Royal Coatings AQ610

Royal AQ610 Primer is a universal primer for steel fabrication that does not use submerged arc welding. Formulated using Royal’s proprietary Flash Dry Technology surface rust is completely encapsulated with no bleed through. In addition to its outstanding protection properties, it significantly reduces the hazards of working with volatile compounds found in other VOC coatings. Royal AQ610 Primer cannot ignite and because it does not create any toxic vapors, the odor, headaches, and nausea often associated with other coatings are completely eliminated. Royal AQ610 Primer provides greater corrosion resistance for metals and greater health protection for workers.
