SSAB can provide the Hardox® and Strenx® grades with a shop primer that provides an effective corrosion protection of plates and cut lo length sheets during storage, transportation and fabrication. The corrosion protection period is set to 6 month.
Shop primed plates in the Hardox® and Strenx® grades are coated with an inorganic low zinc silicate primer. The thickness of the primer is approximately 10-15 µm. Plates that SSAB keeps in stock are always painted with the primer.
