20 products

At Brikum, we understand the importance of having the best products for surface preparation before any painting, sealing, or repair project. That's why we offer a wide range of high-quality solvents and primers, designed to ensure a flawless and long-lasting finish.

What are solvents?

Solvents are essential chemical products for cleaning and preparing surfaces. They work by dissolving paints, varnishes, or greases, ensuring that surfaces are completely free of impurities before applying any coating. In our store, you'll find specific solvents for every type of material, from wood to metal, making the work of professionals and amateurs easier.

The importance of primers

Priming is the fundamental step to ensure the paint or sealant adheres properly to the surface. This product not only improves adhesion but also protects the surface from moisture and other environmental factors that can cause long-term deterioration. We have primers tailored to different types of surfaces, such as metal, plastic, or plaster, offering maximum durability.

Primer paint

Primer paint is essential to ensuring a durable and uniform final finish on any surface. Applying primer before the final coat helps improve paint adhesion, seal pores in the material, and prevent problems such as peeling.

There are different types of primers depending on the material being treated, whether it's wood, metal, or plaster. Using the right primer is key to protecting the surface and ensuring the final paint stays in good condition for longer. Additionally, a good primer acts as a barrier against moisture and mold, prolonging the life of the project.

Paint additives

Paint additives are substances added to paint formulas to improve certain properties or facilitate application. They can modify aspects such as viscosity, drying time, moisture resistance, durability, or adhesion. Some common examples of paint additives include anti-mold agents, drying retardants, color stabilizers, and UV protectants. These paint additives are especially useful for customizing paint performance based on environmental conditions or specific project requirements.

How to choose the right solvent and primer?

Selecting the correct solvent and primer depends on the material you're working with. If you're working with metal surfaces, we recommend more powerful solvents that remove all traces of rust. For wood, we suggest specific primers that nourish and protect the surface before applying any paint or varnish.

At Brikum, we offer the best solutions to efficiently prepare your surfaces, ensuring professional and long-lasting results.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Primers, solvents and additives

What type of solvent do I need for my paint?

It depends on the type of paint you use. For water-based paints, a specific solvent or clean water is recommended, while synthetic paints require universal or chemical-based solvents.

When should I apply the paint primer?

Primer is applied before the final coat of paint, on clean, dry surfaces. It is essential for improving adhesion and protecting the surface against moisture and rust.

What are paint additives used for?

Paint additives are used to modify or improve certain product properties, such as mold resistance, drying speed, or ease of application. They also help achieve a smoother, more uniform finish.

Can I use the same solvent for different paints?

Not always. Each type of paint may require a specific solvent. Check the product's technical data sheet to choose the most suitable option and avoid unwanted reactions.

Is priming necessary on all surfaces?

Not always, but it's especially recommended for porous, oxidized, or poorly adhering materials. Using a paint primer guarantees a more professional and longer-lasting result.
