated by their resistance to aggressive conditions.

The use of primer-enamel is possible not only when working with metal surfaces. In addition to cast iron, aluminum and steel, they are perfect for foundations made of brick, concrete and wood.

The versatility of the mixture is achieved thanks to its components. First of all, the base is alkyd-urethane varnish. It includes alkyd resins and urethane additives. Performs a connecting function.

The presence of anti-corrosion materials helps solve two problems at once. The first is to neutralize the rust that has already affected the product. The second is to prevent new sources of corrosion. This occurs due to the formation of a phosphate film on the surface.

In addition, the composition contains enamel. It is with its help that the finishing layer of the painted element is formed. Due to the plasticizer and similar impurities, the working properties of the mixture are significantly improved. The content of the solvent in the base helps maintain the viscosity of the composition.

The primer base and the additives contained in it are constantly being improved. This is due to competition between manufacturers. The color spectrum of the compositions is quite wide, which makes it easier for the consumer to choose.

Types and features of using rust paints for cars

You can protect your car from rust and prevent its further spread using special paint.

How to choose the right one?

There are several types of paints that can be used to treat a rusty car. When choosing, you need to pay attention to their composition:

1. 
   Alkyd. They are used to treat surfaces that are not exposed to strong heat. The metal on which alkyd paint is applied must be galvanized.

2. Hammer. These compounds are chosen by drivers seeking to obtain a rough coating with a metallic sheen. Hammer paints are based on alkyds, epoxies, acrid, and aluminum powder. Using hammer paint, you can avoid using a primer, but to do this you need to apply it in 3 layers.
3. Epoxy. Such paints are toxic, so use them with caution. They contain synthetic resins that protect the metal from damage and high temperatures.
4. Acrylic. Such colorants appeared on the market recently, but are already loved by car owners. They have a high degree of metal protection against corrosion. They can be used for interior and finishing work.
5. Oily. These are inexpensive compositions based on drying oil. Oil-based paints are not able to provide the car with the necessary protection. They are used when you need to save money and quickly complete painting work.

Depending on the application method, aerosol paints and compositions for manual application are distinguished.

Products in cans are used to paint hard-to-reach areas. They are easy to use, so even a beginner can cope with the task. Paints for manual application are poured into various containers, most often tin cans. To paint a car you will need a spray bottle or a paint brush.

Types of rust paints:

1. 
   Tread. This is an economical paint that dries quickly and has high anti-corrosion activity. After drying, it forms a high-quality metallized coating. This paint can be used in conditions of high humidity.

2. Isolate , for example, primer-enamel for metal. Such compositions dry in 3 hours.
3. Passivating. This type of primer-paint slows down the process of corrosion formation.
4. Two-component phosphating agent . Helps dissolve rust and prevents its reappearance.
5. Converter paints . They not only dissolve corrosion, but also partially restore damaged areas of the metal.
6. Inhibitory. This is an effective dye that adheres tightly to the surface, but can only be applied to a small layer of rust.

Rules for using rust paints:

1. Before applying the composition to the metal surface, it must be cleaned with a brush. Areas with a thick layer of rust should not be painted over.
2. Those elements that do not need painting are dismantled. If this is not possible, then they are sealed with paper tape.
3. The cleaned body is washed, wiped with a rag and allowed to dry.
4. If an enamel primer was chosen for processing, then no preliminary primer is required.
5. The paint is applied in 2-3 layers. The spray bottle is kept at a distance of 15 cm from the surface.
6. When the procedure is completed, the car is left to dry.

The average time it takes for rust paint to dry is 14 hours. Finish the treatment with polishing.

Safety precautions

Safety rules that must be followed when painting a car:

• 
  you need to start work in special clothes made of thick fabric;

• eyes are protected with goggles, and hands with rubber or cotton gloves;
• Fire extinguishing means should always be freely available;
• smoking in the room where painting work is carried out is prohibited;
• After working with paints and varnishes, hands should be washed;
• hair must be hidden under a headdress;
• You can only work in a well-ventilated area.

