Arc Tilers Primer is a styrene butadiene co-polymer emulsion for use as a primer; bonding agent and sealer formulated to improve, adhesion strength and long-term durability of the bond between the adhesive and any surface substrate. It is a safe to use and can be applied to a wide range of building materials including applications where contact with water is likely.
Arc Tilers Primer can be used as a water-proof bonding agent when mixed as a slurry with neat cement and can readily be incorporated into mixes of sand cement screeds, plasters and renders, giving a water reducing andplasticising effect, as well as improving wet-tack and adhesion of the render to the existing base masonry. Arc Tilers Primer is an excellent primer for porous surfaces such as gypsum plaster, old / worn concrete; sand cement screeds and render by reducing porosity, surface dusting and improving initial tack so that subsequently applied adhesives, renders or screeds can achieve a secure and lasting key with the base substrate.
COVERAGE
The consumption of ARC TILERS PRIMER for any particular application depends heavily upon the texture and porosity of the surface it is applied to and the figures shown below are intended as a rough guide only.
- ADMIXTUREÂ 5 to 15 litres per 50kg of OPC
- BONDING SLURRYÂ 3 - 5 square metres per litre
- PRIMER/ SEALER Up to 20 square metres per litre
