Crest - Plaster Primer 200 Water Based 20L

Crest – Plaster Primer 200 Water-Based – 20L

Prepare your walls for a flawless, long-lasting paint finish with Crest Plaster Primer 200 Water-Based – a professional-grade acrylic primer designed specifically for sealing and stabilising new plaster, masonry, and cement-based surfaces. This high-performance primer penetrates deep into the surface, binding loose particles, reducing porosity, and creating the perfect foundation for both water-based and solvent-based topcoats.

Whether you’re a contractor handling a large commercial development or a homeowner tackling a renovation, the 20L contractor pack ensures consistent quality and excellent coverage across large surface areas.

A Strong Foundation for Lasting Results

Bare plaster can be highly absorbent, uneven in texture, and prone to premature paint failure if not properly primed. Crest Plaster Primer 200 solves these problems by:

• Sealing the substrate to reduce absorbency, preventing patchy or uneven drying of topcoats.

• Improving adhesion so the paint film bonds more effectively to the surface.

• Providing a uniform base colour that enhances the depth and vibrancy of finishing coats.

By locking down loose particles and filling microscopic pores, it also increases the lifespan of the paint system, making it a crucial first step for any painting project.

Formulated with advanced water-based acrylic technology, Crest Plaster Primer 200 offers outstanding versatility for both interior and exterior use. It dries quickly, has a low odour for more comfortable application in occupied spaces, and cleans up easily with water – making it an environmentally friendlier choice compared to traditional solvent-based primers.
