Exhibits excellent adhesion to metal and concrete substrates
Easy to apply
Used as primer to give excellent bonding to concrete and metal substrates (e.g. iron, aluminium, stainless steel)
Strongly recommended, with CM primer, that curing and adhesion tests are conducted on the particular substrate prior to general use on site

Substrate Preparation
All substrates must be dry, firm, solid and free of dust, fat and oil. Loose tiles and tiles over hollows must also be removed. Laitance and loose articles must be thoroughly removed. Steel substrates must be prepared to SA 2.5 (according to DIN 55929).
Surface structure shall allow the correct application of the primer.
Visible pin holes and craters shall be filled separately using filled primer or suitable cement mortar.
For further details, see the Installation Method Statement available from the data sheet tab above.
Mixing
Prior to use CM Primer must be carefully stirred to achieve a uniform distribution of the paraffin contained in the product. CM Primer is thoroughly mixed together with the Catalyst (50% dibenzoyl peroxide), in accordance with the below guidelines.
It should be noted that the amount of catalyst powder to be added depends upon the substrate temperature.
Mixing Catalyst
at 30°C
add 1% by weight of resin
at 20°C
add 2% by weight of resin
at 10°C
add 4% by weight of resin
at 0°C
add 6% by weight of resin

Application
Substrate surface temperature may range from 0°C to 40°C.
Do not apply when surface temperature is above 40°C and/or rapidly rising. Special care must be observed if area is under exposure to direct sunshine.
Substrate temperature must be at least 3°C higher than the actual dew point.
After the catalyst has been stirred in, the primer is poured onto the substrate in stripes and distributed with a short-pile paint roller. A notched rubber squeegee can be used for fast distribution of large quantities.
Apply at a rate of between 300 g/m² to 500 g/m² depending on density and porosity of the substrate. In any case, continue applying primer until saturation occurs to obtain a continuous resin film. On extremely porous substrates a second prime coat may be required.
When a continuous resin film is obtained, broadcast fire-dried quartz sand (particle size 0.7 - 1.2 mm or 0.3 - 0.7 mm) into the still wet primer.
Consumption of this broadcast sand:
Approximately 0.3 kg/m2.
