Multi-Prep Primers for Versatile Applications
Multi-prep primers provide an all-in-one solution for various surfaces, offering excellent adhesion and coverage to ensure your topcoat goes on smoothly. Choose from acrylic and oil-based multi-prep options to suit different materials, including timber, metal, and previously painted surfaces. Multi-prep primers are designed to simplify preparation by providing versatility across indoor and outdoor projects.
Water-Based Primers & Undercoats
Water-based primers and undercoats offer an eco-friendly and easy-to-use option for preparing walls, ceilings, and woodwork. Known for their quick drying time and low odour, these products are suitable for a range of surfaces, making them ideal for general household applications. Water-based primers and undercoats are especially effective on interior surfaces, providing a solid foundation for both acrylic and oil-based topcoats.
Oil-Based Primers for Superior Adhesion
For challenging surfaces and situations where extra durability is needed, oil-based primers offer exceptional adhesion and stain-blocking properties. These primers are particularly useful on tough surfaces such as bare timber, previously painted surfaces, and areas prone to stains or high wear. Oil-based primers provide a solid foundation, enhancing the durability of your topcoat and helping it adhere to the surface effectively.
Stain Blockers for Problematic Surfaces
Stain blockers are specially formulated to cover and seal stains, marks, and imperfections on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. Ideal for areas affected by water damage, smoke, or tannin stains, these primers create a barrier that prevents stains from bleeding through the topcoat. Zinsser's stain-blocking primers are known for their high performance, giving you a clean slate to work with and ensuring a consistent finish.
Adhesion Primers for Smooth & Hard Surfaces
Adhesion primers are designed to bond with difficult surfaces, such as glass, tiles, and metals, providing a strong base for your paint. These primers are essential for achieving a long-lasting finish on smooth or non-porous materials where regular primers might struggle. An adhesion primer ensures that your paint adheres securely, extending the life and appearance of your finish.
Natural Timber Sealers for Wood Protection
Natural timber sealers protect and enhance the natural beauty of timber surfaces, making them ideal for both interior and exterior woodwork. Formulated with quality oils, these sealers penetrate the wood to prevent moisture damage and extend the life of your timber. Cabot's timber sealer oils are known for their ability to enrich wood grain while providing essential protection, making them a great choice for preparing outdoor furniture, decking, and exposed wood surfaces.
