Colormet Adhesion Primer WB is a water-dispersed acrylic primer specially formulated to prime smooth, dense surfaces where other paint formulations would fail to adhere.
It possesses excellent flow properties and UV resistance and remains flexible when dry, with a satin finish.
Typical Uses
Colormet Adhesion Primer WB is part of the Colormet range and is primarily used with Colormet Ultra topcoat. It is however a truly universal primer, being compatible with a wide range of other water-based paints as well as adhering to the most problematic smooth surfaces, and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Its low odour water-based formulation is non-toxic and ideal for food environments.
