Feature Breakdown

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.
