{"product_id":"watco-polyaspartic-primer","title":"Watco Polyaspartic Primer","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatco Polyaspartic Primer seals porous concrete before a compatible Watco polyaspartic floor coating. By reducing the suction of bare concrete and sand and cement screeds, it helps the finish remain at the surface rather than being drawn unevenly into the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts clear, two part formulation is suitable for indoor and outdoor coating projects and can be applied at temperatures down to -10°C when the substrate and conditions meet the specification. It can also help when overcoating suitably prepared, firmly bonded existing paint. Use it as part of a specified polyaspartic system, including compatible Watco Cold Set, Fastcoat, Food Safe, Protecta-Coat and Safety Coat products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenetrating primer for porous floors before polyaspartic coatings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear finish for interior and exterior use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-temperature application capability with temperature-dependent curing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe floor must be clean, sound and dry. Remove grease, dirt, loose material and laitance using a suitable preparation method. If chemical cleaning or etching is used, rinse thoroughly and allow complete drying. Mechanically prepare existing paint and remove poorly bonded areas. New concrete should normally dry for about eight weeks. Below 5°C, avoid wet preparation where the floor cannot be dried fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComposition \/ finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo part polyaspartic \/ Clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10°C to 25°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMixing temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10°C to 25°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePot life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 minutes at 15°C; 30 minutes below 15°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShelf life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months unopened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow approximately 20m² per 2.5L (8m²\/L) in one coat.

Low application temperature does not remove the need to mix warm material or keep the floor dry. Most self-levelling compounds need advice before coating. Protect stored material from freezing and read both component safety sheets. Cure and recoating times depend strongly on temperature and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use a primer beneath a polyaspartic coating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt reduces suction in porous concrete, helping a compatible polyaspartic topcoat form a more even surface film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it below freezing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApplication is specified down to -10°C on a suitable dry substrate.
