What does a primer do?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The right base product gives the correct surface for adhesion. It creates a long-lasting, stronger adhesive surface for the undercoat and top coat to stick to.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Full coverage<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to apply a primer to masonry, metal and other wood surfaces for a proper bonding of the paint job.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Primers are particularly useful for porous surfaces, to help cover wood grain and knots, small pores and marks, reducing the need for additional finishing coats.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

High quality finish<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Primers work well on surfaces that are dirty and hard to clean, as it provides a new base for the paint to go on, in addition to hiding stains and preventing discolouration.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a similar colour to your top coat will provide an even colour finish.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Acts as a sealant\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A primer acts as a sealant, preventing mould, even in materials that are not originally water resistant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saves time and money\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The right base products leave you with a high quality finish, whilst saving you time and money, as less coats are needed for a full coverage and you won\u2019t have to worry about chipping, peeling or discoloration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the right primer blocks tannins<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We get regular feedback from our customers that our Zobel primers block tannins better than anything they have ever used before!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zobel primers<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We highly recommend the Zowotec 263 white impregnation primer, the Zowotec 385 intermediate white coat, followed by the Zowotec 480 white or coloured top coat.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Zowotec 385 can be used as a primer without the need to apply an impregnation coat, but applying the\u202fZowotec 263 prior to use enhances the protection and finish.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zowotec 263<\/span><\/b><\/a> is a water-based <\/span>impregnation product, that offers preventative protection against wood-destroying fungi, blue stain and insects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For best results, <\/span>Zowotec 263 <\/span>should be applied prior to the\u202fZowotec 385.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zowotec 385<\/span><\/b><\/a> is a sprayable water-based intermediate coat, which protects against the discolouration of wood. It has high covering power, fast layer build-up and good sandability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zowotec 480<\/span><\/b><\/a> should be applied after priming and is available in <\/span>RAL 9016 and RAL 9010 as standard, or can be mixed to any RAL colour and other standard paint colours, as well as in dull-matt, matt or\u202fsilk gloss.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
