SpecPrime
Re-emulsifiable underlayment primer for SpecFlow
SpecPrime is a ready-to-use, re-emulsifiable underlayment primer specifically formulated to bond new concrete and SpecChem underlayments to horizontal concrete or other sound surfaces. It is recommended for interior and dry applications only and is particularly designed for use with SpecFlow.
- Re-emulsifiable/Rewettable: Enhances bonding capabilities over time.
- Superior Adhesive Strength: Provides robust bonding for underlayments.
- Designed for SpecFlow: Optimized for use with SpecFlow floor leveler.
- Delay Tolerant: Effective even when there is a delay between primer application and subsequent topping or underlayment.
- VOC Compliant: Meets environmental standards for volatile organic compounds.
Application
- Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove all contaminants such as water, soluble materials, or other foreign substances.
- Application: Apply SpecPrime uniformly at a rate of 100-150 square feet per gallon using a brush, broom, or sprayer. Ensure the surface is coated thoroughly to remain slightly tacky when dry.
- Drying Time: Typically 2-3 hours at 70°F. Ensure good ventilation to avoid delays in drying.
- Reapplication: For very porous surfaces, a second application may be required after 2-3 hours to achieve a continuous film.
Packaging
- Available in 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon pails, and 1-gallon jugs (4 per case).
