Coo-Var Dampshield Primer creates an instant damp proof membrane on new or damaged concrete, letting you coat or cover floors weeks sooner and dodge the cost of a full DPM. Finish jobs faster, protect top coat adhesion and keep production rolling, so cash stays in your pocket, not in downtime. Backed by over 100 years of British paint innovation, it’s arguably the best moisture barrier primer money can buy. Its 100 % solids, solvent free formula lays a tough, low odour gloss film that cheaper water seals simply can’t match.

Key Benefits

• Replace Missing DPM – Seals residual moisture, saving thousands on ripping out slabs and pouring new concrete.
• Paint Floors Earlier – Residual moisture tolerance allows you to paint your concrete far quicker than rival primers, so resins, carpet, vinyl or timber can go down while the competition is still waiting. Get your warehouses, garages and showrooms earning sooner.
• Lock Tight Adhesion – Epoxy bond grabs subsequent paints and screeds, extending finish life and cutting costly repaints.
• Extra Floor Armour – High build primer layer adds chemical and wear resistance, stretching the lifespan of every square metre.
• Clean Air Application – Solvent free, low odour mix keeps staff comfortable and eliminates taint risks in food or retail areas.
