Crown Trade launches Protective Coatings range

Crown Trade has developed a range of high performance Protective Coatings, formulated for use on structural steel, metal cladding and other internal and external metal features.

Crown Trade High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer and Fast Drying Cladding Finish are the first two products in the range.

Used together as a system, they offer a straightforward and cost effective way to refurbish metal cladding, doors and soffits which have suffered coating failure and become weathered, dull and discoloured as a result.

Crown Trade High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer is versatile preparatory coating that can be used on ferrous and non-ferrous metal alike.

Its excellent adhesion and rust inhibiting properties provide a sound foundation for the protection of exterior metalwork, particularly structural steelwork.

It can be applied by brush, spray or roller and is suitable for use as a spot primer or across large expanses of metalwork to provide an effective barrier against corrosion, achieving coverage of up to 7m2 per litre on smooth surfaces.

It cures to a low sheen finish in a distinctive salmon pink colour which makes it easy for applicators to see where the primer has been applied and to ensure no areas have been missed.

Failed areas should be spot primed using the High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer followed by two coats of Crown Trade's new Fast Drying Cladding Finish.

This system is designed to be very straightforward to apply using conventional brushes, rollers or spray equipment.

No special equipment, training or application techniques are required.

The system can offer protectio for cladding for eight years or more.

Crown Trade Fast Drying Cladding Finish is water-based rather than solvent-borne and one-pack rather than two-pack, resulting in a coating that is hassle-free and more pleasant and easy to apply.

Being water-based it is dries quickly, being ready for recoating in four hours, and has a longer shelf life once opened than a system requiring activation.

Crown Trade High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer is supplied in a 2.5 litre pack and Fast Drying Cladding Finish is available in a 5 litre pack.
