Kingfisher Asbestos Sealer & Primer - 5L / 25L

Clear, Solvent-Free Sealer for Asbestos Cement Surfaces

Kingfisher Asbestos Sealer & Primer is a water-based, fine-particle acrylic dispersion designed to penetrate and stabilise asbestos cement (AC) roof sheets and tiles. It binds surface fibres, reduces dusting, and enhances adhesion for subsequent coatings. Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, this primer ensures a clean, sealed surface ready for long-term protection.

Specifically formulated as a base layer for Kingfisher Asbestos Roof Coating and Kolourseal Roof Renovation systems, this sealer maximises topcoat coverage and longevity—delivering professional results every time.
