About Teknos Futura Aqua Waterborne Adhesion Primer

A waterborne alkyd-based adhesion primer for indoor wood and galvanised metal surfaces and outdoor wood surfaces. Promotes the adhesion and durability of the finishing coat.

Suitable for priming surfaces indoors and outdoors, such as furniture, chipboard, fibre board and gypsum board. Also indoors-  ideal for use on metal surfaces, light metal and galvanized surfaces as well as glass, ceramic tiles, PVC plastic and acid-curing paints indoors. 

This adhesion primer can be used for wooden and building board surfaces as well as for non-rusting metal surfaces: doors, window casements, cabinets, mouldings, panels, panel ceilings, air ducts, radiators and piping systems.

Indoors Futura Aqua 3 is also suitable for priming plaster and filler surfaces when the substrate must be especially durable and smooth: window sills and casings, and wall surfaces and staircases.

Outdoors Futura Aqua 3 is suitable for priming wooden window casements, doors, balcony rails, garden furniture etc.

Surface Preparation

Clean the unpainted surfaces from dust and dirt. Wash previously painted surfaces with RENSA SUPER paint cleaner.

Matt down hard or gloss surfaces by sanding and thereafter remove the dust.

Smooth any irregularities in the surface with carpentry filler.

Application

Futura Aqua 3 is suitable as an adhesion primer for wooden surfaces indoors and outdoors as well as for zinc coated, galvanized and previously painted metal surfaces indoors. Before use stir the paint thoroughly. The paint is thinned with water 5 - 15 % by volume when needed.

Apply the paint once or twice with a varnish brush, mohair roller, painting pad or spray. When painting a smooth surface, e.g. flush door, the marks left by a roller may be smoothed down with painting pad or with varnish brush.

Airless spray nozzle 0.011 - 0.013".

Application Conditions

The surface to be painted must be dry. During the application and drying period the temperature of the ambient air, the surface and the paint shall be above +10 °C and the relative air humidity below 80 %.

Drying is faster in low air humidity and/or above + 21 °C.  

Application will be easier if air is humidified and/or temperature is lowered in the working space.

Ventilation after the painting will quicken the drying.
