Kingfisher Weatherflex Stabilising Solution

Primer & Sealer for Porous or Weathered Masonry

Kingfisher Weatherflex Stabilising Solution is a solvent-free, fine-particle, pure acrylic ester copolymer primer, sealer, and stabiliser for masonry surfaces. It is specifically formulated to harden friable or chalking substrates, ensuring a stable base for subsequent coatings. This solution enhances adhesion, improves the depth of colour finish, and often reduces the amount of paint required. 

Key Features & Benefits

• Stabilises & Hardens: Effectively binds and primes chalking or dusty surfaces, preparing them for painting.
• Improves Adhesion: Enhances the bond between the substrate and masonry paint, promoting a longer-lasting finish.
• Reduces Paint Consumption: By sealing porous surfaces, it often decreases the amount of paint needed.
• Quick Drying: Dries within 4–8 hours under normal conditions, allowing for timely application of topcoats.
• Easy Application: Ready to use with brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer.
• Solvent-Free: Eco-friendly formulation with low VOC content.

Ideal For

• Stabilising friable or "soft" masonry due to weathering.
• Priming chalking surfaces prone to dusting.
• Preparing newly cement-rendered surfaces for painting.
• Reducing absorbency of porous exterior surfaces like brick, stone, and concrete.
