High Performance Red Oxide Primer offers maximum protection from rust on fabricated carbon steel I-Beams, Channel, Angle and Plate Steel. **High Performance Steel Primers** are recommended for fabrication jobs where the steel will be exposed to the elements for prolonged periods. Ideal for public work or any project given to delays during fabrication or erection.

Krylon High Performance Red Oxide [steel primer](https://www.thesteelsupplyco.com/basic-shop-coat-primer) does require greater drying time than standard shop coats.
