Flowprime SF - Low Viscosity Epoxy Primer
Vendor: Virtus Resins
Flowprime SF is a two-component low-viscosity epoxy primer with good penetrating properties for use on concrete and polymer modified cementitious screeds. Flowprime SF is designed to improve the adhesion of floor toppings and mortars to the substrate.
Features & Benefits
- Low viscosity - penetrates the substrate
- Seals concrete pores - reduces the potential for out gassing and pin holing in resin floor finishes
- Improves the adhesion of toppings to the substrate
- Easy to mix and apply
Suitable Substrates
Thoroughly prepared concrete, polymer modified sand and cement screeds, steel, brickwork, block work and timber.
Application Conditions
Resin products should not be mixed and laid outside of the range 10 °C to 25 °C. Localised heating or cooling equipment may be required outside this range to achieve ideal temperature conditions. To reduce the risk of “blooming” caused by condensation, the climate above the uncured floor should be maintained at least 3 °C above the dew point until subsequent toppings are applied.
Mixing
Add the hardener component to the resin component and mix using a low speed electric mixer (200 - 500 rpm) fitted with a mixing paddle designed to minimize air entrainment for 1 - 2 minutes until homogeneous. Care should be taken to ensure that any material adhering to the sides and bottom of the mixing vessel is thoroughly mixed in otherwise uncured patches may result.
Application
Once mixed the primer should be applied immediately in a thin continuous film Work the primer into the surface using a stiff brush or roller avoiding pooling. On porous surfaces Flowprime SF will be absorbed very quickly leaving dry patches. A second coat should be applied to these dry areas to ensure good adhesion and reduce the possibility of air release from the substrate causing bubbles or pin holing in the final topping
