Wall primer sealer

A low odor, microporous, waterborne wall primer with high coverage and excellent adhesion to most surfaces. Particularly recommended for preparation with Little Greene's water-based emulsions. Excellent for priming porous and highly absorbent surfaces indoors and outdoors.

• Gloss level matt: (below 6%)
• Theoretical coverage: 13 sqm / liter (varies depending on surface porosity and structure)
• Recommended dry layer thickness: 30 micrometers per layer
• Recommended coats: 1 coat
• Hand dry: After 1st hour
• Time until recoating: Min. 4 hours
• Volume solids: approx. 32%
• Available pack sizes 2 and 5 liters

Existing paint layer: Remove all loose and crumbling paint. Degrease with a suitable solution, such as lye. Rub thoroughly with medium-grit sandpaper to obtain a flat and intact surface and to even out areas where the paint has been removed. Make any repairs, sand and apply primer as necessary to the paint-free surface.

Freshly plastered walls: Allow the fresh plaster to dry sufficiently for at least four weeks. Primer is recommended to be applied crosswise with a brush so that the liquid penetrates optimally into the surface material and seals it. In general, the surface must be dry, clean, stable, free of grease and free of contamination and separating substances such as sinter layers, resins, waxes, oils, release agents, etc. The substrate or old paint to be coated must be checked for compatibility with the new material. See also VOB, DIN 18363, part C, paragraph 3, painting and varnishing work. This product is not suitable for priming lime and silicate substrates.

Stir well before use. Do not apply to surfaces if the temperature during painting or drying is below 5°C or there is a high risk of rain. To achieve good penetration, apply liberally but avoid noses.

Brush: Use a high quality plastic bristle brush of the appropriate size for the project. New brushes should be washed in clean water and dried thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Do not immerse the brush too deeply in the paint so that the paint does not get under the clamping ring. Avoid drips and splashes by not picking up too much paint with the brush. Apply paint evenly and only expand the painting area so that areas that are still damp can still be applied.

For best results, always apply the final brush strokes in the same direction and never paint over paint that has already begun to dry. For nested objects or locations where high ambient temperatures/strong air currents cannot be avoided, the open time can be increased by adding 10 to 15% (v/v) of an appropriate gradient optimizer. This is also recommended for large flat surfaces, although in such cases the use of a paint roller is recommended.

Roller: For best results on smooth surfaces, use a short-pile fur roller. For textured surfaces, use a longer-nap roller as needed to achieve even and thorough coverage. Always carry out the last roller movements in the same direction and always connect to areas that are still damp. Never paint over paint that has already begun to dry, as this will result in visible overlapping and streaking. If high ambient temperatures/strong air currents cannot be avoided, the open time can be increased by adding 10 to 15% (v/v) of a suitable flow optimizer.

Spray on:

Conventional
Dilute with up to: 50% (v/v) water
Nozzle size: 1.60 to 2.00 mm (62 to 78 thou)
Air pressure: 0.28 to 0.41 MPa (40 to 60 psi)
Airless

The work materials should be cleaned with water immediately after use. Never store brushes and rollers in water as this will impair their application performance.

Store unused paint in a cool, dry, frost-free place and away from direct sunlight. Ensure closures are securely and correctly closed after use. If unopened and stored under the above conditions, this product has a shelf life of at least two years.
