KILZ Original Low Odor Interior Primer & Sealer – 1 Quart

Overview

KILZ Original Low Odor Primer delivers the trusted adhesion and stain-blocking performance of the classic formula with a noticeably lower solvent odor. This interior primer acts as a sealant that helps prepare walls, ceilings, and other surfaces for paint, making spaces more comfortable during prep.

If a faint odor arises during application, it typically dissipates quickly as the surface dries, especially when the area is well ventilated. The formulation is designed to minimize lingering scent while delivering solid undercoating for your chosen paint finish.

What it blocks and what it seals

The formula targets a range of common stains and odors, helping establish a clean, uniform base for finishing coats. It blocks moisture-related marks and helps contain odors, while providing a solid foundation for latex or oil-based paints.

Surfaces and compatibility

Use on properly prepared interior surfaces to create a durable base. Suitable surfaces include brick, painted metal, properly prepared glossy surfaces, drywall, paneling, wallpaper, masonry, plaster, and wood. The primer is compatible with oil, alkyd, and water-based paints, making it a versatile choice for diverse renovation projects.
