Euromix™ Acrylic Primer
Euromix™ Acrylic Primer is a water-based acrylic polymer primer, penetrative primer. Can be applied over Euromix™ render and patch products and most building substrates, including off-form concrete, other cement-based renders, fibre cement sheeting, PVC and brick and blockwork.
Preparation
Ensure that alkaline surfaces have aged for twenty-eight (28) days minimum. All surfaces must be sound, stable, dry, clean and free of dust, loose, flaking, friable material and substances that may diminish adhesion. Surface imperfections should be repaired prior to coating to achieve a good result and desired finish.
Mask or otherwise protect windows, trims adjacent areas against spills and splashes (with tape, plastic film or similar).
The primer must be thoroughly stirred using a suitable power stirrer prior to and periodically during application to ensure the fine aggregate remains evenly distributed throughout the product.
Avoid applying Euromix™ Acrylic Primer in windy conditions or at temperatures outside the range 10°C to 32°C. Do not apply where rain, frost or excessive moisture is expected before the product has adequately dried.
Painting over wet or damp substrates will most often result in some form of failure, including possible discolouration and / or colour variation and peeling.

Coverage
When undiluted the coverage is 6 to 8sqm per litre per coat. When diluted, with the addition of 30% water, the coverage is @ 14sqm per litre per coat. It is recommended that Euromix™ Acrylic Primer be tinted to the same colour as the texture coating to ensure better cover when applying the texture.
Drying and Curing
Drying and curing of the product is affected by type, dryness and porosity of the surface, temperature, humidity, ventilation, climate conditions and application technique and therefore drying and curing can only be given as a guide (at 25°C & 50% RH):
Touch Dry
Twenty to sixty minutes (20-60 min).
Recoat
