The primer film forms and seals the substrate to prevent air release which could otherwise cause pin holes in the topping. Advantages Excellent adhesion to concrete & cementious surfaces. Excellent water resistance after film formation. Economic, single pack, easy to use with no restrictive pot life. Reduces water absorption Description Dekguard WB Primer is a water based copolymer emulsion, formulated to achieve specific performance characteristics.It dries to a transparent finish & supplied as a single component white liquid. Technical support Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high performance, high quality concrete repair and construction products.

Design Criteria One or two coats of Nitozinc Primer (M) are generally required, dependent largely on the nature and profile of the substrate. Nitozinc Primer (M) is overcoatable generally between 30 minutes and one hour after the application of first coat. Application of top coating may also proceed at this time. At elevated temperatures, the recoatable and overlay times will be reduced. The minimum application temperature for Nitozinc Primer(M) is 100 .

Application instructions
Substrate Preparation The primer application is carried out after the existing concrete or masonry surface has been prepared and cleaned. Substrates to be primed must be sound, clean and free from all loose particles, dust, oil and any other contaminants. Latience and deposits on new concrete surfaces are best removed by light grit blasting, mechanical scabbling or grinding. Coating The primer should be applied immediately in a thin continuous film to the clean prepared surface. Apply the primer in to the surface using a brush or roller. Excess application & pudding should be avoided.. If the concrete substrate is porous, it may be necessary to apply a second coat of Dekguard WB primer. It should be carried out when the first coat is dry. Protection Dekguard W B 300 can be applied to surfaces previously treated with Dekguard W B primer. For application of Dekguard WB 300, leave the Dekguard WB primer to attain touch dry. Cleaning All tools and equipments should be cleaned with water immediately after use. Limitations Dekguard WB Primer is suitable for use on sound concrete and masonary surfaces, that are free from surface contamination and have been well prepared. Dekguard W B Primer should not be applied when the surface temperture of the substrate is below 10oC or likely to fall below 10oC within 48 hours of application.
