How the Product Works
Because tiles are liquid‑repellent, most paints struggle to adhere. SPO Tile & Melamine Primer penetrates these slick surfaces, forming an adhesive “bridge” between the tile and your topcoat, reducing risk of peeling or chipping.
Versatile Application
- Indoor Walls: Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms—anywhere tiles are used.
- Protective Layer: Allows topcoats to dry harder, last longer.
Easy to Use
- Brush or Roller: Goes on smoothly with minimal prep—just ensure surfaces are clean and lightly abraded.
- Coverage & Dry Time: ~8 m² per litre, ~12 hours to overcoat.
Durable, Clean Finish
- Reduced Maintenance: Once primed, painted tiles resist chipping even with frequent cleaning.
- Broader Colour Options: Prime first, then pick any topcoat colour you like.
