Temafloor 100 Primer

A two-component solvent-borne epoxy varnish.

• For priming of new and old concrete floors prior to laying Temafloor coatings and screeds. • Temafloor 100 Primer penetrates well into the pores of the concrete sealing the surface and giving good adhesion for coatings and screed.

• Ready to use product, no thinning needed.

Coverage on concrete floors is on the average: 1st primer coat 5–8 m2/l 2nd primer coat 6–11 m2/l Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

Solventborne

The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%. Note! There is a natural tendency of epoxy coatings to chalk and discolor on exterior exposure.

New concrete Remove laitance by power grinding, vacuum grit blasting or hydrochloric acid etching. Choose the method best suited for the premises.

Rinse with plenty of water. Dry the floor. Old concrete Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by MAALIPESU detergent. Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding or vacuum grit blasting. Choose the method best suited for the premises. Clean out pot-holes removing all loose friable material.
