Primer Contac
Origen Paints Primer Contac is a primer formulated with organic Vinyl Acetate Ethylene (VAE) and CaCO₃™ Technology (Graphene Technology), designed to act as a bonding bridge on smooth or low-porosity surfaces.
It provides effective mechanical anchoring for skim-coat mortars, adhesives, and subsequent coatings, improving adhesion and enhancing the durability of the applied system.
BIO-BASED ADHESION BRIDGE FOR MORTARS
An adhesion bridge that gives plaster mortars and adhesives a strong mechanical key on smooth or non-porous surfaces. Bio-based (VAE), with excellent flexibility (non-cracking); applied straight from the pail in a single coat by brush or roller.
