Primers, Impregnations, and Plasticizers

Primers, impregnations, and plasticizers are auxiliary building materials that enhance the quality and durability of various coatings and structures. They are used both during the substrate preparation phase and during material mixing or processing.

Primers are special compounds used to treat surfaces before applying paint, putty, plaster, or adhesive. They ensure better adhesion of materials, reduce substrate absorption, and prevent stain formation. Primers also strengthen the substrate, making the coating more uniform and durable.

Impregnations are liquid agents for deep penetration into materials. They are applied to wood, concrete, brick, or stone to protect against moisture, fungus, mold, corrosion, and deterioration. Impregnations preserve the material's structure, extend its service life, and can impart additional properties, such as fire resistance or antistatic effect.

Plasticizers are additives introduced into solutions or mixtures (concrete, cement, adhesive) to improve their characteristics. They enhance the material's elasticity, workability, frost resistance, and strength. Thanks to plasticizers, solutions are easier to apply, better fill voids, and retain their properties longer.

Factors for Selection

Interested in "primer price" or "plasticizer price"? Here's what to consider.

• Purpose. For surface preparation, it's best to use a primer; for protecting material from moisture or deterioration – an impregnation; for improving solution characteristics – a plasticizer.
• Material. Consider what you are working with: wood, concrete, brick, stone, or plaster. Each material has its own requirements and corresponding compounds.
• Volume. For small household jobs, small containers are suitable, while for large-scale construction or renovation projects, it is advisable to choose larger packaging, which will be more economical.
