Product Overview
Zinsser SmartPrime is a water‐based modified acrylic primer/sealer, stain killer and bond coat. This product provides the characteristics of an oil‐based product in an allpurpose water‐based interior/exterior primer. SmartPrime was developed for professional and commercial applications, combining stain blocking power, fast‐dry convenience, excellent flow and leveling, and excellent adhesion to glossy surfaces. It is suitable for use on residential, institutional or commercial use in schools, hospitals, hotels, nursing homes, restaurants, etc. Apply to interior and exterior walls, ceilings, doors, trim, fascia, soffits, foundations, railings, and related paintable surfaces. SmartPrime adheres to wood, plaster, concrete, gloss enamels, hardboard, glass and tile. For interior surfaces, apply to new and previously painted drywall, plaster, wood (pine, fir, cedar, redwood, plywood), metal (aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized metal), vinyl, PVC, fiberglass and masonry (stucco, concrete block, concrete, brick). For exterior surfaces, apply to new or previously painted wood (pine, fir, cedar, redwood, T‐111, plywood, pressure‐treated wood), hardboard, glass, metal (aluminum, stainless steel galvanized metal), PVC, rigid plastics, aluminum and vinyl siding, fiberglass and masonry (stucco, concrete block, concrete, brick). SmartPrime penetrates to seal porous surfaces to provide a smooth and even finish so topcoat paints have better coverage and more consistent sheen. Smart Prime blocks stains from water, smoke, cedar or redwood bleed, grease, handprints, asphalt, crayon, graffiti and rust stains.
