Everflex Multi-Prime is a water-based acrylic primer for porous and selected non-porous substrates before compatible waterproofing membranes, levelling compounds, tile adhesives and grouts. It offers a practical preparation option where one job includes different surface types.
Unlike Everflex WBP, which is targeted at absorbent substrates, Multi-Prime is designed for both surface categories when used with the correct preparation and dilution. Apply diluted product to suitable porous concrete and cementitious surfaces; apply neat to approved non-porous surfaces.
Typical applications
-
Concrete and screeds: controlling absorption before compatible Everflex membranes.
-
Tile and levelling preparation: priming approved substrates before selected cement-based tile adhesives or floor levellers.
-
Burnished concrete: preparation for suitable finishes after the prescribed abrasion and cleaning.
-
Selected existing tiles and painted surfaces: providing a bonding interface on compatible, prepared surfaces, excluding unsupported high-gloss finishes.
-
Mixed-material waterproofing substrates: creating a consistent base across approved boards, renders and masonry.
Application
On porous substrates, dilute one part primer with two parts clean water for the initial coat; exceptionally porous surfaces may need a further diluted coat. On appropriate non-porous surfaces use undiluted Multi-Prime after surface preparation. Allow to dry before covering with a compatible system. Do not use as a moisture-vapour barrier or on wet, contaminated or persistently damp surfaces, and do not leave it UV exposed.
