Description

Interlux Interior Primer is a high-quality, specially formulated primer designed for use on interior surfaces. It is typically used as a base coat before applying paints or finishes, ensuring better adhesion and a smoother, more durable finish. It is widely used in both residential and commercial settings for interior painting projects, especially in areas exposed to moderate wear and moisture.

Key Features of Interlux Interior Primer:

1. Excellent Adhesion:
   One of the primary functions of Interlux Interior Primer is to enhance the adhesion of topcoats (paints or finishes) to various surfaces, such as drywall, plaster, wood, and previously painted surfaces. This ensures that the final coat will adhere better and last longer.

2. Seals and Prepares Surfaces:
   The primer seals porous surfaces like drywall and unpainted wood, preventing the paint from being absorbed unevenly. This helps in achieving a uniform, smooth finish after the topcoat is applied.

3. Improved Durability:
   Interlux Interior Primer helps increase the durability and longevity of the paint or finish that will be applied over it. It can reduce the risk of peeling, cracking, or fading of the topcoat over time, especially in high-traffic areas.

4. Smooth Finish:
   It creates a smooth, even surface that makes the application of the final coat easier. This reduces imperfections, allowing for a more professional-looking finish when the final topcoat is applied.

5. Quick Drying:
   The primer typically dries quickly, allowing for faster turnaround on painting projects. Depending on the product and environmental conditions, you can often apply the topcoat after just a couple of hours.

6. Versatile Application:
   Interlux Interior Primer is suitable for use on a variety of interior surfaces, including drywall, wood, plaster, and masonry. It works effectively for both new construction and repainting projects.

7. Low Odor:
   Many Interlux Interior Primers are designed with a low-odor formula, making them suitable for use in indoor spaces without causing discomfort due to strong chemical smells. This is especially helpful in areas with limited ventilation.

Common Applications:

• Drywall and Plaster: Interlux Interior Primer is ideal for use on drywall and plaster surfaces before painting. It seals the porous surface, preventing uneven absorption of paint.
• Wood and Trim: It is perfect for priming wooden surfaces, ensuring a strong bond for the topcoat and preventing the wood from absorbing too much paint.
• Previously Painted Surfaces: It can also be used to refresh or prepare previously painted walls or trim before applying a new coat of paint.
• Masonry: It is useful for priming brick, concrete, and other masonry surfaces in interior settings, ensuring better paint adhesion and coverage.

How to Use Interlux Interior Primer:

1. Surface Preparation:
   Clean the surface to be primed, removing any dust, dirt, grease, or other contaminants. For wood or drywall, patch any cracks or holes and sand the surface smooth. Make sure the surface is dry before applying the primer.

2. Apply the Primer:
   Stir the primer thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency. Using a brush, roller, or sprayer, apply the primer evenly over the surface. Ensure full coverage of the area to prevent any patchy spots.

3. Drying Time:
   Allow the primer to dry as per the manufacturer’s instructions (usually a couple of hours). The drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity.

4. Apply the Topcoat:
   Once the primer is dry, apply the chosen topcoat (paint or finish). If necessary, apply additional coats of primer or topcoat, allowing each layer to dry completely before proceeding.

5. Cleanup:
   Clean any brushes, rollers, or equipment used with water or the recommended solvent while the primer is still wet.

Benefits of Interlux Interior Primer:

• Enhanced Paint Finish: The primer creates an ideal base for the paint, helping it to look smoother and more even once applied.
• Prevents Staining: Seals stains or marks on walls or surfaces, such as water stains or tannin bleed from wood, preventing them from showing through the topcoat.
• Durability: By improving adhesion, the primer helps prevent the topcoat from peeling or cracking prematurely, extending the life of your paint job.
• Efficiency: Reduces the number of coats needed for full coverage, saving time and effort in the long run.
