The role of primer in multi-layer coating technology of automotive coating machines

Primer plays a vital role in the multi-layer coating technology of automotive coating machines. Its main function is not only to provide a beautiful base layer, but also a key component to ensure the performance of the entire coating system.

The primary function of a primer is to enhance adhesion between coats. As the first layer of painting, it is in direct contact with the metal body surface, providing a good adhesion basis for subsequent topcoats and varnishes. The chemical composition and physical properties of the primer are designed to form a strong bond with the body material, ensuring the durability and stability of the entire coating system.

Car bodies are susceptible to corrosion from environmental factors during use, such as moisture, salt spray and chemicals. Primers usually contain anti-corrosion ingredients, which can effectively prevent moisture and oxygen from penetrating and slow down the oxidation and corrosion process of metal surfaces. By forming a protective barrier, primer significantly extends the life of your car and reduces maintenance costs.

Primer also plays a role in filling and evening out the body surface during the painting process. Since the car body may have minor dents, scratches or surface roughness during the production process, the primer can fill these defects and provide a smooth base for the topcoat. This not only improves topcoat coverage but also ensures the beauty and consistency of the final coat.
