ARMAWELD – Weldable Primer Reddish Brown
Armaweld is a fast-drying anti-corrosion pre-fabrication primer. This two-pack modified zinc silicate shop primer ion Grey and is designed to be fully weldable and cuttable. When welding new steel to the steel coated with Armaweld, the weld will have better penetration with the minimum amount of burn back.
- Can be sprayed or brushed.
- Fast drying – touch dry and ready to weld in approx. 5 minutes at 20c.
- Will not give off harmful fumes during welding.
- Suitable for MIG, TIG and MAG/G-FCAW welding.
Prime as you build with Armaweld
On certain fabrications you will have to build from the inside, such as when an inner sill is fitted before the outer sill can be welded on. This scenario is perfect for our Weld-Thru Primer, as the weld can be cleaned and coated before the application of the outer sill panel. The primer will help to prevent corrosion, but we also recommend injecting the sill with cavity wax once the fabrication is complete.
As always, better surface preparation will ensure the best results. We, therefore, recommend applying Armaweld to steel that has been prepared to at least the St3 standard with hand or mechanical preparation tools such as wire brushes, abrasive wheels etc., or to a higher standard via blasting. (Read our guide to surface preparation standards for more information.)
Armaweld can be applied over steel treated with our Phos-Kleen B rust remover and phosphating solution.
Supplied as a two-component kit, with a mix ratio of 2:3 by volume: 2 parts component A (colour) to 3 part component B (liquid). Please follow the instructions for the best results.
