HPS20

HPS20 White water-based primer

General-purpose white one-pack water-based furniture primer. Wets out and flows well, builds good hardness with minimal shrink-back. Dries fast and sands well. No organic solvents — it dries purely by water evaporation.

  • furniture fronts and panels
  • doors
  • MDF and HDF furniture parts
  • veneer and solid wood of various species
  • white base under the HPL20 SM water-based enamel

    Clean water only (demineralised is best), never S50/S80 or other solvents. No hardener: this is a one-pack product.

Don'ts
  • don't thin with solvents — water only, max 10 %
  • don't apply below 15 °C or at 70 % RH and above
  • don't store or ship below +5 °C
  • don't sand before 4 h, or it clogs the paper
  • don't lay it on heavy on verticals: it isn't thixotropic
