Non-toxic, all-purpose primer for interior and exterior use
Cold Weather Alert:
This product may not perform properly if applied below the required temperature. Please check installation instructions on our website.
Because this is a water-based product, it may freeze during shipping. For that reason we will not ship over a weekend if temperatures dip below 32 degrees F. If you want us to ship anyway, it will be at your own risk. Please call to arrange with a GBS eco-advisor. 800-405-0222
AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer is a premium quality, water-based primer specifically formulated to solve difficult application problems without the use of toxic chemicals. Because it has an extremely tight and efficient polymer network, it can be used as a sealer on toxic surfaces. It can also act as a transitional layer between existing oil-based paint and water-based coatings. Use indoors or outdoors. NOTE: must dry 24 hours before applying top coat.
Unlike traditional primers that off-gas for days or months, AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer is odor-free when dried. It works well as a stain blocker on knot holes, water soluble stains and oils, and on tannins and terpenes in wood which can “bleed through” to the surface.
This primer is for use on previously painted walls, ceilings, wood and wood trim, fully cured plaster (below 10 pH), stucco and masonry. For new sheetrock, use AFM's New Wallboard Primecoat HPV.

This is an excellent primer for indoor or outdoor applications. Unlike most other primers it has the unique ability to seal and encapsulate toxic VOC emissions underneath it. It will also help to control odors such as smoke, pet urine or other organic odors but does not block them as well as VOCs.
Transitional primer works best when combined with AFM Zero VOC paint. Using a different paint on top (even if zero VOC) will not have the same blocking effect.
