Birch Primer is an exterior-grade birch panel overlaid with a paper-based film impregnated with amino resin, designed for efficient painting and lacquering. The coating allows paint to be applied directly, without pre-treatment, saving up to 50% in labor and materials, while ensuring smooth coverage, lower paint consumption, and resistance to cracking.

Ideal for colorful, design-forward applications, the surface makes on-site finishing fast and easy. Even if the top paint layer is damaged, the panel remains protected by a durable, long-lasting film, and the surface resists delamination or cracking during further processing.

Suitable for both interior and exterior use with appropriate paints, Birch Primer is perfect for bright, individual projects such as furniture, kitchen cabinets, and playground equipment.
