MDF Passivating Primer (White) | Interior

5/5.0
8 reviews (below)

To ensure an excellent finish when you decorate, you need a good quality primer. And this is especially true when using MDF, plywood, or similar materials. Our MDF primer paint is capable of absorbing the formaldehyde that MDF can produce down to 1ppm. Our MDF primer paint is breathable, quick-drying and prevents your finishing coat from ending up from soaking into the surface.

Not only does our primer paint absorb formaldehyde fumes using Air-Pure technology, it is also free from solvents and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) – the only MDF primer paint of its kind in the world. This means no more headaches or nausea from fumes, with no restrictions on where it can be used with a coverage of up to 60m2 per 5 litre/per coat.

*Use Promptly - decant what you need & don't put the brush, roller or remainder back in the can to avoid spoilage and use once open within 2 weeks.

VOCs ? How many brands of Zero VOC paint are there anyway ?

Answer, Only One = and its Lakeland Paints. So is that other brand of "Zero VOC" Paint not truly Zero VOC ? Probably not. Many are not what they claim to be. The Zero VOC Fib is that most other paints claiming to be Zero VOC & VOC-free aren't ! They say that for them, VOC Free means "not more than 0.1% VOC" - but its just Not true. The ASA says "VOC-free" means a total absence of VOCs in all products". (A17-396612). Lakeland Paint is Zero VOC – like the air in your home - and we are happy to send the certificates. Remember - If you want Truly Zero VOC certified paint, it Has to be Lakeland Paints.

    Expensive but it is excellent paint. A pleasure to use and significantly reduces symptoms where sensitivity to off gassing from mdf is an issue.

    Excellent coverage, wonderful paint - no odor, brushes on smoothly. We used it to prime the plywood interior walls of a new insulated garden studio that needed to be breathable. Went on well, did the job of priming/undercoating for a top coat of the Fen Shui wall paint. The studio looks lovely, smells fresh. Highly recommend both and everything else we used from Lakeland. I must also commend them for providing all the necessary data to reassure us the walls will remain breathable and their advice about how to proceed. Lovely people!

    Used to cover new MDF shelves, desk and wardrobe we had built in kids bedrooms which smelt awful! Easy to put on and good coverage. No smell at all now and I can also sleep easy knowing my kids aren’t breathing in toxic MDF fumes. Fantastic product.

    Felt happy that the paint actually absorbed formaldehyde. It went onto the mdf well, very smooth and good coverage. A friend recommended this paint, I would definitely recommend it to anyone else. Thank you.
