HMG paints launches new range of hybrid coatings

HMG paints has announced the launch of Hydrosol, a new range of hybrid coatings designed for metal fabrication.

These protective coatings bring together the superior performance of solvent-based paints with the environmental advantages of water-based products, says HMG, allowing users the opportunity to reduce their VOC output without compromising in performance. The first product to launch in this range is Hydrosol QD primer.

The primer is an alkyd-based, quick-drying primer designed for ultimate versatility and efficiency. According to the manufacturer it boasts outstanding adhesion, superior moisture resistance, and exceptional corrosion protection, thanks to the incorporation of modified zinc phosphate. Ideal for use on suitably prepared structural steel, chassis, and steel fabrications, this primer can be applied effortlessly using either roller, airless or conventional spray methods.

Early adopters of Hydrosol QD primer are already identifying several benefits including increased coverage compared to competitor products and improved efficiency in application. A key reason for this is volume solids of Hydrosol QD primer which stands at 55% in comparison to approximately 40% for competitor equivalents.

“Our new Hydrosol QD primer represents a significant advancement in protective coatings,” said Paddy Dyson, marketing manager. “This product not only meets the highperformance standards our customers expect from us, but also aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability. It is the first piece of the jigsaw in our Hydrosol brand, with a variety of exciting products set to join this range in the near future.”
