| Description | Air Purifying Drywall Primer (for new construction) is used to provide a strong bonding layer that gives drywall surfaces a smooth and clean finish before painting with an ECOS Paints topcoat. Designed to improve indoor air quality, this primer absorbs and neutralizes chemicals, pollutants and VOCs before they escape into the air. Suitable for interior uses. Not suitable for use with plaster. |
| Preparation | Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and loose or flaking material. Especially important is the removal of any dust created from sanding. Use a damp cloth/sponge to remove dust, a vacuum or dry cloth/sponge can be insufficient. Areas of joint compound, or mud, must be thoroughly cleaned as any remaining dust can cause flaking, or peeling. Soft, or crumbly, substrates must be pre-treated before priming. |
| Application and Clean Up | Under most conditions thinning is not necessary. Stir gently before and during use. Generally, only requires one coat. Normally dries to the touch in four hours. Allow twenty-four hours before sanding or painting. Can be applied using a high quality synthetic brush, rolled using a tightly woven, shed-resistant 3/8” to 1/2” roller cover, or sprayed using an airless sprayer with 0.015” to 0.017” tip at 1600 to 1800 psi. Avoid applying below 50°F (10°C). |
