SpECtop Primer F1

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.
