Two-component primer based on 100% epoxy resins.

Features and applications

  • Adhesive for NIVELAND and PAVILAND systems.
  • Suitable for bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete.
  • Suitable for bonding hardened concrete to hardened concrete.
  • Suitable for bonding hardened concrete to other materials: fibre cement, metals, etc.
  • Its low viscosity makes it ideal for application through an airless sprayer.
  • Extremely good penetration of the base material.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Substrates

  • The contact surface may be damp (maximum moisture level of 4%) but should be free of standing water and ice.
