In harsh mining environments, reliable surface prep is the foundation of long-lasting protection. CRC Etch-10 delivers exceptional adhesion and corrosion resistance – ensuring equipment stays primed for the long haul.
Mining equipment doesn’t get the luxury of ideal conditions. Exposed to dust, moisture, and corrosive materials, every surface – from buckets to brackets – needs to be protected against wear, rust, and failure. That protection starts with proper preparation.
CRC Etch-10 is a high-performance red oxide vinyl etch primer, designed to deliver outstanding adhesion and corrosion resistance across a wide range of metal surfaces. Whether you’re working with steel, aluminium, stainless, copper or galvanised metal, Etch-10 is formulated to bond hard and hold strong.
In these kinds of environments, you can’t cut corners on surface prep. A good primer does more than help the topcoat stick – it prevents corrosion, reduces rework, and extends the life of your assets.
Etch-10 uses a vinyl resin formulation to create a flexible, yet impermeable barrier, making it ideal for industrial and outdoor applications where water and contaminants are a constant threat. The finish is tough, quick drying, and suitable for overcoating with most standard decorative or protective paint systems.
