SikaTile®-015 NPP

A SPECIALTY PRIMER WITH ADVANCED ADHESION PROPERTIES FOR USE ON EXISTING TILES, SMOOTH OR NON POROUS SURFACES

SikaTile®-015 NPP is a flexible, water-based, nonporous primer specifically designed with superior bond enhancing properties for use on existing tiles, smooth and non porous surfaces, without the need for mechanical surface preparation.

  • 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
  •  Ready to use, no mixing required
  • Internal and external applications
  • Dries to a keyed finish for superior bonding
  • Excellent alternative to mechanical grinding and acid etching surfaces
  • Low VOC

Application steps

EQUIPMENT

  • Personal protective equipment
  • Paint brush & short nap paint roller

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

  • All surfaces must be clean, dry, free from dust, grease, wax, oil, laitance, curing compounds, release agents, sealers, coatings, friable material and all other contaminants likely to prevent the SikaTile®-015 NPP from bonding.
  • All substrate surfaces must be sound and continuous, all voids and gaps must be filled.
  • Ensure all metal surfaces are free from rust and oxidisation film. Lightly sand / abrade metal surfaces prior to application.

MIXING

Primer comes premixed however stirring is recommended prior to use.

APPLICATION

Apply 1 coat with a paint brush or short nap paint roller to provide a continuous coating to the substrates.

Allow primer to dry and harden prior to tiling or subsequent coatings.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Equipment can be cleaned with water while primer is still wet.
