Neoprene
PRIMER

GENERAL PURPOSE NEOPRENE PRIMER

Description:

Neoprene Primer is designed to be used as a general purpose primer for dusty or absorbent surfaces to promote adhesion and to prevent unacceptably rapid drying of adhesive and smoothing underlayments.

Usage

Neoprene Primer is nonflammable, suitable for use over normal underfloor heating installations and is coloured green to provide the user with visual control of coverage uniformity.

For use on absorbent surfaces such as concrete, sand/cement and synthetic anhydrite screeds; plywood, hardboard and chipboard.

Materials Supplied

Single component 5 litre bottle.

Coverage

5 litres of Neoprene Primer mixed with 20 litres of water will cover approximately 100m².

Storage

Protect from frost and store under dry warehouse conditions at a temperature between 10°C and 30°C.

Shelf Life

12 months in unopened containers and stored under good conditions.

Application Instructions

SURFACE PREPARATION

Floor surfaces must be sound, smooth, dry and free from contaminants that may prevent adhesion. Concrete and sand/cement screeds must be fully cured and any laitance or surface treatments must be removed. Existing adhesive should be mechanically removed until only a minimal firmly bonded residue remains.

The temperature of the surface must be above 10°C when the primer is applied to the subfloor and underfloor heating must be off for at least 48 hours before and after application. Ensure the subfloor is dry and incorporates an effective damp proof membrane.

MIXING

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. For absorbent surfaces add one part Neoprene Primer to 4 parts of clean cold water and stir until thoroughly dispersed. Apply the Neoprene Primer evenly to the whole surface using a soft broom/ brush and allow it to dry completely. Apply a further applications, adding one part Neoprene Primer to 3 parts clean cold water and allow to dry thoroughly. Ensure sufficient coats of Neoprene primer are installed to reduce the risk of air transfer from dry, porous substrates.

Refer to General Guidance notes below.

CLEANING

Wash with warm water immediately after use.

PRECAUTIONS

Avoid excessive trafficking of the subfloor once the primer has dried.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Please consult the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets prior to using Neoprene Primer.
