REF: SKBDRAPDPM5 | MPN: 175129 | Barcode: 5055047210603

This resin-based primer seals and primes subfloors for both trade and DIY applications, providing a fast-curing solution that acts as a damp-proof membrane and adhesive isolator.

Who This Product Is For

This primer is designed for tradespeople and serious DIY users involved in floor preparation work. It suits those who need to prepare subfloors before installing flooring materials or applying levelling compounds.

It is appropriate for jobs requiring surface sealing, old adhesive isolation, damp-proofing, or consolidation of weak cement screeds.

Key Features

• Rapid Application: Dries quickly, allowing for shorter waiting times between coats.
• Multi-Purpose Usage: Functions as a primer, damp-proof membrane, and adhesive isolator for old residues.
• Enhanced Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all SikaBond wood adhesives and most other brands.
• User-Friendly Formula: Simple to apply using a roller or brush, for even coverage.

Key Benefits

• Reduces project downtime with its rapid skinning and curing properties.
• Gives a strong seal against dampness, improving floor preparation quality.
• Strengthens subfloors by consolidating weak cement screeds, helping them last longer.

Practical Applications

Well suited to a range of surface preparation needs, this product is suitable for:

• Priming absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors.
• Isolating and sealing old adhesive residues for new installations.
• Creating a damp-proof membrane to protect against moisture intrusion.
• Consolidating weakened cement screeds for improved strength.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This primer is used during the surface preparation stage before installing flooring or applying levelling compounds. It creates a sealed, primed surface that isolates old residues and provides damp-proofing.

The rapid-curing formula allows for quicker progression to subsequent steps like applying self-levelling compounds or installing flooring adhesives.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Make sure subfloors are clean, dry, and free from debris to promote good adhesion.
2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the liquid resin primer to achieve a consistent texture before application.
3. Application Method: Use a roller or squeegee to evenly spread the primer across the surface.
4. Drying Time: Allow sufficient time for each coat to dry; typically 10-20 minutes at 20C.
5. Repeat if Necessary: Apply additional coats as required for damp-proofing or sealing purposes.
6. Follow-on Work: Once dry, use a self-levelling compound if the floor needs smoothing before the final finish.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry environment to maintain the products consistency and effectiveness.
• Clean tools immediately after use to prevent resin build-up.
• Inspect the container regularly to check the product stays uncontaminated and usable.
