Overall Water Base Acrylic Primer

Description

Overall Water Base Acrylic Primer is an eco-friendly, high-quality primer designed for use on a variety of interior and exterior surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion, durability, and a smooth finish for topcoats. This water-based primer is ideal for preparing surfaces before applying acrylic paints, emulsion paints, or enamels, ensuring that the paint adheres properly and lasts longer.

Key Features:

1. Water-Based Formula:
   • Non-toxic, low-odor, and easy to clean up with water, making it safer to use and more environmentally friendly compared to solvent-based primers.
2. Excellent Adhesion:
   • Provides a strong bond between the substrate and the topcoat, improving the durability of the paint and reducing peeling or flaking.
3. Quick Drying:
   • Fast-drying formula that allows for quicker application of subsequent coats, saving time during the painting process.
4. Smooth Finish:
   • Creates a smooth, even surface for painting, ensuring that the topcoat applies uniformly and looks professional.
5. Versatile:
   • Suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces, including wood, plaster, concrete, masonry, and drywall, both interior and exterior.
6. Low VOC:
   • Low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safer for both users and the environment compared to traditional solvent-based primers.

Applications:

• Wood:
  • Ideal for preparing wood surfaces before applying acrylic paints or varnishes. It helps to seal the surface, reducing paint absorption and providing a smooth base for finishing.
• Masonry and Concrete:
  • Perfect for concrete walls, floors, and other masonry surfaces, improving paint adhesion and preventing uneven coverage.
• Drywall:
  • Provides a great base for acrylic paints on drywall, improving paint performance and ensuring even coverage.
• Plaster Surfaces:
  • Works well on fresh plaster or surfaces that have been patched or repaired, providing a uniform base for the final coat of paint.

Technical Specifications:

• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Finish: Matte or satin (depending on formulation)
• Coverage:
  • Approximately 8–12 m² per liter per coat (depending on surface texture and porosity).
• Drying Time:
  • Touch Dry: 30–60 minutes
  • Recoating Time: 2–4 hours (depending on humidity and temperature)
• Application Method: Brush, roller, or spray

Preparation & Application:

Surface Preparation:

1. Clean the Surface:
   • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, grease, and any previous coatings. For porous surfaces like plaster or masonry, ensure they are completely dry before applying the primer.
2. Repair Surface Imperfections:
   • Fill cracks, holes, and other surface imperfections using a suitable filler before priming to ensure a smooth and even finish.

Application Process:

1. Stir the Primer:
   • Stir the primer well to ensure even consistency. If necessary, dilute with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Apply the Primer:
   • Use a brush, roller, or spray gun to apply an even coat of primer on the surface. Work in small sections to ensure even coverage.
3. Allow Drying:
   • Allow the primer to dry for the recommended time (usually 30–60 minutes for touch dry and 2–4 hours for recoating). Ensure the surface is fully dry before applying additional coats or topcoats.
4. Topcoat Application:
   • Once the primer is dry, apply the desired topcoat (acrylic, emulsion, or enamel paint) for a smooth and professional finish.

Advantages:

• Eco-Friendly: Water-based formula is less harmful to the environment and safer to use indoors.
• Fast Drying: Quick drying time reduces waiting time between coats and speeds up the overall painting process.
• Good Coverage: Ensures even and smooth coverage, improving the appearance and durability of the final paint.
• Low Odor: Ideal for indoor use due to its low odor and non-toxic properties.
• Easy Clean-up: Can be cleaned up easily with water, reducing the need for harsh chemicals.

Safety Precautions:

• Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation during application to minimize inhalation of fumes, even though the primer is low in odor.
• Protective Gear: Wear gloves and goggles to avoid skin or eye contact with the primer.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store in a safe place to avoid accidental ingestion or exposure.
