Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Primer is a low-odour, water-based primer that binds and stabilises friable and porous substrates prior to coating with Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Paints.
Preparation
Ensure the surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease or any substance liable to give adhesion problems. Scrape off any old or flaking paint until you have a firm surface. Special attention should be given to areas under cars to ensure all oil, grease, dirt and road salt is removed.
New concrete must be left for at least 6 months before applying Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Primer.
Application
Stir base thoroughly before adding all of the activator then mix well. DO NOT MIX PART UNITS. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before using. Pot life is 2 hours at 20°C. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections.
On bare or new surfaces apply first followed by 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Paint. Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Primer is not suitable for use over PVC, thermoplastic tiles, quarry tiles, or granolithic concrete. Do not apply it on concrete surfaces treated with alkali containing liquids, areas subjected to rising damp or areas treated with PVA bonding solutions. Do not apply in cold (below 15°C), damp or humid conditions. If concrete floors are very smooth then pre-treat with Blackfriar Professional Acid Etch followed after thorough rinsing by Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Primer.
Clean Up
Remove as much product from application equipment as possible before washing with water. Do not empty into drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
