SUBSTRATE QUALITY
- All surfaces must be installed according to manufacturer’s instructions and relevant Australian Standard(s) and be structurally sound, dry, clean and free from movement, laitance, oil, grease, wax, curing compounds, release agents and any other loose or contaminating material. Thoroughly clean old surfaces, or new surfaces that have been treated, prior to priming
- All concrete floors must be fully cured and dry, in accordance with AS1884. For substrates with a high moisture content or subject to rising damp, apply a Sika moisture / vapour barrier.
- Non-porous substrates, such as steel trowel concrete or compressed fibre cement sheet must be primed with Davco PrimeX
- Contaminated substrates can be prepared with the use of Davco Ultrabond, the surface must be sound and free of loose material.
MIXING
Shake the primer prior to use.
APPLICATION
- Ultraprime can be applied using a brush or roller
- Use a paint brush to apply to the corners and any areas of detail. Use a short (10mm) nap roller to apply to the walls and floor
- Take care to ensure that ponding of the primer doesn’t occur
- If Ultraprime is being applied to very porous concrete surfaces or in hot / windy conditions, the surface should be wet down prior to the application of the primer. Ensure the water does not pool or pond on the surface, the substrate should appear as a matt finish.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean tools and equipment with water before the primer dries.
Product that has dried will require mechanical removal.
