Sika® Level-01 Primer is a one part, white acrylic resin polymer water based dispersion, which is used to prime and seal concrete or mortar substrates prior to underlayment mortar application.

Best Uses

Sika® Level-01 Primer is used for sealing of mineral substrates and enhancing the bond of cementitious underlayment's, industrial grade screeds and mortars. It is suitable for priming anhydrite screed substrates, and is particularly suitable for using prior to the Sika® Level range of underlayment's.

Advantages

• Effectively seals concrete surfaces in a single, economic operation, preventing water loss into the substrate and bubbles forming in the screed and for improving the bond between the substrate and the mortar
• Excellent bond strengths throughout the range of application temperatures
• Quick drying and fast film formation
• Easy to apply
• Can be used at different dilution rates depending on the substrate porosity

Application

Application is best done by brush or by roller (which achieve better penetration and productivity).

Surfaces must be sound, open textured, clean and free from frost, cement laitance, surface water, oil, grease, coatings, all loose or friable particles and any other surface contaminants. The substrate must be prepared by suitable mechanical preparation techniques such as high-pressure water or abrasive blast cleaning equipment. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.

The substrate can be dampened to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application of the diluted Sika® Level-01 Primer.
