EuroFix Acrylic Primer
Deep-penetrating acrylic primer that stabilises dusty surfaces and controls suction before bonding, rendering and painting
Description
A water-based, deep-penetrating acrylic primer based on a fine-particle acrylic copolymer that penetrates deep into porous and dusty surfaces, stabilising them, binding loose particles and regulating water suction. It is an essential preparation step that ensures the success of subsequent adhesive, render and paint layers on cementitious, gypsum and block substrates. Low-emission (M1) and compliant with indoor-air-quality requirements.
Fields of Application
- Stabilising dusty cement and gypsum before render and paint
- Controlling suction of highly porous surfaces before bonding
- Improving adhesion of tile adhesive, render and paints
- Treating old, weak surfaces before refurbishment
- Absorbent interior and exterior surfaces
Technical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Base | Water-based acrylic copolymer |
| Colour | Milky, dries clear |
| Density | ≈ 1.0 kg/L |
| Dilution | Ready to use — do not dilute |
| Application method | Brush / roller / spray |
| Application temp. | +5°C to +35°C |
| Drying time | 2–4 hours |
| Overcoating | After full drying (2–4 h) |
| Penetration depth | Deep into porous substrates |
| Emissions | Very low (M1) |
Surface Preparation
- Clean the surface of dust, dirt, oils and loose paint residues.
- Remove weak or crumbling sections before application.
- Ensure the surface is fully dry before priming.
Application Method
- Shake the product well before use and apply undiluted.
- Apply one even coat by brush, roller or spray until the surface is saturated.
- Treat highly absorbent surfaces with two coats where required.
- Allow 2–4 hours to dry before applying the next layer.
Consumption
| Use | Rate |
|---|---|
| Medium-absorption surfaces | ≈ 10–12 m²/L |
| Highly absorbent surfaces | ≈ 8 m²/L |
| General coverage | 8–12 m²/L by substrate |
Comparison vs. Ordinary Site Mix
| Criterion | Ordinary Mix | EuroFix |
|---|---|---|
| Dust binding | No primer: dust layer blocks bond | Binds dust and consolidates particles |
| Suction control | Substrate pulls water from adhesive/paint | Balances suction for proper curing |
| vs diluted PVA glue | Forms a film that may delaminate | Penetrates and binds without a barrier film |
| Strength of next layer | Weak, inconsistent adhesion | Boosts adhesive and paint adhesion |
| Emissions & odour | Some alternatives have strong odour | Low-emission (M1) |
Consumption & Cost
Primer costs very little compared with what it protects; one litre covers 8–12 m² and costs a fraction of the adhesive or paint applied over it. Skipping primer on a dusty or highly absorbent surface means the substrate pulls water out of the adhesive or paint before it cures, producing weak bond, peeling and hollowing that force the whole job to be stripped and redone. This simple preparation step prevents costly failure and ensures every subsequent layer bonds properly the first time.
