Silic8 Penetrating Primer

Our Silic8 Penetrating Primer is a ready-to-use mineral liquid designed to soak in and control suction in many backgrounds whilst still remaining breathable. Penetrating Primer can be used to consolidate and stabilise problematic surfaces, backgrounds and provide additional bond strength before you apply the next coat. Unlike most primers, Silic8 Penetrating Primer does not contain plastics or resins; it is completely mineral based, so you won't' smell any odours or breathe in any VOC's.

Lime Green know breathability is vital, so Silic8 Penetrating Primer is independently tested for vapour diffusion to reassure you that water vapour will not be trapped in the fabric of your building.
