The Role of Gellner Industrial’s Acrylic Polymers in Wall Painting Primers for Commercial and Residential Applications
Primers have long played a crucial role in maintaining both the adhesion, appearance, and durability of various types of paint. They help extend the life of the coating, protect it from damage, and overall preserve the color of the paint. A good wall painting primer can cover imperfections on walls, block old or new stains, and create a cleaner, smoother substrate for the actual paint to be applied later on.
At Gellner Industrial, we’ve developed water-based acrylic polymers for use in a wide range of applications, including primers. Our polymers offer several excellent properties for use in household paints and primers, as well as in commercial coatings.
Superior Adhesion
Primers are applied in order to improve the adhesion of paint coatings to the substrate, so adhesion is a crucial factor for any primer. Gellner’s polymers all impart superior adhesion to their intended substrates, including wood, cement, and drywall substrates that are commonly found in just about every household in the country. We’ve tested our products multiple times, both in the lab and in real-world scenarios, to ensure that they’ll maintain the primer’s adhesion to the substrate and to subsequent paint layers.
Advanced Stain-Blocking
Stains from tannin oils, water damage, or bacterial growth aren’t just unsightly, they can be hazardous to the health of residents. Some of our products, like the Ottopol KO polymer can prevent water damage and tannin oils from wood surfaces from bleeding through. Ottopol KO can also block fungal growth and similar damage, all while maintaining that superior adhesion that Gellner’s products are known for.
Improved Durability
The walls of any house or commercial building can experience a lot more than most people realize. Damage from abrasion, general wear and tear, chemicals from cleaning supplies, on top of the potential for water damage or staining. At Gellner Industrial, we’ve developed several polymers that impart various types of resistance to primers–water and stain resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion, UV, and other conditions that might affect the durability and appearance of the coating.
