PREBOND-ARC — Two-Coat Protective Coating System
A practical two-coat system combining a rust-converter-cum ceramic metal-bond primer base coat (PREBOND-CR) with a high-performance chemical and corrosion-resistant topcoat paint (PREBOND-220), engineered for demanding chemical processing, infrastructure, automotive, commercial and marine applications.

Two-Coat Protective System
| Coat | Product | Function | Typical DFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Coat | PREBOND-CR | Rust Converter-cum Ceramic Metal Primer / Intermediate Bond Coat | 60–75 µm micron DFT per coat |
| 2nd Coat | PREBOND-220 | Strong Acid, Alkali Fumes & Corrosion Protective Topcoat | 60–75 µm micron DFT per coat |
| Total System | PREBOND-CR + PREBOND-220 | Two-coat protective system for aggressive environments | 120–150 µm micron DFT overall in two coats |
PREBOND-CR
Rust Converter-cum Ceramic Metal Primer
PREBOND-CR is a high-performance, single-component, ready-to-use ceramic metal primer formulated with silicone-modified polymer technology and ultrafine nano-ceramic pigments. It is designed as a rust-converter-cum surface-tolerant intermediate primer for metal substrates and can be applied by conventional brush, roller or spray. The coating promotes strong adhesion between the substrate and subsequent topcoat while providing an additional protective barrier in corrosive environments.

Surface Preparation & Application Procedure
Surface preparation is very important for long-term coating performance. Prepare the surface to a sound and suitably clean condition appropriate to the substrate and service environment.
- 1Clean the substrate thoroughly using wire-brush, sand-paper or grinding; remove loose rust, dust, grease, oil, old flaking coatings, salts and other contaminants.
- 2Apply one coat of PREBOND-CR (Rust Converter-cum Ceramic Metal Primer) by brush, roller or spray. Allow approximately 06–12 hours before re-coating, subject to site conditions.
- 3Apply one coat of PREBOND-220 (Anti Corrosion Chemical Resistant Topcoat Paint) as the final protective topcoat, once the primer is adequately dry and free from contamination.
- 4For highly-corrosive and highly-acidic/alkaline environments, target an overall two-coat DFT of approximately 120–150 µm microns.
- 5Allow the coating to cure adequately before exposing the system to severe chemical, immersion or service conditions.
Application Methods: Brush • Roller • Conventional Spray • Suitable Airless Spray equipment, subject to product viscosity and site conditions.
