AQUAFI Universal WB Primer is a fast-drying, easy-to-sand waterborne primer made with a unique acrylic polymer, so it builds a smooth basecoat that supports efficient finishing. The primer is designed as an ideal smooth basecoat to achieve adhesion under various ML Campbell solvent-borne and water borne topcoats, which helps one product serve different finishing systems in the shop. Its waterborne formula provides a workable open time with reduced solvent content while still delivering professional performance. The unique acrylic polymer structure allows the primer to form a consistent film, which helps level out surface irregularities before topcoating. As a universal waterborne primer, it creates a practical foundation when switching between compatible ML Campbell topcoat technologies on the same project or across jobs.
This waterborne primer is formulated to sand easily, so once it dries to sand, surface preparation before topcoating focuses on quickly smoothing raised grain and minor imperfections. The fast dry-to-sand property means the coating is ready for sanding in a shorter window, keeping jobs from sitting idle between coats. High solids and quick build support a process where fewer primer coats are needed to reach a smooth base layer, which can reduce the number of application and sanding cycles. Because the acrylic polymer system is designed to create an ideal smooth basecoat, finishers can focus their sanding on achieving an even feel rather than fighting soft or gummy primer layers.
AQUAFI Universal WB Primer is described as a universal WB primer that creates a smooth basecoat to achieve adhesion under various ML Campbell solvent-borne and water borne topcoats, so it fits into finishing systems that use compatible ML Campbell topcoat products. The primer functions as the base layer in a multi-coat system, giving solvent-borne topcoats an appropriate surface to bite into while also providing a receptive surface for water borne topcoats. Its tannin blocking property means it is formulated to resist tannin bleed-through, which is important when coating tannin-rich woods where discoloration can telegraph through lighter finishes. Fast drying behavior integrates well with shop schedules that rely on multiple stages in a single day, since each primed part can cycle through spraying, drying to sand, and sanding in tighter time frames.
The unique acrylic polymer in this waterborne primer helps form an even, smooth film, so sanding produces a flat base that supports uniform topcoat appearance. High solids and quick build allow the film to reach effective hiding and thickness with fewer coats, which supports consistent coverage across runs without excessive material layers. Good wet-out and hang help the product lay down smoothly and stay in place on edges and vertical faces, which reduces sagging and contributes to an even surface before color or clear topcoats. Great hide means fewer chances for substrate color or pattern to influence final color, which is important when matching finishes across cabinets or components. The combination of fast dry-to-sand and easy sanding helps reduce time spent between coats while still giving the finisher control over final smoothness. Low VOC and GREENGUARD certification indicate the primer is engineered with reduced emissions, which is relevant for projects that highlight indoor air quality or sustainability in their specifications.
AQUAFI Universal WB Primer is a fast-drying, easy-to-sand waterborne primer made with a unique acrylic polymer, so it functions as a smooth basecoat in finishing systems using compatible ML Campbell topcoats.
The primer is designed to create an ideal smooth basecoat to achieve adhesion under various ML Campbell solvent-borne and water borne topcoats, helping those finishes bond to a consistent, prepared surface.
AQUAFI Universal WB Primer has high solids and quick build, so it reaches hiding and film thickness targets in fewer coats, helping finishing workflows reduce application and sanding cycles.
The primer is described as fast-drying and easy-to-sand, so pieces move from spraying to sanding more quickly, and sanding effort is reduced, supporting higher daily throughput.
This primer offers tannin blocking, so it is formulated to resist tannin bleed-through, which helps maintain color uniformity on tannin-rich substrates under light or semi-opaque topcoats.
The primer is Low VOC and GREENGUARD certified, so it is engineered to reduce volatile organic compound emissions, supporting projects that emphasize indoor air quality and environmental criteria.
AQUAFI Universal WB Primer in the 000W41259-16 gallon format from ML Campbell offers a fast-drying, easy-to-sand waterborne basecoat with high solids and quick build, supporting efficient priming steps. Its ability to achieve adhesion under various ML Campbell solvent-borne and water borne topcoats allows one universal primer to support different finishing systems. With features such as good wet-out and hang, great hide, tannin blocking, and Low VOC GREENGUARD certification, this primer aligns with workflow, appearance, and emission goals across a range of professional finishing projects.
