Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer Vs Kilz (2024)

FAQs

What is Sherwin Williams Extreme bond primer used for? ›

Extreme Bond® Primer is a high quality, waterborne, urethane modified acrylic primer. Designed for coating hard, slick, glossy surfaces with minimal surface preparation. Because of the exceptional adhesion of this product, sanding may not be necessary for most clean, paintable surfaces.

Sherwin's ProBlock line (oil-based and waterborne) is probably more on par with the Kilz and Zinsser retail products.

Interior | Exterior Primer. KILZ® ADHESION Primer is a water-base, modified-acrylic primer specifically formulated to bond to a variety of 'tough-to-paint' surfaces.

Extreme Bond Primer offers exceptional adhesion for hard-to-stick surfaces like cabinets. Plus, when you pair this primer with the power of a clean surface, you might not even need to sand. Once you've taken care of primer, the best paint for cabinets is Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel.

For example primers that act as a sealer deal with water stains, smoke stains and odor, etc. (problems). Bonding primers act as an intermediary coat between the substrate and the top coat. They ensure a good bond of the top coat to substrate, (prevent problem).

Ideal for surfaces like kitchen cabinets, tile, glass panels and plastic piping, the next generation Extreme Bond Primer offers a greater degree of adhesion compared to standard primers.

Zinsser shellac seems to be the more heavy-duty option, as reviewers say it completely blocks troublesome odors in existing paints.

KILZ® 1 STANDARD Water-Based Primer is designed for use on multiple interior surfaces helping save cost by reducing the number of coats of paint needed to achieve optimal results. It seals porous surfaces, hides minor scuffs and marks and promotes a more uniform appearance of the topcoat.

KILZ 3® PREMIUM primer is a superior quality, fast drying, low odor, very low VOC, water-based primer-sealer-stainblocker. It has excellent adhesion and provides a mildew resistant coating making it ideal for use in moisture-prone areas.

(Note: Bonding primers are not recommended for use over peeling paint).

Is Kilz 2 a good bonding primer? ›

KILZ 2 ALL-PURPOSE Primer (Previously KILZ 2 Latex) is a fast-drying, water-based, multi-surface primer-sealer-stainblocker with excellent adhesion, mildew resistance, sealing properties and very mild odor.

Yes. The purpose of primer is to give a bonding agent to the paint for better adhesion. Primer also helps with color changes to minimize additional paint coats, and it helps with odors/smoke and mildew/mold.

Types of Primer

Premium Wall & Wood Primer offers premium quality primer for the smoothest finish. Multi-Purpose Latex Primer is general purpose whole-house primer for multiple surfaces. Drywall Primer seals new drywall and previously painted walls for a consistent finish.

KILZ 3^® PREMIUM Primer was also the best choice for my project because it provides coverage for medium-to-heavy stains, which will ensure that the current dark color of my island doesn't bleed through the paint. Apply a uniform coat of KILZ 3^® PREMIUM Primer to your cabinet frames and doors.

Bonding Primer provides a mechanical bond between a 'sealed' wall and the paint, which allows Silicate Masonry Paint to 'stick' to the pre painted surface. If you have areas of old paint on your walls which you can't remove, you can spot prime with Bonding Primer.

Question: Answer: Can Multi-Surface Bonding Primer (MBP) be used over painted surfaces? Yes, provided the paint is well bonded to the substrate.

Primers could conceivably be considered a bonder. We separate the two because 1) Both products promote adhesion differently 2) Primers and bonders are not interchangeable. Acrylics for example almost always require a primer, a bonder shouldn't be used as an alternative.
