Trade professionals
can face a multitude of challenges on a job, from stubborn stains to difficult
surfaces and problems such as mould and mildew, but now thanks to leading paint
brand Crown Trade, all the solutions can be found inside just one tin.
Crown Trade’s new high
performance all-purpose PX primer range has been specifically developed to
achieve excellent opacity and adhesion on even tricky surfaces such as tiles
and ceramics, as well as helping to block stains and offer protection from alkaline
attack.
The new range offers a
choice between the traditional solvent-based stain-blocking PX3 primer and the
new water-based PX4, which also features the added advantage of a quick-drying
and low-odour finish.
Both the new PX3 and
PX4 primers can be used on a wide range of internal and external substrates and
provide a quick and easy solution to preparing even the most difficult surfaces
for painting. Offering excellent wet and dry adhesion, the new primers are the
perfect partner for use in tiled bathroom and kitchen areas as they provide a
hardwearing coating that won’t peel or blister when exposed to water. Also
ideally suited for use on newly plastered walls and masonry, both products can
seal porous surfaces and help prevent damage caused by a high alkaline
content.
Depending on the
condition of the surface being primed, the new PX4 water-based primer can offer
significantly reduced drying times, with the potential to be touch dry in just
30 minutes and recoatable in one hour.
Expertly developed by
Crown’s in-house technical team and chemists, the new PX4 water-based primer
also benefits from an innovative polymer that effectively ‘locks’ stains away
into the primer layer so even the most stubborn marks and discolorations can be
painted over. When used in conjunction with an appropriate fungicidal
wash, both the PX3 and PX4 primers can also effectively prevent stains caused
by mould and mildew from reappearing.
Crown Trade’s new PX
range of primers is designed to give decorators peace of mind of achieving a
superb long-lasting finish every time, no matter how challenging the substrate
may be.