Helpful information

Tips for painting a car:

1. The composition should not be applied to a loose layer of rust; it must be cleaned off.
2. If the paint contains a primer, then it is used as a mono product. The number of layers must be at least 3.
3. The coating can only be applied to a dry surface.
4. When painting a large area, the paint is applied in stripes. In this case, each line must overlap the previous one.

Conclusion

Anti-rust paint for a car can solve several problems at once. With its help, the vehicle will look aesthetically pleasing and will not corrode. The use of enamels containing a primer greatly speeds up the process of painting a car.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of the material that are typical for all manufacturers.

The undeniable advantages of primer-enamel over classical protective coatings (meaning primer GF-021 and enamel PF-115) include the following points:

1. Surface preparation is greatly simplified when using an anti-corrosion compound. Its application does not require thorough cleaning of rust-affected areas and additional surface treatment with a special modifier, followed by its neutralization with a soda solution. Primer enamel can be applied even to residual rust; it is enough to remove the peeling coating and loose corrosion formations from the surface being treated.
2. The decorative and protective properties of the material are noticeably higher than those of alkyd coatings. Alkyd-urethane varnish, acting as a binding element, has greater hardness, wear resistance and is less susceptible to moisture and aggressive environments than alkyd varnish used in primers such as GF-021 and enamel PF-115.

To ensure reliable anti-corrosion protection for 5 years, it is necessary to apply one layer of GF type primer and two layers of PF-115 enamel, while enamel primer is sufficient to apply in two layers. When applying three layers, the service life of the decorative protective coating increases to 7 years.

1. The use of the material can significantly reduce the time required for painting work. It should be recalled here that the GF-021 primer dries within 12 hours, and one layer of PF-15 enamel completely polymerizes in 24 hours. Thus, to obtain a protective coating it will take: 12+24+24=60 hours.

One layer of the composition at an ambient temperature of 20C does not exceed 6 hours, which allows you to completely complete painting work in 12 hours.

1. All components of the protective coating (rust modifier, primer and enamel) are in one can, which greatly simplifies their application and reduces the number of tools required.

The main, and perhaps the only, disadvantage of primer-enamel is their high cost, however, upon closer examination, this disadvantage also turns out to be quite dubious. The fact is that the estimate for painting work takes into account not only the price of the material. It also takes into account the cost of preparatory work and application of each individual layer.

When using this composition, the preparatory work is significantly simplified, and the protective and decorative coating itself is applied not in three, but in two layers, so the total cost of the work differs slightly.

Description and purpose of enamel

Primer-enamel XB-0278 is a type of primer that additionally has the properties of enamel, a rust converter, that is, it combines all three products in one. This paint and varnish product is not new on the market: it has been produced for more than 15 years.

The areas of application of the primer are varied:

1. Coating of any structures in industry and everyday life.
2. Painting of machines and units that are exposed to steam, gas, chemicals, reagents, liquids with temperatures up to sixty degrees.
3. Painting metal surfaces (steel, cast iron) that have carbon deposits.
4. Work on areas of rust, the depth of which does not exceed 100 microns.
5. Processing of gratings, garages, car parts, fences, gates, stairs, products with large dimensions and complex profiles.
6. Priming of parts that do not require a decorative coating.
7. Creation of a base for fire-resistant coatings.

The cost of primer-enamel is about 120 rubles per liter, produced in packages of 1 - 25 liters. The service life of the material after creating the coating film is about 5 years. If necessary, you can purchase more modern products that last up to 15 years, but their cost is much higher. In recent years, the manufacturer began to produce primer-enamel XB-0278 with the addition of pigments - you can buy the product in black, blue, cyan, gray, brown, yellow.

Consumption per 1 m2

Calculation of paint consumption on the surface must be done before purchasing to save time and money. Standard values ​​are indicated by the manufacturer. Instructions are located on the packaging.

The economy of the composition largely depends on the correct preparation of the base. The opened enamel must be thoroughly mixed and diluted with special solvents or xylene, after which the surface can be prepared for application. To do this, you need to remove dirt and rust from the base, after which you need to thoroughly degrease it. If there is a layer of previous enamel, such as oil or alkyd paint, it should be cleaned. It is prohibited to apply primer-enamel over a nitro-containing coating.

