Question 1

What is Asian Paints Berger SmartCare Bitushield Primer SB, and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

It’s a one-coat primer designed to protect surfaces from weathering, corrosion, dampness, and moisture. The formulation is high-build, fast-drying, and low-odor, delivering superior adhesion and creating a solid base for top coats. It’s suitable for metal, concrete, masonry, stucco, and wood, and is compatible with a variety of top coats for a long-lasting finish.

Question 2

Which surfaces can I apply this primer to?

Accepted Answer

You can use it on metal, concrete, masonry, stucco, and wood. It’s suitable for surfaces exposed to weather and moisture and can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects depending on the substrate.

Question 3

What are its key features and benefits?

Accepted Answer

Key features include fast drying with high adhesion, a low-odor formula, and a low-viscosity solvent that penetrates deeply. It helps prevent dampness and water seepage, is easy to apply, and offers longer life. It’s designed for strong surface bonding and durable protection.

Question 4

How should I apply it and what surface preparation is needed?

Accepted Answer

Prepare the surface by cleaning and ensuring it’s dry, removing loose paint or flaky material, and allowing the substrate to dry. Stir the primer well, then apply evenly with a brush, roller, or spray. Often a single coat suffices, but you can apply additional coats if the surface is very porous or uneven. Always follow the label guidance for recoat intervals.

Question 5

Do I need more than one coat?

Accepted Answer

The product is marketed as a one-coat primer, but on very porous substrates or when aiming for uniform opacity, a second coat may be applied after the first has dried.

Question 6

What top coats are compatible with SmartCare Bitushield Primer SB?

Accepted Answer

A wide range of top coats is compatible. Check the product label for your specific top-coat option or consult Fepy support to confirm the best match for your project.

Question 7

How does the primer protect against moisture and weather?

Accepted Answer

It’s formulated with advanced acrylic resins that offer moisture resistance and UV protection, helping to block dampness and water seepage and providing a long-lasting protective base for subsequent coatings.

Question 8

Safety, handling, and storage guidelines?

Accepted Answer

The product features a low-odor formulation and is relatively easy to handle. Use standard PPE such as gloves and eye protection during application. Store in a cool, dry place in the original container with the lid tightly closed. Keep away from children and heat, and dispose of contents per local regulations.

Question 9

How does this primer compare to other primers available on Fepy?

Ideal for exterior and interior projects where you need weatherproofing, moisture resistance, and durable adhesion. Good for metal and masonry surfaces on new builds or renovations, concrete walls, wood framing, stucco, and other surfaces prone to dampness or moisture exposure.

Question 11

What is the expected coverage and drying time?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on surface porosity and texture, and drying times vary with environmental conditions. The primer is designed for fast drying and high build, so apply a single coat or follow the label for recoat intervals. Always test a small area to confirm performance before full-scale application.

Question 12

How can I ensure the best results when using this primer?

Accepted Answer

Ensure thorough surface prep (clean, dry, and sound substrate), apply the primer evenly, avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity, consider a patch test on a small area first, and apply top coat within the recommended window after priming for optimal adhesion and finish.
