List of featured suppliers of PRIMERS: TYPES Dispersion on Building Products Index
Primers refer to the initial coating applied to a surface before the top coat. They help to prepare the surface by improving adhesion, hiding roughness, and sealing pores. There are different types of primers available including oil-based, water-based, and solvent-based primers. The dispersion of the primer refers to the way it is mixed and distributed throughout the paint. Water-based primers are typically dispersed in water, while solvent-based primers are typically dispersed in solvents such as mineral spirits. The choice of primer and its dispersion is dependent on the surface material, top coat, and environmental factors.
