Eco Hybrid Primer – Graphenstone Ambient Primer L42 for Absorbent Surfaces

Hybrid Primer –  Natural base + acrylic copolymer
Interior & Exterior

Graphenstone’s L42 Ambient primer has been designed as a bridge between difficult to paint surfaces and their existing range of excellent paints – so they have compromised with this primer to fix specific use cases – and therefore the formulation does contain a hybrid acrylic binder to allow their main ‘clean’ products to stick to complicated surfaces, especially with lime paints over existing non lime surfaces.  This primer still has good eco creds, it’s just not as clean as the other products we stock. Generally this primer is not required for normal painting and surfaces. Please read the excellent Green Guide by Graphenstone which explains things far better than me!

L42 Ambient Primer is not as natural as the other products we stock. (It contains some acrylic & BIT)
We only stock this to complete the range of Graphenstone paints, and for customers that want to paint lime based Graphenstone paints over difficult surfaces. Most of the time you don’t need this primer if you want avoid all non natural paints.

If you are looking for a ‘true natural’ primer then the Auro range does offer an alternative. We would recommend the Auro Eggshell 517 as the wood and metal paint, and the Auro 501 Natural wood primer to match. If you are painting absorbent walls with Auro paint then we would recommend the Auro 301 plaster primers. 

Eco-friendly primer for very absorbent substrates. AmbientPrimer L42 regulates surfaces and reduces the absorption of the substrate prior to painting. Recommended for absorbent substrates and prior to AmbientPro+, as it guarantees the stability and durability of the photocatalytic system over time. Perfect for using with Graphenstone natural paint if needed.
