Adhesion Primer

Super Etch Primer

Super Etch Primer is a high-performance adhesion-promoting primer engineered specifically for challenging substrates where standard primers fall short. By chemically etching into the surface, it creates a superior mechanical and chemical bond — giving your topcoat the foundation it needs to perform at its best, even on notoriously difficult surfaces like galvanised steel, Zincalume, and stainless steel.

Key features

Superior Bonding on Problem Surfaces
Chemically etches into challenging substrates to create a bond that standard primers simply cannot achieve on difficult surfaces.
Fast Drying Formula
Rapid dry time reduces waiting between coats — keeping your project on schedule without compromising adhesion performance.
Multi-Surface Compatibility
Performs across a wide range of metal and aged substrates — one primer that handles the surfaces others struggle with.
Enhances Coating Durability
Promotes long-term adhesion and durability of the topcoat system — reducing the risk of peeling, flaking, and premature coating failure.

Ideal for

Metal Roofs
Galvanised Steel
Zincalume
Stainless Steel
Aged Coatings
Weathered Surfaces

Why use an etch primer?

Standard primers rely on mechanical adhesion alone — which is often insufficient on smooth, non-porous, or chemically treated metal surfaces like galvanised steel or Zincalume. Super Etch Primer works differently: it chemically bonds with the substrate at a molecular level, creating a tenacious base coat that dramatically improves the performance and lifespan of the entire coating system above it. If you are coating a challenging surface, skipping this step is the most common cause of premature failure.
