As a manufacturer we always recommend on weak, dusty, damp, concrete floor our primer: ARCAPOXY PRIMER.
Kindly note that certain distributors, resellers, professionals applicators do not recommend, or apply the primer at all which could, on certain case, cause problem adhesion and reduce the epoxy paint lifetime.

Instructions for use EPOXY BINDER
Product Preparation
- Always pour gradually the hardener (B) in the resin (A) and continue to mix. (Caution: If you will mix both components too quickly and all in once without any movement, the mix could smoke and darken which will make it unusable)
- Mix the totality of the two components (or a party of it, depending of your need, proportion will have to be respected: 1 weight of hardener for 2.23 weight of resin meaning : 31% of hardener for 69% of resin) during 2 to 3 mn with the help of electric or pneumatic mixer at low rotational speed.
- IMPORTANT: Once mixed, apply quickly the product to the surface (within 20 minutes)
- Can be diluted with Epoxy thinner
- If used as priming coat prior to painting: add 1/3 of sand (0.2 / 0.5mm) for 2/3 of epoxy binder
- Limit application temperature:+10°C TO +25°C / Max hygrometry: 80%
Surface Preparation
Concrete floors: Support has to be clean, no laitance, free of grease and loose particle. Be sure there is no elevation of fluid. Remove water and dust with an oil free blast immediately prior to application You will may have to remove other foreign matter by sandblasting, mechanical abrasion or acid etching. For newest concrete floors wait 28 days before preparing the surface. Neutralize The alkalinity of the substrate and rinse thoroughly leaving no soap or cleaning material suds or residue on the surface. Vacuum the surface once dry.
METAL:use a chisel-style scraper and a hand-held wire brush or treat by power wire-brushing or disk sanding to remove any loose rust and peeling paint. Wash with methylated spirit or alcohol, let dry and passivate the surface.
TILES AND SYNTHETIC SURFACES : (polyester, epoxy, etc.): Lightly sand the surface to create a micro-roughness. Remove any dust and loose particles.
Application
Apply a thin coat with a brush, roller or airless spray.
Construction joints and all concrete work must be applied while this thin coat is still sticky to touch (at 20) C after 6 to 8 hours maximum.
Apply EPOXY PAINT as topcoat.
Storage
Store in dry, cool and frost free conditions. Shelf life is 12 months.
