AndCoat 305 – One-Coat Vinyl Acrylic Anti-Corrosive Primer/Finish
AndCoat 305 is a vinyl acrylic, one-coat anti-corrosive primer and finish designed for direct application to steelwork and galvanised metal without the need for an etch primer. It provides a durable, semi-gloss finish with excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for gates, fences, silos, feed containers, and agricultural steel structures.
Highly resistant to moisture, weak acids, and alkalis, AndCoat 305 offers reliable long-term protection in tough environments. It’s an effective alternative to Steelbond 2143 and Amercoat 2143, combining primer and topcoat performance in one easy-to-apply product.
