Spillage and environmental:

Mobility: Store in an upright position and ensure the container is tightly closed.

Accidental release: Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding, then absorb it into dry earth or sand. Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for disposal by an appropriate method.

Avoid breathing vapours.

Clean residue with a detergent; avoid the use of solvents.

Primer and undercoat are essential components in the painting process, each designed to prepare surfaces in specific ways to ensure optimal results. A primer is typically the first layer applied directly to bare surfaces, such as wood, metal, or drywall. Its primary function is to promote adhesion between the surface and the subsequent layers of paint. This improved bond helps to prevent peeling, chipping, or blistering of the paint over time. Additionally, primers can enhance the paint's colour vibrancy and coverage, especially when applying lighter shades over darker surfaces.

In contrast, undercoats are typically applied to surfaces that have already been painted or primed. They serve to create a uniform, smooth base that helps in achieving an even topcoat finish. Undercoats can also help block stains or prevent previous colours from bleeding through, ensuring that the true colour of the topcoat remains consistent. By addressing imperfections and providing a refined surface, undercoats significantly enhance the overall appearance and durability of the final paint layer.

While both primers and undercoats play crucial roles in the painting process, they cater to different types of surfaces and conditions, making them indispensable for achieving a professional-quality finish.
