Epoxy Clear Primer Coat
EPOXY CLEAR PRIMER COATS HOW ITS WORK?
Epoxy Clear primer coating are bonding to concrete by forming a chemical bond. When you mix your primer what you are actually doing is creating a chemical reaction that initiates the process of hardening. Epoxy primers are formulated to seep into the pores of your surface to achieve a strong bond. If you were to apply a primer onto an unprepared surface, this bondage would not be as strong, that’s why it’s important to either acid etch and power wash or mechanically prep your floor so the primer can properly bond.Applying the right floor primer can vastly improve adhesion of leveling compounds to subfloors, resulting
BENEFITS OF USING AN EPOXY CLEAR PRIMERS
- Better Adhesion
- Reduce air bubbles and holes in your final coating
- Allow for stronger bondage of base and top coats
- Provide fountain to build your coatings on top of
- Moisture Tolerant/Oil Blocking
Concrete flooring primers create the best foundation for your epoxy base coat to bond to. Epoxies are designed to cure and harden. If the substrate your are applying your epoxy base coat to is not properly prepped or primed then from the start you are putting yourself at a disadvantage to have floor issues down the road. While primers can be expensive, sometimes more than the epoxy itself they are well worth the money as the benefits outlined above clearly outweigh the downside.
Bare Concrete floor Coated Once Coated twice
- Epoxy primers are thin, providing a better adhesion as it penetrated into the concrete substrate allowing a better bond.
- Primers provide a better chemical bond when using thicker epoxy base coats. This results in a longer lasting and a more durable concrete floor coating.
- Elimination of air bubbles and pinhole that are formed due to the outgassing of the concrete*
- Ability to achieve a higher dry film thickness and coating uniformity as it is not soaking into the concrete.
- Effective in providing a moisture resistance for concrete flooring that has moisture problems.
- Primers form a tenacious waterproof barrier for concrete flooring that is devoid of an effective Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) which usually results in virtually any paint lifting and peeling off the surface.
- Most epoxy primers are moisture tolerant and work well when being applied on concrete that has not fully dried from being cleaned
