Structural steel for the new Michelin plant in Anderson, SC was fabricated by Cooper Steel in Shelbyville, TN. Cooper wanted a shop primer that would offer protection from the elements prior to erection. In addition, it had to dry fast to a smooth consistent film. They chose 100D7744 Inhibitive Shopcoat Primer Cooper Gray. 100D7744 meets or exceeds the performance requirements of SSPC Paint No. 15 and MPI # 79.
