What is Sabeto Shield Metal Primer?
Sabeto Shield Metal Primer is a water-based, 1-component primer for iron and steel. It is used as an anti-corrosive primer before applying water-based coating and waterproofing systems such as Sabeto Shield Coating.
The primer helps prepare suitable metal surfaces and supports adhesion within the complete system build-up. Primer selection, surface preparation and consumption must always be assessed according to metal type, surface condition, exposure and project requirements.
Key product points
• Water-based, 1-component metal primer
• For iron and steel
• Anti-corrosive primer before water-based coating systems
• Suitable for new and existing metal surfaces
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Requires suitable preparation of the metal surface before application
Application areas
Sabeto Shield Metal Primer can be used on suitable metal surfaces before applying Sabeto Shield Coating.
Typical application areas include:
- Iron
- Steel
- New metal surfaces
- Existing metal surfaces
- Outdoor metal surfaces requiring anti-corrosive protection
- Technical metal areas, details and local repairs
The metal surface must be dry, clean and free from dust, oil, grease, rust, loose material and weak coatings before application.

Role in the coating system
Sabeto Shield Metal Primer is applied before Sabeto Shield Coating to prepare the metal surface, support adhesion and contribute to anti-corrosive protection within the complete coating system.

A typical workflow includes:
- Inspection and assessment of the metal surface
- Mechanical cleaning, sanding or other suitable preparation
- Removal of dust, oil, grease and loose material
- Application of Sabeto Shield Metal Primer
- Drying time before the following layer
- Application of Sabeto Shield Coating according to the recommended system build-up
Application notes
The product must be stirred before use and can be applied by roller, brush or suitable spray equipment depending on the project and substrate.
Do not apply under wet conditions, during rain or if rain is expected before the primer has dried. The substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point.
Where increased anti-corrosive protection is required, an additional primer layer may be relevant. This must be assessed according to surface condition, exposure and project requirements.
