Tikkurila Otex Adhesion Primer is a single pack solvent-based adhesion primer suitable for priming...Tikkurila Otex Adhesion Primer is a single pack solvent-based adhesion primer suitable for priming and undercoating both new and previously painted surfaces. It adheres well to tricky surfaces such as glass, tiles, glass fibre, melamine, PVC-plastic, aluminium, zinc-coated sheet metal, and surfaces coated with alkyd and acid-curing paint, making it a brilliant multipurpose priming solution. It is also suitable for wood, wood fibre board, chipboard, and metal surfaces in dry interior premises. For interior surfaces that require excellent adhesion and exterior window frames painted with polyurethane or catalytic paints, this primer is highly recommended. Apply with a brush, roller, or spray for ease of application. It has a full matt, highly adhesive finish. The minimum content for this size is 900ml, with Tikkurila products canned in Finland filled at 10% less than the unit of measure to allow for tinting. It is suitable for interior and exterior use, creates a solid base for topcoats, and works especially well on tricky surfaces that require an adhesive base to ensure durable and long-lasting results. This solvent-based alkyd solution can be tinted to a wide range of shades to enhance colour opacity of your topcoat.
