OVERVIEW & HOW TO USE
What to know about this product
Check the product’s purpose, suitability and application information before getting started.
The foundation for a longer-lasting timber finish.
Haymes UVEX Primer is a professional-grade, water-based primer designed to prepare new or freshly stripped timber for coating. It penetrates deep into the surface, improving topcoat adhesion and extending durability — especially in harsh Aussie sun and weather.
Ideal under film-forming products like Dexpress, UVEX helps prevent peeling, flaking, and fading by anchoring your finish to the timber and providing added UV resistance. It promotes more consistent colour, better coverage, and a more uniform sheen across hardwoods and softwoods alike.
Whether you're coating a new Merbau deck or restoring Spotted Gum cladding, UVEX Primer gives you a proper base to build on.
Why It Works
Superior Adhesion: Bonds topcoats to timber for stronger hold
UV Defence: Helps prevent premature fading and timber greying
Colour Stability: Promotes even tone and finish across the surface
Fast Drying: Touch dry in 2 hours, re-coat in 4
Versatile Application: Brush, roller, or spray
Compatible: Works with both water-based and oil-based finishes
Pro Tip:
Use Haymes UVEX Primer before applying Dexpress or any film-forming sealer for improved longevity, richer colour, and a flawless, consistent finish — especially on dense hardwoods like Merbau and Spotted Gum.
Best For
New timber decks and exterior cladding
Prepping stripped or rejuvenated timber
Outdoor furniture and exposed timber work
Interior timber that needs a solid finish base
