Home > IL Primer


Technical Characteristics

IL PRIMER is a special, infilling, adhesive primer, ideal for rustic plasterwork, civil plaster, gypsum plasters, alkaline surfaces, loose and crumbling plaster, old wall surfaces and highly porous substrates in general. The product permeates deeply, consolidating the support, and is highly vapour permeable and consolidating.

It consolidates the substrate on to which it is applied making the plaster more compact, thus enabling easy anchorage of lime based products, old style stuccos, screeds, paints which are applied thickly, decorative glazes and slightly uneven, old style, decorative finishes. The product has a low level of odour, is non inflammable and is friendly to both humans and the environment.
