Sikafloor®-01 Primer

Water-based flooring primer for levelling compounds and tile adhesives

Sikafloor®-01 Primer is a 1-part, water-based, synthetic resin concentrate which is diluted with water and used to prime cementitious, wood and mastic asphalt floor substrates. It is applied before using cementitious levelling compounds and tile adhesives to mainly reduce absorbency and improve adhesion onto the substrate. Internal use.

  • Low consumption / high coverage
  • Suitable for use with underfloor heating
  • Short waiting times
  • Reduces substrate dust
  • Compatible with defined substrates
  • Very low emissions
  • Applied by brush, roller or spray
  • Can be diluted with water
  • Ready for use
  • Solvent-free according to TRGS 610

Application steps

MIXING

Shake or stir container before use. If water dilution is required, after mixing product, pour into a clean container and mix in the appropriate amount of water.

APPLICATION

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in method statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

Apply primer onto the prepared substrate by roller, paintbrush, brush or suitable spraying equipment (mixing ratio at least 1:1). Ensure a continuous, pore free coat covers the substrate. On very absorbent substrates a second application maybe necessary. Avoid puddles of primer.

Confirm waiting /overcoating time has been achieved before applying subsequent products.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically
