Coo-Var Tile & Melamine Primer
Coo-Var Tile & Melamine Primer is expertly formulated to prepare tile and melamine surfaces for painting. The white, matt finish ensures it seamlessly integrates with your choice of topcoat, whether water- or oil-based. Designed for use in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, it helps most types of paint adhere firmly, enabling durable, long-lasting results.
Application and Surfaces
This primer is suitable for various tiled surfaces, including those found in bathrooms and kitchens. Its strong adhesive properties make it an ideal base for subsequent coatings, particularly on non-porous surfaces like melamine. The product ensures that paints, whether water- or oil-based, adhere effectively, creating a solid foundation for further finishing.
- Ideal for tiled surfaces in high-humidity environments.
- Excellent adhesion on melamine, providing a secure base for topcoats.
- Easy to apply with a brush or roller for smooth, consistent coverage.
Restrictions and Limitations
Do not apply this primer in temperatures below 7°C, as this can affect the drying and adhesion processes. Additionally, avoid using this primer on surfaces where exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight is common, as this may compromise the performance of the final paint layers. Always ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as grease or oil for best results.
Additional Product Recommendations
For best results, we recommend pairing this primer with high-quality topcoats, such as Coo-Var’s range of water- or oil-based paints. Always ensure to check compatibility with the selected topcoat. For more detailed application instructions, always refer to the downloadable data sheet.

Hi, would this work on an acrylic roll top bath, I want to paint the outside of it. Thanks |

Yes assuming the outside of the bath is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this could be used as a primer. We would recommend to test for compatibility and adhesion on a small area prior to full application with the chosen topcoat. | |
