What it is
WOCA Exterior Wood Primer is a water-based, penetrating primer developed as a base coat for untreated softwoods. It improves the performance of the subsequent oil finish, extends recoat intervals, and offers added biological protection against fungal growth on exposed timber.
Used in combination with WOCA Exterior Wood Oil, it provides a complete coating system for softwood cladding, decking and exterior detail on species that benefit from priming.
