Generally speaking, exterior primers have a built-in moisture barrier where as interior primers do not… however there is much more in the way they are formulated… which only a paint chemist could explain…
For example Pigmented Shellac Sealer Primer is excellent for interiors and does provide a moisture barrier but does not hold up for exteriors…
