Tikkurila Optiva Primer – High Opacity Acrylic Primer for Walls & Ceilings

Description

Tikkurila Optiva Primer is a premium water-based acrylic primer developed for preparing interior walls and ceilings before painting. It is suitable for both new and previously painted surfaces, including plaster, drywall and masonry.

The primer works by reducing surface absorption and creating a uniform base, allowing finishing coats to apply more evenly and achieve better coverage. This helps reduce the number of topcoats required and improves the overall finish.

Optiva Primer is especially useful on fresh plaster and porous surfaces, where it seals the substrate while maintaining breathability. It also enhances adhesion, ensuring long-lasting results when used with paints from the Tikkurila Optiva range.
