Water-based white primer with a film preserver
Product specifications
On delivery
The stated values represent typical product characteristics and are not to be construed as binding product specifications.
Field of application
- For use on exterior wood
- Soft and hard woods
- Dimensionally stable wood building elements: e.g. windows and doors
- Wood building elements with limited dimensional stability, e.g. folding shutters, matchboarding, summerhouses
- Wood building elements with no dimensional stability: e.g. fences, framework, carports, planking
Properties
- Ready to apply by dipping or flow-coating
- Less discolouration due to water-soluble substances in the wood
- Good flow characteristics on untreated and impregnated wood
- Good pore wetting performance
- Outstanding (wet) adhesion
- Film preserver protects against microbial damage
-
Preparation
-
Substrate requirements
The substrate must be clean, dry, free of dust, grease and loose substances, and prepared in the correct manner.
Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%
Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%
-
Preparations
If necessary, impregnate non-resistant woods with a wood preservative* (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).
Observe BFS Code of Practice No. 18 "Coatings on Wood and Wooden Working Materials in Outdoor Areas".

-
Application
-
Stir well, including during application or after a break in work.
Qualified specialist companies: brushing, dipping, flow-coating and spraying in closed systems only.
Once dry, apply an intermediate coat of this or another suitable product.
Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.
-
Application instructions
-
Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.
The best flow results on Accoya, oak and chestnut are achieved at a pH value of 9.0–9.5, corresponding to an additive content of 0.3–0.5% VP 20829 Additive (0366).
If viscosity increases due to evaporation, water must be used to make up for the lost moisture (target viscosity: flow time approx. 30–40 s in a 3 mm ISO cup).
Dilute with up to 10% water to improve flow properties in unfavourable conditions (elevated temperatures, low humidity). Add water to make up for any moisture lost through evaporation.
If foaming occurs in the flow coating facility, it is recommended to add 0.1–0.2% VP 21490 defoaming agent - strength 4.
The product's sealing effect may be impaired if it is diluted too thinly, if the wood is too wet or if the recommended coating sequence, application volumes and drying times are not observed.
With water based coating systems, there is always a residual risk that substances contained in the wood will cause discolouration.
The system finder on our website www.remmers.com contains coating recommendations for specific wood types to be used when treating windows and exterior doors.
-
Drying
Can be overcoated: after approx. 4 hours
(at 23 °C and 50% RH)
When forced drying is applied, can be overcoated: after approx. 90 mins
(20 minutes dripping off time/50 minutes drying time (35–40 °C)/20 minutes cooling time)Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.
-
Thinning
Ready to use.
Dilute with water if necessary (max. 10%).
-
Working tools / cleaning
-
Brush with synthetic bristles, dipping tank, flow coating facility, spraying tunnel
Clean tools with water or Aqua RK-898 Cleaning Concentrate immediately after use.
-
Storage / shelf life
-
If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 12 months.
-
Usage
-
80 - 120 ml/m² per coat
