Description & Uses
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.
FOR BEST RESULTS
Allow to dry for two hours before applying next coat.
