Asian Paints Berger, AR Primer

AR Primer can be applied on wood, metal, concrete, and masonry surfaces. It is suitable for interior and exterior applications, making it a versatile base coat for a variety of substrates.

The acrylic resin–based formulation creates a strong bond with the substrate, reduces suction, and provides a protective barrier against water and moisture. It also contains fillers to address minor surface cracks, helping the subsequent topcoat adhere better and last longer.

Yes. AR Primer is formulated for use on interior and exterior surfaces, providing adhesion and moisture protection across a range of environments.

Prep: Clean and dry the surface; repair and sand any rough areas. Application: Stir well and apply with a brush, roller, or spray in a thin, even coat. If the surface is very porous, a second coat may be beneficial. Drying: Let the primer dry to the touch before top coating; drying times vary with temperature and humidity, so follow the can’s guidance and recoat after the recommended interval on the label.

AR Primer provides a smooth, opaque base that enhances the appearance of the topcoat and improves its performance. Coverage depends on surface porosity and conditions; on porous surfaces, you may use more than one coat to achieve a uniform base.

Work in a well-ventilated area. Protect skin and eyes by wearing gloves and goggles. Avoid inhaling fumes; if present, use a mask suitable for painting. Keep away from flames and heat sources, and store the product in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure containers are upright and not damaged to prevent leaks or contamination.

AR Primer can be used over properly prepared existing paint surfaces that are sound and well-adhered. If the old paint is peeling or flaky, remove loose material, clean the surface, lightly sand to create a key, and then apply the primer. For oil-based paints, a compatible bonding primer may be recommended before applying AR Primer.

If you’re comparing options on Fepy, you can review the following primers for side-by-side suitability: Berger Exterior Primer (for outdoor surfaces) at https://fepy.com/product/berger-exterior-primer and Berger Interior Primer (for indoor surfaces) at https://fepy.com/product/berger-interior-primer. These are commonly listed primers in the Berger line on many Indian market retailers and are available on Fepy.

Use AR Primer as the base coat for walls and surfaces that are wood, metal, concrete, or masonry, both indoors and outdoors. It’s ideal when you have minor cracks to fill, when you need improved adhesion for the topcoat, or when moisture protection is a priority (for bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, or damp basements). It prepares imperfect surfaces for a durable, uniform finish.
