Our Steel Spec™ product portfolio is a full range of alkyd primers engineered for steel protection—from fast-drying shop coats to high-performance universal finishes. Designed for durability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, these coatings meet rigorous industry standards.

Zinc primers provide excellent corrosion protection for steel by offering two layers of defense. First, they act as a sacrificial anode, meaning the zinc corrodes instead of the steel. Second, they form a physical barrier that blocks moisture and oxygen from reaching the steel surface. This combination of chemical and physical protection makes zinc primers highly effective at preventing corrosion and extending the life of steel structures.

Epoxy coatings are widely used for protecting steel structures due to their exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical durability, and strong adhesion. By forming a protective barrier, these coatings shield steel from moisture, chemicals, and extreme environmental conditions, which is especially important in harsh settings like marine or industrial environments. Their robust adhesion and toughness ensure long-lasting protection against corrosion, abrasion, impact, and wear. This makes epoxy coatings a reliable choice for extending the lifespan and integrity of steel structures.

High-performance topcoats are the final layer in a protective coatings system for structural steel, chosen for their excellent gloss and color retention. They are the first line of defense in the corrosion protection system and must resist everything from weather in outdoor settings to chemical exposure in laboratories to high traffic finishes in a stadium. Their standout feature is superior UV resistance, which helps maintain both appearance and durability in demanding environments. These topcoats not only enhance aesthetics but also extend the life of steel structures. They are designed to be used with zinc rich or epoxy or universal alkyd primers to design systems based on individual project needs.