It is recommended to apply enamel primer in 2 layers, taking a break of about an hour. When the composition is applied and dried, it can be coated with any paint and varnish material.

If you follow the application technology, the consumption of the composition will be about 80-100 milliliters per 1 m2. The number of layers depends on the needs and desires of the consumer and can range from 1 to 4.

Smooth and hammer effect

Dali enamel creates a glossy finish on metal surfaces.

Special properties of enamel:

• Thanks to its convenient painting properties, it lays down as a uniform canvas;
• Ready-made color solutions according to the RAL catalog are offered.

Dali paint on metal creates a texture with the effect of hand hammering.

Advantages:

• Comfortable to apply;
• Has the declared effect even on vertically located surfaces;
• It is permissible to apply in one layer.

Dali paint on metal creates a texture with the effect of hand hammering.

Dali paints are created in accordance with the latest technologies and environmental safety. Their main feature is a unique structure, thanks to which the compositions form a wear-resistant film that reliably protects the surface from moisture, but at the same time allows air to pass through well.

The best manufacturers

The following manufacturers produce high-quality enamels for rust:

1. "Nevbytkhim." This company produces enamels in containers of different sizes. Nevbytkhima products are distinguished by good coverage, elasticity and strength. At the same time, the enamel of this brand emits a pungent odor, which is why the dye can only be used for exterior work. In addition, to dilute the initial mixture, the Nevbytkhima solvent is required.
2. "Prestige". This manufacturer produces mainly small-volume mixtures. Products of this brand have good anti-corrosion properties, but emits a pungent odor.
3. "Lakra." This brand produces budget and quick-drying products. However, it produces enamel in a narrow color palette.

Also, for painting metal products with rust, you can consider products from the brands “Rainbow”, “Tex” and Dali.

Analogs

The range of anti-corrosion products that combine the functions of primer and paint is presented not only by the Dali brand. The catalog of paint and varnish products contains worthy analogues that are not inferior in efficiency to Rogneda’s products:

1. Prestige. The Russian product is produced by a holding company of the same name. Primer enamel Prestige is characterized by a slightly higher consumption than Dali: 125-180 g/sq.m. At the same time, the final drying period differs slightly, it is 6 hours. The price of Prestige enamel is more affordable: a five-liter jar can be bought for 1,400 rubles.
2. Novbytkhim. The product is supplied to the market from St. Petersburg. The consumption of decorative primer is moderate, but slightly higher than Dali: 80-120 g/sq.m. Products can be processed with Novbytkhim at temperatures down to -10 degrees. The cost of a 3-liter jar ranges around 1,100 rubles, a liter - 300 rubles. All prices are here.
3. Novax. The brand coincides with the name of the manufacturer of paint and varnish products. Distinctive features of enamel are long final drying (24 hours), as well as reduced product consumption (1 liter per 8-12 square meters). Financial expenses for Novax are less than for Dali: a 3-liter jar costs an average of 1,160 rubles.

Composition and technical characteristics

The 3 in 1 rust composition is fundamentally different from multilayer protective coatings, which require separate application of the primer layer and the coating itself. The ability to provide high-quality anti-corrosion coating in one layer is due to the characteristics of the primer-enamel.

The ability to form strong and wear-resistant anti-corrosion coatings without pre-treatment is endowed with the presence of the following ingredients in their composition:

• alkyd-urethane varnish.
  This component acts as a binder and is a quick-drying composition of alkyd resin and urethane additives;
• anti-corrosion components.
  These substances can be divided into two groups: some prevent the appearance of rust, others help neutralize existing corrosion defects using a phosphate film;
• enamels.
  This component is intended to give the coating high aesthetic properties and weather resistance;
• plasticizers and other additives.
  With the help of these components, manufacturers of primer enamels impart elasticity and strength to the composition;
• solvent.
  The solvent included in the composition allows you to obtain the optimal consistency of the mixture. If the composition thickens, you can achieve the required viscosity using a solvent or white spirit.

Interesting.

Each manufacturer of primer enamel may use its own plasticizers and additives, so the technical characteristics of the compositions may vary slightly.

Specifications

Despite some minor differences between different brands of enamel, it is possible to highlight their main properties that are common to all manufacturers.
