Selecting the right anti-rust primer depends on substrate (carbon steel, galvanized, aluminum), environment (atmospheric, immersion, chemical), surface preparation (blasted, hand-cleaned), and topcoat system. For blasted steel in industrial atmosphere: water-based epoxy primer (XGE series). For galvanized surfaces: water-based acrylic primer with mist coat/full coat technique. For high-temperature service: water-based silicone-modified primer.
