Tikkurila Kivitex Silicate Breathable Mineral Primer 10L
Prepare Mineral Surfaces with Tikkurila Kivitex Silicate Breathable Mineral Primer
Prepare mineral surfaces properly with Tikkurila Kivitex Silicate Breathable Mineral Primer 10L — a professional-grade, potassium-silicate-based primer designed to create the perfect foundation before applying silicate paints. Specially formulated for demanding interior and exterior surfaces, this breathable mineral primer:
- Strengthens porous substrates
- Improves adhesion
- Helps achieve a long-lasting, even finish
Enhance Top Coat Performance
Ideal for use before applying Tikkurila Kivitex top coat, this inorganic silicate primer penetrates deeply into mineral surfaces to:
- Stabilise and reinforce the substrate
- Reduce the absorption of the top coat
- Lower paint consumption
- Improve the appearance and durability of the final coating system
Versatile Surface Compatibility
Tikkurila Kivitex Silicate Primer is suitable for a wide range of mineral surfaces, including:
- Concrete
- Lime plaster
- Lime cement plaster
- Cement plaster
- Sand-lime brick
- Previously painted surfaces coated with lime, cement, or silicate paint
Its breathable composition allows moisture vapour to escape naturally from walls, helping reduce the risk of peeling, blistering, and trapped damp — especially important in older buildings and masonry structures.
