How are we different? Healthier Homes paints and zero VOC primers are not your standard low VOC latex. Our coatings use durable water-based acrylic formulas that contain zero hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and cure VOC free, making them healthy for people, pets and the planet. They were developed by the JS2 Partners Healthy Home Building team and are used in the field daily.
Rest easy knowing Healthier Homes primer products also block off-gassing of most HAPs from the painted surface -- a true healthy home game changer!
Also, for each gallon of paint or construction product you purchase, we will recycle 100 ocean-bound plastic bottles through our partnership with Ocean Co.
Use on: Previously painted walls, ceilings, wood and wood trim, fully cured plaster, stucco, wood cabinets and furnishings, plywood, MDF, particle board and masonry. Also, use on new unfinished cabinetry and wood furniture. Suitable for use indoors or outdoors.
Uniquely engineered to enable refinishing of previously finished surfaces, including oil-based paints and finishes.
Coverage: One gallon of Healthier Homes Multipurpose Primer covers approximately 350 square feet per coat.
Surface preparation: Surfaces should be sanded and free of dirt, grease, mildew and oil. Clean with pressurized air and/or odorless, dye-free, all-purpose diluted cleaner such as Healthier Clean All Purpose Cleaner prior to application. To achieve a consistent finish and promote adhesion, surfaces painted with oil-based finishes or glossy latex should be sanded. Wet sanding is recommended to degloss the surface before priming. Spot test first to ensure the surface is clean and sanded properly. Surface should be completely dry before primer application. In all cases, achieve the best finish with one primer coat and two finish coats.
Application: Apply one coat of primer, then allow 24 hours to dry before paint application.
Before using, stir well, then apply with a clean, high-quality nylon or synthetic bristle brush or roller (1/4”–3/8” nap recommended). This primer has a slight odor when wet that dissipates quickly under normal conditions with adequate ventilation. Do not apply on cold, humid days and/or if the surface, air or container temperature is below 55°F. Turning on the HVAC after application is recommended for proper curing.
Spraying specs: Use an airless sprayer and painter's masks to avoid accidental inhalation. A 311 spray tip works best. Reduce paint with up to 1/2 pint of clean water per gallon if needed. Remove the internal filters from the spray machine prior to application. For best coverage, spray 18" from surface.
Dry Time: For best results, wait at least 24 hours before coating with paint. Normal conditions include a dry surface, fresh air flow, moderate to low humidity, and temperatures above 55°F. Thick application, high humidity, or conditions other than normal may cause paint to dry slower and/or cure improperly. This no VOC primer works by curing VOC free for its product lifetime.
Cleanup: Clean equipment while still wet. For best results, use a solution of Healthier Clean and warm water.
No special disposal requirements: For disposal, leave the lids off so that unused product hardens. Dispose of it in your normal garbage.
