Primer TIKKURILA OPTIVA PRIMER 2.7L — surface primer for interior and exterior use, 2.7 L

Tikkurila Optiva Primer 2.7L is a waterborne surface primer formulated for preparation of interior and exterior substrates before application of decorative paints and protective coatings. Supplied in a 2.7-litre container, the primer evens out surface absorbency, improves adhesion of subsequent topcoats and contributes to a more uniform finish on common building materials. It is intended for use where a priming layer is recommended to create a stable base for finishing systems.

Advantages

The primer delivers consistent porosity equalisation and enhances the bond between substrate and finishing paint, reducing the risk of uneven sheen and patchiness. Its waterborne composition allows easier application and faster drying compared with solvent-based primers, while being suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The product helps increase the durability of topcoats and can contribute to material- and color-saving by reducing paint consumption of subsequent layers.

Suitable for

• Interior walls and ceilings made of plaster, gypsum board and concrete
• Exterior masonry, rendered surfaces and concrete facades
• Previously painted surfaces requiring improved adhesion or even absorbency
• Substrates before application of waterborne decorative and protective paints

Key specifications

• Volume: 2.7 litres
• Type: waterborne surface primer for interior and exterior use
• Function: adhesion promotion and absorbency equalisation
• Suitable substrates: plaster, gypsum board, concrete, masonry, previously painted surfaces
• Application methods: brush, roller or spray

How to use

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and free from loose particles, dust, grease and efflorescence prior to application. Stir the primer thoroughly before use. Apply one even coat using an appropriate brush, roller or spray equipment, ensuring full coverage and saturation of the surface. Allow the primer to dry according to ambient conditions before applying finishing coats; ventilation and temperature will affect drying times. If necessary on very absorbent or uneven surfaces, a second coat may be applied after the first coat has dried.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application. Test a small area if compatibility with existing coatings or substrates is unknown. Store the product in a frost-free environment and protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
