Mipa Active Primer is a chromate-free 2K wash primer developed as an adhesion primer for non-ferrous metal surfaces. Its yellow-green translucent appearance makes it easy to recognise during application, while Mipa Active Primer 2K Wash Primer Chromate-Free itself is shaped for the first stage of a proper coating build on aluminium, zinc and other non-ferrous substrates that need a dedicated primer before filler or topcoat work. It is a preparation product with a very clear task, and that clarity is exactly what makes it valuable in professional refinishing.
The main strength of this primer is how directly it serves metal preparation. It is not a build-heavy filler and it is not meant to replace the next stages in the paint process. Its place is right at the beginning, where secure adhesion and corrosion control need to be established on correctly prepared metal. That makes it relevant for repair sections, replacement panels, exposed metal edges and fabricated parts that need the coating system to start on the right footing. The film remains thin, making it suitable as a functional base instead of a levelling coat.
Because it is a 2K wash primer, it belongs in paint systems that call for an adhesion-promoting acid primer before further coating. In practice, that means it is chosen for substrate discipline more than for visual effect. Mipa Active Primer 2K Wash Primer Chromate-Free supports reliable onward coating when used within the specified recoating window and when the next material is compatible with wash-primer work. For that reason it is a familiar material in bodyshop and metal refinishing environments where correct system order matters just as much as the finish itself.
This primer prepares the substrate for the next coating step with dependable adhesion, controlled build and a cleaner base for finishing. How is it used? Mipa Active Primer is used as the first primer on prepared non-ferrous metals before the following coating stages are applied. It is especially suited to aluminium and zinc surfaces that need an adhesion-promoting base rather than a filling layer. In everyday refinishing work, it is chosen for repair areas, exposed metal sections and prepared replacement parts where the coating system needs to begin with a dedicated 2K wash primer. The result is a clean starting layer that supports adhesion, corrosion protection and a more dependable build through the next coating steps.
