ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME

A water based non porous primer designed for tiling applications

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME is a unique flexible water based primer specifically designed with advanced adhesion properties for use on existing tiles, smooth and non porous surfaces, including puddle flanges and pipe penetrations.

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME enables the ability to tile over difficult, non porous surfaces without the need for mechanical surface preparation. Fast drying formulation allows for installation of tiles 1 hour after application.
  • No Mixing - single component
  • No wastage
  • Low VOC
  • Non flammable and non hazardous
  • Internal/ external applications
  • Easy application with brush or roller
  • Dries to a keyed finish
  • Excellent alternative to mechanical grinding and acid etching surfaces

Application

Application Information

Substrates

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME can be used over the following substrates:

  • Priming of pipe penetrations, puddle flanges and drain grates manufactured from zincalume, stainless steel, copper, brass and metals
  • Priming over glazed tiles (glossy tiles require mechanical preparation prior)
  • Priming over vinyl tiles (non cushion backed) and laminates (dry areas only)
  • Priming over PVC puddle flanges
  • Priming of Aqua Blok epoxy moisture seal vapour barrier
  • Priming of general non-porous and shiny surfaces* (dry areas only)

*conduct bond test prior to tiling application

Substrate Temperature

Min 5°C to Max 35°C

Waiting Time / Overcoating

Application

Wait Time

Primer over existing tiles

40 mins - 1 hour
Priming prior to waterproofing3 - 5 hours

Primer over non porous substrates and puddle flanges

1hr +

* Values determined at laboratory conditions: 23°C & 50% RH. Site conditions will vary wait times. Higher temperatures with reduce times and cool temperatures with extend times. High humidity will slow drying of primer.

Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME should be stirred before use. ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME may be applied to vertical or horizontal surfaces using a roller or brush. When using over existing cut back carpet and vinyl adhesive surfaces, it is recommended a sample test be done to ensure adequate adhesion.

EQUIPMENT

Application with roller or brush.

MIXING

Primer comes premixed however stirring is recommended prior to use.

APPLICATION

Apply one coat of ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME by brush or roller. Final thickness once dry shall be min 0.2 - 0.4 mm.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean equipment with water while the product is still wet.
