A primer serves two main purposes:
- it is an ant-corrosion layer
- it increases the adhesion of subsequent coats to the substrate
The primer needs to be applied before the prepared surface has deteriorated; ideally this would be as soon as possible after completion of surface preparation. The available time to apply the primer is dependent upon environmental conditions at the time: humid, dusty conditions mean that the prepared surface will degrade more quickly than in cool, dry conditions.
