Anti-corrosion paint for C3

Effective anti-corrosion protection is particularly important for protecting metal components and structures from harmful external factors. This category includes anti-corrosion paints with passivating properties that can be used for spray application. Most products are available in any color from the extensive RAL palette.

Where will C3 anti-corrosion protection work?

We offer products designed for corrosion class C3. They are primarily used for exterior steel structures, which are not exposed to aggressive contaminants. Corrosion risks arise primarily from temperature changes, sunlight exposure, precipitation, and periodic exposure to splashes, such as from vehicle traffic. Anti-corrosion paints rated for C3 can be used for:

  • priming steel and galvanized structures in construction,
  • securing machines and devices,
  • protection of support columns,
  • fences, furniture and all metal, aluminum and alloy elements.

Corrosion class C3 indicates a moderately aggressive outdoor environment with moderate sulfur oxide contamination – primarily urban and rural areas. Paints from this category can also be used indoors – in production rooms with moderate humidity.

Anti-corrosion paints for C3 – properties that determine effectiveness

Products offered in this category demonstrate high resistance to water and prolonged sunlight. They contain anti-corrosion pigments, providing effective protection against rust. They create a durable coating on painted surfaces, protecting the substrate from mechanical damage and weathering. They are suitable for outdoor use, as they are resistant to extreme and variable temperatures.

Anti-corrosion primer and protective paints for C3 are available in large packages – an efficient solution that is ideal for industrial use when painting large surfaces is necessary.

A comprehensive offer for professionals

Our product range includes single-component anti-rust primers for C3. These products are quick-drying, allowing you to apply subsequent coats without long waiting times – significantly speeding up your work. The industrial anti-rust primer for C3 does not require the use of separate primers, and its coatings are resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and oils. Are you pressed for time and want to complete your planned work quickly? A good choice is a quick-drying metal paint, which we recommend primarily to steel fabricators.

Planning to paint vertical surfaces and worried that the anti-corrosion paint will run, creating unsightly streaks and reducing its effectiveness? We offer paints with trixotropic properties, which determine viscosity and ensure perfect adhesion to the painted surface. If you're looking for a paint that will work well on primed and corrosion-protected surfaces, choose alkyd metal paints. Choose from a wide range of colors and choose from matte, semi-matte, or gloss finishes.

FAQ: Anti-corrosion paint for C3

C3 is a medium corrosivity class according to PN-EN ISO 12944-2. It is suitable for urban and industrial environments, coastal areas with low salinity, and humid production facilities (breweries, dairies, food processing plants). This is the most common environment for fences, gates, railings, roofs of single-family homes, and lightweight steel structures. For C3, the paint—and above all, the coating thickness—is selected based on the required durability.

Thickness is selected based on the required durability period from the PN-EN ISO 12944-1 standard: short L (up to 7 years), medium M (7–15 years), long H (15–25 years). For class C3, approximately 100 μm (L), 120–160 μm (M), and 180 μm (H) of dry film thickness are assumed, respectively. Dry thickness is checked with a comb or thickness gauge—not to be confused with wet thickness, which is higher and depends on the solids content of the product.

Typically not – the surface should be cleaned of rust to a grade of Sa 2.5. If this is not possible, apply a rust remover (e.g., Neodur Metalforce) to any remaining corrosion spots or choose a special paint designed for application to rust (e.g., Stal-Kor). Skipping this step will shorten the life of the coating, regardless of its thickness.

Single-component products are particularly suitable for C3: alkyd paints for metal, paints for galvanized roofs, 2-in-1 primers and topcoats (primer and topcoat in one), and single-component anti-corrosion primers. These primers contain zinc phosphates and are thixotropic, which prevents runoff from vertical surfaces and provides good coverage. They are an economical solution for medium-duty jobs.
