Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

• Concrete surfaces shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%.
• Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound, and existing paint finishes etc.
• Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting or mechanical scabbling is recommended to ensure the removal of contaminants and to provide a mechanical ‘key’ for the CPR 403 Primer for Concrete Repair Mortars – Epoxy WB.
• Steel reinforcement shall be abraded, wire brushed etc. to remove all traces of rust.
• Priming should immediately follow preparation to obviate the possibility of flash rusting.

Mixing

• CPR 403 Primer for Concrete Repair Mortars – Epoxy WB is supplied in pre-weighed containers ready for mixing.
• Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT Container into the BASE container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform consistency is achieved.

Application

• Apply by brush or roller at a nominal rate of 0.15 to 0.30kg/m².
