Micronised Acrylic Primer for Absorbent & Uneven Substrates Prior to Decorative Finishes
Mapei Malech is a ready-to-use, water-based, micronised acrylic primer designed to regulate absorbency and promote adhesion on cementitious and lime-based surfaces before applying decorative finishes such as paints or textured coatings. It penetrates deeply into porous substrates, consolidating the surface and ensuring uniform colour tone across subsequent coatings. Ideal for use with Mapei Silancolor, Silexcolor, or Elastocolor systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Deep Penetration: Consolidates and stabilises dusty or porous substrates for improved coating adhesion.
- Regulates Absorption: Ensures even drying and colour tone when applying finishing products.
- Alkali Resistant: Suitable for lime- and cement-based plasters and renders.
- VOC Compliant & Water-Based: Low-odour and environmentally friendly for use in enclosed spaces.
- Highly Compatible: Designed to work with Mapei's full range of decorative and protective coatings.
