One、Does seashell powder need to be primed?
No.
once the putty powder has been applied, if the wall surface is smooth, clean, and free from bubbles, mold, or powder detachment, it can be directly coated with seashell powder paint. This is different from previous methods, which required multiple coats of primer and paint. The seashell powder product eliminates the need for these additional coats, allowing the paint to be applied directly to the prepared putty surface.
Two. important considerations when applying seashell powder.
1、The seashell powder is in powder form and requires mixing with water on-site. To ensure uniform water absorption of the substrate, it is recommended to pre-coat the substrate with the specified sealant before application to prevent color variations.
2、IfsubstrateNot sufficiently strong，May cause flaking，Therefore（Wall）substrateRequires leveling，Ensure complete drying.。
3. Special wall surface substrates and pre-treatment: Please consult with the manufacturer and relevant professionals.
4. Unlike shell powder coatings, which require high-level workmanship and specialized training, shell powder coatings, latex paints, or wallpapers differ significantly in their application requirements. only skilled professionals with practical painting experience can achieve a visually appealing and customized shell powder coating finish. Therefore, when choosing to use shell powder coatings, it is recommended to select products from reputable brands with professional construction teams.
5. Shell powder is not suitable for application in bathrooms and kitchens. Shell powder coatings have good breathability and moisture-regulating properties, allowing them to absorb excess moisture from the indoor air into their micropores when the air is humid, and release the stored moisture when the air is dry, maintaining a comfortable humidity level indoors. However, shell powder coatings are not suitable for application in bathrooms and kitchens, which are prone to high humidity and oil fumes. In these areas, ceramic tiles or other materials are more appropriate.
