Product Details
Owatrol E-B is a high-penetrating, stir-in paint additive designed for water-based masonry or interior paints. This product is ideal for addressing peeling issues on porous surfaces, making it especially suitable for chalky, powdery, and unstable substrates like crumbling brickwork or render.
Deep Penetration: E-B penetrates deeply into surfaces, creating a strong bond between the first coat of paint and the substrate. This eliminates the need for a separate primer, making your painting process more efficient.
Color Integrity: E-B mixes easily without altering the original color of the paint, ensuring your desired finish is achieved.
Why Choose Owatrol E-B?
E-B simplifies the painting process on difficult substrates. Mixing it with your first coat ensures a strong, peel-resistant bond, eliminating the need for a separate primer. This makes it perfect for interior plaster, allowing the first coat of the final color to serve as both primer and mist coat.
Versatility: Owatrol E-B can be used as a primer replacement or mixed with paint, bonding effectively to a wide range of surfaces including plaster, masonry, wood, glass, plastic, and varnished surfaces.
Ideal Uses for Owatrol E-B
- Additive for Water-Based Paint and Varnish: Enhances the performance and coverage of your paint.
- Use on All Porous Surfaces: Perfect for stabilizing and priming a variety of substrates.
- High Solids Content: Maintains paint characteristics, improves hiding power, and increases coverage by up to 20%.
- Ensures Even Coverage: Provides maximum adhesion between coats, ensuring a smooth, professional finish.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, free from grease, loose debris, or flaking paint. Wash dirty surfaces with water and detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry. Remove any mildew with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 3 parts water) mixed with detergent, rinse and allow to dry.
