What Is Alkali Resisting Wall Primer?
Alkali resisting wall primer is a specialized primer used on newly plastered walls, cement surfaces, and concrete to block alkalinity. Fresh plaster naturally contains salts and chemicals that can attack paint, causing blistering or fading.
This primer creates a protective barrier between the wall and your topcoat, ensuring:
- Longer-lasting paintwork
- A smoother finish
- Prevention of efflorescence
- Reduced chances of peeling and chalking
If you want your paint to stay clean and vibrant for years, an alkali-resistant primer is non-negotiable.
Why You Should Use Alkali Resisting Primer
✔ 1. Protects Paint From Harsh Chemicals
Freshly plastered walls release alkaline salts that can destroy paint. This primer neutralizes these salts before painting.
✔ 2. Prevents Paint Peeling and Blistering
It locks the wall surface and provides a stable foundation for your paint.
✔ 3. Ensures Better Adhesion
Your topcoat grips onto the surface better, giving a smooth and professional finish.
✔ 4. Saves Money in the Long Run
By preventing future damage, you avoid costly repainting.
✔ 5. Works on Interior and Exterior Walls
From living rooms to perimeter walls, it offers versatile performance.
