Zinsser Allcoat
Zinsser Allcoat is a range of high-quality multi-surface paints. The collection includes multi-surface paint, exterior and interior gloss and satin finishes, and is available in both water and solvent-based. Each paint in the Allcoat range is waterproof.
We’re often asked if you need an undercoat with Allcoat, and in most cases, the answer is no. The first coat serves as a sealer and primer in one, and the second coat acts as the top coat.
Zinsser Allcoat paints are microporous. This means they keep water out but allow for any moisture that has found its way into the surface to escape as a vapour.
Zinsser Allclean
Zinsser Allclean is a scrubbable interior matt paint that provides a stain-repellent finish, perfect for high-traffic homes. You can buy Zinsser Allclean in white and a wide range of colours through our tintable product line.
Zinsser Primers
Solvent-Based Primers
Zinsser products are problem-solving, solvent-based primers synonymous with quality. Zinsser primers are very fast-acting, with Bulls Eye 1-2-3 offering a quick recoat time of around an hour. In spaces where you’re pushed for time and need an all-in-one primer that gets to work in no time at all, Zinsser will get the job done.
-
If you’re looking for a quick and reliable all-around primer, we recommend Zinsser B-I-N® primer.
-
If you have a more specific use case, such as covering stubborn stains, we recommend Zinsser Cover Stain.
-
For hard-to-stick surfaces such as glossy or exterior metal materials, the Bullseye 1-2-3 primer is best suited.
Water-Based Primers
Zinsser’s water-based primers deliver exceptional performance whilst being kinder to the planet. Zinsser BIN Aqua is a 4-in-1 primer that, in addition to priming, also seals, blocks stains and locks odours.
BIN Aqua is a low odour, minimal VOC, fast drying and eco-friendly water-based formula suitable for use on multiple surfaces.
Zinsser Cover Stain
Zinsser Cover Stain is the only interior and exterior primer, sealer, stain killer and bond coat that dries to recoat in only two hours.
You might wonder how many coats of Zinsser Cover Stain you’ll need, and you’ll be pleased to know that one coat is usually enough, or two for porous surfaces.
We’re often asked how to use Cover Stain, and it really couldn’t be easier. Simply apply to a clean, dry surface with a synthetic brush, roller or spray in a well-ventilated area.
