Product Description

Tikkurila Otex is a high-performance, single-pack solvent-based adhesion primer designed for challenging surfaces where conventional primers may fail. It offers excellent grip on smooth and non-porous substrates such as glass, tiles, melamine, PVC plastic, aluminium, zinc-coated metal, and surfaces previously coated with alkyd or acid-curing paints.

In addition to difficult substrates, Otex is also suitable for use on wood, fibreboard, chipboard, and metal in dry interior settings, as well as exterior window frames treated with polyurethane or catalytic coatings. Its strong bonding capabilities make it an ideal preparatory coat for both repainting and new work where reliable adhesion is critical.

Product Features


Otex is formulated to bond where typical primers struggle — it works on glass, tiles, PVC‑plastic, aluminium, zinc‑coated metal, fibreglass, previously painted surfaces (including alkyd or acid‑cured paints), and similar “hard” or slick surfaces.


It can be used on new or previously painted surfaces as a base coat before applying your final paint — useful for renovation, repainting or working with non‑standard substrates.


Once primed with Otex, you can apply a wide range of topcoats (water‑ or solvent‑based), depending on your substrate and final finish requirement.
