Mapei Elastocolor Primer

Mapei Elastocolor Primer is a solvent-based fixing primer with high penetration properties for porous substrates and curing agent for repair mortars.

Best Uses

Mapei Elastocolor Primer is used to impregnate concrete surfaces repaired with products from the Mapegrout line before smoothing or painting with Elastocolor Rasante or with Elastocolor. The product penetrates into porous substrates and ensures excellent insulation and good adherence to the paint that will be applied.

• Ideal fixing treatment for chalking and dusty substrates
• Offers anti-evaporation protection of fresh Mapegrout 

Elastocolor Primer is also used as a curing agent for repair renders and mortars and can be directly painted over with Elastocolor. The product does not need to be removed before painting the repaired surfaces because it does not diminish the bonding strength of the protective material to the substrate. Elastocolor Primer is ready to use.

Application

Used as a fixative before painting

Preparing the substrate
The surface to be treated with Elastocolor Primer must be perfectly clean and sound. Completely remove dirt, dust, grease, oils and efflorescence by sandblasting, hydro-sandblasting or simply with water under pressure. Washing with hot water or steam is particularly recommended if oil or grease are present. Wait until the substrate is completely dry.

Preparing the product
Elastocolor Primer is ready-to-use.

Applying the product
Elastocolor Primer is applied using conventional methods: by brush, roller or spray. For good impregnation a single coat application is sufficient. The next coat of paint must be applied when Elastocolor Primer is dry.

Used as a curing agent

Preparing the surface
Before applying Elastocolor Primer the fresh mortar surface must be finished with a float until level (and ensure a suitable weaving to directly receive the following protection with Mapei Elastocolor Paint).

Preparing the product
Elastocolor Primer is ready-to-use, therefore it should never be diluted with solvents.

Applying the product
Spray Elastocolor Primer evenly over the surface with a manual pump or compressed air immediately after the surface has been float finished.
