Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECtop Primer FX.

The prepared surface should be free from laitance, dust, algae, oil and grease.

Mixing
SpECtop Primer FX is supplied in a two component kit, consisting of a base component and a curing agent.The entire contents of the curing agent should be emptied into the base component. The combined materials should then be mixed using a suitable slow-speed drill and mixing paddle for 2 minutes until uniform. The sides of the tin should then be scraped and mixing should continue for a further 2 minutes.

Application
The mixed product may be applied by brush at a theoretical consumption rate of 10 – 15 m2/litre/coat.

On particularly porous substrates, a second coat may be required.

SpECtop Primer FX is supplied in 5 litre units with a coverage rate of 5 to 10 m²/litre.
