A water based bonding primer suitable for chalky surfaces
Usage
Additive for waterbased paint and varnish.
Can be used on all surfaces, especially suitable for unstable, chalky and powdery surfaces as well as for difficult surfaces such as glass, plastic, wood, varnished surfaces etc.
Can be used as a primer or mixed with paint.
Properties
E-B acts as a stabiliser, penetrating deep into the surface to firmly bond the first coat of paint to the substrate, thus eliminating need for primer.
Ensures an even coverage and maximum adhesion between the first and second coat of paint.
E-B’s high solids content maintains the inherent characteristics of the paint, improves hiding power and increases coverage by up to 20%.
No peeling.
Odour free.
