Overview

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin is a water-based finish ideal for use on exterior surfaces including wood, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete and cladding. Formulated to be mould resistant, it offers superior protection against weathering and will resist cracking, flaking & blistering. Thanks to its self-priming formula, the first coat primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the topcoat. The topcoat completes the sealing process while providing additional moisture resistance and protection. Also available in Matt or Gloss finish

Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, sound, and free from any dust or possible contaminates that may interfere with adhesion.
