Sikkens Rubbol Primer – Solvent-based undercoat primer

Give your exterior and interior joinery the best possible base coat with this solvent-based Rubbol Primer. The ideal undercoat primer to finish afterwards with an exterior or interior topcoat.

Use this Rubbol Primer when you want to add colour to your exterior woodwork such as window frames or doors. Also suitable for indoor use on bare, new wood.

Description

Sikkens Rubbol Primer is a solvent-based paint primer. For this reason, it is particularly suitable for exterior applications. The primer is moisture-regulating and can be applied from temperatures as low as 5°C.

If you also wish to use this primer indoors on wood, that is certainly possible. Do bear in mind that solvent-based primers emit a strong odour which may linger indoors for several days. For this reason, we generally recommend this primer for outdoor use, although indoor application remains an option.

This Rubbol Primer from Sikkens offers numerous advantages such as excellent coverage, rain resistance, fast dust- and tack-free drying… But perhaps its greatest advantage is its wide application temperature range. The paint performs optimally between 5°C and 30°C — something very few primers can match.

Key Features

  • Excellent adhesion on wood and more
  • Easily sandable after drying
  • High covering power
  • Can be applied at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C
  • Does not require immediate overcoating; can be left for months
  • Moisture-regulating, allowing the substrate to breathe
  • Reduces the visibility of fine wood grain

How to use Sikkens Rubbol Primer

When painting exterior wood such as a front door for the first time, this solvent-based Rubbol Primer is an excellent choice. First, ensure thorough preparation of both the surroundings and the surface.

Cleaning: Make sure the wood is clean and free of dust. Ideally, clean the surface thoroughly using a degreaser diluted with water.

Sanding: Lightly sand the wooden surface with sandpaper, then remove all dust carefully.

Masking: Protect all areas that should not be painted. 3M Gold masking tape performs excellently both indoors and outdoors and is perfectly suited for use with Sikkens Rubbol Primer.

Priming: Apply 1 coat of Rubbol Primer for interior use and 2 coats for exterior use if you do not plan to overcoat within one week. Allow the primer to dry for 18 hours before applying another solvent-based layer, and 24 hours if choosing a water-based topcoat.

Which topcoats can be combined with Sikkens Rubbol Primer?

Sikkens Rubbol Primer can be overcoated with almost any paint system. For exterior applications, choose one of our Sikkens exterior topcoats.

If you used this solvent-based Sikkens primer indoors and now prefer an odourless finish, select one of our interior paints. A popular interior range is Rubbol BL.

Which colours are available in Rubbol Primer?

Now that you know what the primer is for and where it can be applied, you are probably already thinking about colours.

Opt for a standard white undercoat primer? Great choice! This version is more cost-effective than the coloured primer.

You heard that right — Sikkens Rubbol Primer can be tinted in colours. And not just one, two, or three options, but a selection from over 50,000 paint colours from RALNCSSikkens colour ranges, and more.
