Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer
Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer is a water-based acrylic polymer primer containing a specially selected fine aggregate. The addition of fine aggregate provides a textured surface and mechanical key, promoting improved adhesion of subsequent Euromix Texture coatings. Euromix Sand-Tex Primer can be used over off-form concrete, cement-based renders, fibre cement sheeting, AAC 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™ Sand-Tex 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.
Product Name
Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer
Packaging
15 litre plastic buckets.
Appearance
In the bucket Primer appears as an off-white viscous liquid.
After application and upon drying Euromix™ Primer finishes to a slightly opaque coating.
Applying Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer
Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer can be applied by brush or roller. Typically, one coat is required. Maintain a 'wet edge' during application and ensure the fine aggregate is distributed consistently across the surface.
If needed Euromix™ Sand-Tex Primer can be tinted to match the colour of the finishing topcoats.
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
Thirty to sixty minutes (30-60 min).
Recoat/Overcoat
Two (2) hours.
