Description

Concrete Primer – Epoxy WB – Rapid Cure

CPR 402 Concrete Primer – Epoxy WB – Rapid Cure is a two pack, water dispersible Epoxy based primer/sealer/clear coating, especially formulated to meet the technological and ecological requirements of modern building and industrial practice. The rapid cure primer is non-flammable and solvent free, is low odour, and may be applied to dry or damp surfaces.

CPR 402 Concrete Primer has excellent adhesion to most building materials, is non-toxic once cured, and consequently is a highly versatile material lending itself to application in many different types of location and circumstances. It is particularly suitable where rapid overcoating or access is required.

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be sound, clean and free from standing water, laitance, oil, grease, and other contaminants.
New concrete should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 21 days.
Floors should be mechanically abraded, scarified, grit blasted or otherwise treated prior to application.
Note: For steel work a coat of CPR 410 Metal Primer – Epoxy WB is recommended as a primer instead of CPR 402.

Mixing

CPR 402 is supplied in pre-weighed containers ready for mixing.
Pour the contents of the BASE container into the CURING AGENT container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour is achieved.
A low speed drill with paddle attachment is recommended for mixing operations.

Application

Apply by brush, roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 5 m² per kg.
As a sealer or clear coating, a second coat of CPR 402 Concrete Primer – Epoxy WB – Rapid Cure should be applied after a minimum of 2 hours, and before a maximum of 48 hours.
As a primer, overcoating may be commenced as soon as the initial milky appearance has cleared. Or else within 24 hours at 20°C.
