"Nortex-soil": characteristics, composition, properties and reviews

The surface treated with the Nortex-Grunt primer has the following advantages:

becomes stronger due to filling the smallest pores;
there is a similarity with the material of the subsequent finishing, which improves the adhesion of the layers;
prevents the appearance of cracks in the finish coating;
not susceptible to microorganisms;
saving subsequent material by blocking its penetration.

Acrylic primer "Nortex-Grunt" has universal strengthening and penetrating properties. Suitable for processing at all stages of finishing, from rough walls to finishing coating. These are the following types of base: wood, brick, stone, gypsum, concrete, wallpaper for painting, plaster, putty.

The use of acrylic primer increases the service life of the finishing coating and saves finishing materials such as glue, paint, and decorative plaster.

Excluding the priming step will compromise the integrity of the layers, and the decorative coating may peel and fall off. The lack of deep antiseptic treatment threatens the appearance of mold, darkening and other changes in the surface.

The main advantage of the acrylic primer “Nortex-Grunt” is the ability to be used for exterior and interior work, due to its resistance to weathering and sunlight. The manufacturer guarantees wood protection for 30 years when using subsequent finishing varnish Nortex.

Specifications

“Nortex soil,” the characteristics of which you should know if you plan to use this material during repair work, is a white composition whose density varies from 1 to 1.02 g/cm3.

Some experts are also interested in the pH level, which in this case is 7-9 units. You may also be interested in conditional viscosity, which is determined by a viscometer at an air temperature of +20 °C. This parameter varies from 40 to 42 seconds. The “Nortex-primer” primer is consumed in a volume of 90 g/m2, this is true if it is applied in one layer to a wooden surface. This parameter will change if concrete or stone surfaces are used as a base; the consumption will be higher and will be equal to the limit of 120 g/m2.

If you use a plasterboard surface as a base, the consumption will decrease slightly and amount to 60 g/m2. Application of the primer should be carried out at temperatures ranging from +5 to +30 °C. Surface drying time may vary depending on ambient temperature. If this parameter is +20 °C, then the drying time can be 30-60 minutes.

If you are a novice craftsman and do not have sufficient experience in the construction industry, you can often encounter many myths that lie in wait for beginners at every corner and often force them to stop at a crossroads on already difficult construction roads. One of these myths may be the lack of need to use a primer when carrying out finishing work. To make sure of its inconsistency, you can ask advice from experienced craftsmen who are familiar with construction and finishing work first-hand, and if there are none in your circle, turn to numerous construction forums, filled with advice from experienced and not so experienced craftsmen. But, oddly enough, in most cases their opinions agree on this issue, and they unanimously urge not to neglect the primer. If this information seems unconvincing to you, read the materials in this article, where we will try to provide comprehensive arguments that will be sufficient to debunk this myth. So, read more about the need for a primer and a prominent representative of the paint and varnish market - Nortex primer.

The need for a primer: for and...again for!

Application of a primer is an obligatory component of finishing work, which involves surface treatment in order to increase the affinity of subsequently applied compounds with it. The primer contains fillers, accelerators and pigments. The primer must be used in the process of finishing porous materials characterized by high absorbency. Primers are characterized by being economical, not blocking the pores of the material being processed, and preventing deep penetration of the decorative layer into the structure of the material being processed. Acrylic primer is a one-component varnish system intended for rough surface treatment and characterized by the ability to increase the adhesive properties of the treated base. Despite the fact that the market for paints and varnishes has expanded significantly, the most popular is acrylic primer, which has versatility and the ability to increase the adhesive characteristics of the surface.

Types of acrylic primer: what to look for?

Strengthening acrylic primer intended for surface gluing of particles located on the surface of the treated base;
Penetrating acrylic primer, which has a deeper effect and penetrates into the deep layers of the treated base, due to which it is intended to strengthen the base;
Experts distinguish another type of primer and call them special-purpose primers. They prevent corrosion and are designed to treat surfaces coated with old paint.

It is impossible not to consider another classification of primer compositions, according to which they are divided into:

Water-soluble or so-called water-dispersion primers, intended primarily for interior work and not used for treating facades due to their instability to adverse factors;
Solvent-soluble primers, more resistant to atmospheric factors and intended for facade work.

Acrylic primers are one-component mixtures used for roughing. Although there are various types of primer compositions sold in stores today, acrylic primer is the most popular nowadays because it is universal and significantly improves adhesive properties.

Additional Information

The "Nortex" primer is used to treat fragile and hygroscopic structures, this provides savings and uniform distribution of subsequent coatings applied to the surface. If you need to prime a smooth surface, then “Nortex” can be diluted with water approximately 1:1.

Take some precautions when working. If a certain amount of primer accidentally gets inside, the stomach is washed with water, then with a 2% solution of baking soda with activated carbon. Contact with skin is not recommended, otherwise wash with soap and water. Remove spilled primer with an adsorbent.

Working with Nortex-Grunt

Apply primer using a spray gun or brush. The recommended minimum ambient temperature is plus 5 degrees. If the surface to be treated is very uneven, full of cracks and seams, putty work must first be done, after which two layers of primer are applied. To dry the next layer, an interval of 30 minutes is maintained.

Further processing of the primed surface is carried out no earlier than an hour later, so that the primer dries well. And in cases of low temperature (less than 15 degrees) and high humidity (more than 80 percent), the drying period should be increased to a day. Doors and windows are covered with film so that the primer does not get on them and leave stains.

The primer is tinted using color pastes used with water-dispersion paints. Primer consumption when applying one layer:

for wood flooring – 90 g/m²;

Various acrylic primers - how to choose the most suitable one

There are several types of acrylic mixtures on sale today:

strengthening primer is designed to glue particles located on the surface of the treated base;
deep penetration primer has the property of being deeply absorbed into the surface of walls and other foundations, its purpose is to effectively strengthen the foundations;
special-purpose primers are used to prevent the occurrence of corrosion; they are used during the treatment of bases on which old dyes have been applied.

According to classification, primer compositions can be divided into two categories:

water soluble. In another way they are called water-dispersive soils. Their application is mainly for the treatment of interior spaces; they are not used for application to building facades, since their characteristics do not include sufficient resistance to adverse weather conditions;
Organosoluble mixtures have sufficient resistance to adverse factors; they are intended for external finishing work.
