NIVELO Plaster Primer is a high-penetration, alkali-resistant primer formulated specifically for new and repaired plaster, brick, and masonry surfaces. Its advanced resin system deeply penetrates porous substrates, binding loose particles and creating a stable, uniform base that dramatically improves topcoat adhesion and coverage. Water-based and low-odour, it is safe for use in occupied spaces and dries quickly to allow same-day topcoat application.
