Primer

Primer paints, often referred to as undercoats, are an important component in painting technology and play a crucial role in preparing surfaces for subsequent painting. These special paints are applied to the surface to be coated to ensure improved adhesion, durability and aesthetic quality of the subsequent paint coats.

One of the main purposes of primers is to prepare and seal the surface to ensure even and durable adhesion of the subsequent paint film. By applying a primer, imperfections, pores and other surface defects can be evened out, resulting in a smoother and more appealing surface.

In addition, primer paints also serve to protect the surface from corrosion, moisture and other environmental influences. They form a barrier between the substrate and the paint film applied to it to improve the overall durability and resistance of the coating.

Primers can have different formulations depending on the requirements of the specific application. They can be water-based or solvent-based and contain various resins, pigments and additives to ensure optimal adhesion and performance on a variety of substrates.

Overall, primer coatings play a crucial role in creating high quality and durable coatings. They help to prepare, protect and improve the surface to ensure optimal adhesion and aesthetic quality of the subsequent paint layers.
