Primers serve as the essential first coat for new or existing masonry, ensuring proper adhesion and surface preparation. They act as binders for friable or chalky substrates and as sealers that create uniform porosity while blocking alkalis and salts that cause efflorescence. Solvent-borne primers, with smaller polymer particles and deeper substrate penetration, provide superior adhesion and durability compared to conventional waterborne systems, making them ideal for renovation and restoration work.
Waterproofing primer-sealers offer long-lasting adhesion on damp, porous, or alkaline surfaces, effectively resisting efflorescence, moisture, and chemical attack. Their high sag resistance, non-yellowing properties, and low odour make them easy to apply even in enclosed spaces. Designed for both protection and performance, these primers form a strong barrier against rising damp, ensuring reliable waterproofing for concrete, brick, plaster, and stone surfaces in demanding environments.
