Zinc-rich primer refers to a type of coating that contains a high concentration of zinc dust. It is used to provide corrosion resistance to metal surfaces by acting as a sacrificial anode, which protects the underlying metal from rust and degradation. This primer is commonly applied in harsh environments where metal protection is crucial.
