Aircraft Primer Catalog 

When painting for a project, a coat of primer is very beneficial, no matter the material or surface. Primer serves as the base paint for a topcoat, allowing the painter to save time and paint on multiple coatings that would be needed to make uniform coverage without a primer. Benefits of a primer coat also include the prevention of bleed through, hiding seams, or preventing stains. Common types of primers include oil-based, water-based, and all-in-one paint and primers. Different types of primers may serve various materials, such as oil-based primers for doors and water-based primers for new drywall.

When finishing an aircraft for the means of implementing protection for exterior structures, aircraft primer paint is often overlooked and underestimated. As the foundation of a finish, primers bond to the surface of an aircraft so that metallic corrosion is avoided and finish coats may be anchored with ease. With various types of primers commonly being used for finishing an aircraft, it can be useful to familiarize oneself with the most common variations.

Wash primers are a type of water-thin phosphoric acid coating with a solution of vinyl butyral resin, alcohol, and other various substances. With minimal amounts of filling and solids, the wash primer can form an adhesive base for another primer coating type, all while implementing corrosion resistance. It is important to consider the fact that wash primers have short intervals between required reapplications, thus it is important to follow the instructions or specifications of aircraft primer manufacturers.

Epoxy is also a standard primer type, acting as a synthetic, thermosetting resin that may produce a chemical-resistant coating that is highly robust. To achieve a chemical activation, epoxies require a catalyst despite not being a hazardous material. In general, the softness of epoxy makes it desirable as a non-sanding primer for bare metal, regularly implemented on steel tube frames before a covering is added.

When a corrosion-resistant pigment is desired for a primer such as epoxy or polyurethane, zinc chromate is a great choice. Depending on whether the zinc chromate primer is an older type or a more modern variation, the color may be a bright yellow or a light green. In order to protect an aircraft from corrosion, the zinc chromate reacts with the metal surface it is applied to when moisture is present in the air, causing a passive layer to be created that mitigates corrosion. While once a standard primer, newer types have surpassed zinc chromates in regard to environmental friendliness.
