SpECtop Primer F1 is suitable for providing an
excellent bond between cementitious surfaces and
the SpECtop epoxy resin range of floor toppings and
also as a primer for SpECbuild EM epoxy mortar.
SpECtop Primer F1 has low viscosity properties,
which enable the material to penetrate the
substrate. This penetration and the chemical
bond, which forms between the primer and the
subsequently applied topping, provides a bond
greater than the cohesive strength of the concrete.
Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried
out prior to the application of SpECtop Primer F1.
This preparation should ensure the removal of
all grease, oil and loose material. Cracked and
damaged areas should be made good using
SpECbuild repair mortars.
Mixing
SpECtop Primer F1 is supplied as a two
component pack consisting of a base component
and a curing agent.The contents of the curing
agent tin should be
emptied into the base
component and stirred
with a spatula until the
product appears uniform.
Application
The mixed primer should then be applied to the
prepared substrate by a stiff brush. Care should be
taken to avoid over application.
If the primer is easily absorbed into the floor, it
will be necessary to apply a second coat once the
initial coat is tack free.
Certain subsequently applied SpEC products
require the SpECtop Primer F1 to be tack free
before application, others require a tacky primed
surface. Therefore we would strongly recommend
that the appropriate Data Sheet is carefully read
before any work begins.
SpECtop Primer F1 is supplied in 1, 5 and 15 litre
units. The theoretical coverage rate is 10 – 15
m²/litre.
