Adhesion Primers
Adhesion primers are essential for creating a secure bond between floor surfaces and finishing coats. They are specially formulated to adhere to difficult substrates, ensuring the topcoat properly grips onto surfaces like metal, concrete, and tiles. Used across a range of industries, these primers are vital for high-traffic areas or where durability and longevity are crucial. Whether for commercial floors or domestic applications, adhesion primers play a key role in delivering long-lasting results. For assistance in selecting the right primer for specific surfaces, contact technical support for compatibility guidance.

Essential Bonding: What Are Adhesion Primers?
Adhesion primers are highly specialised coatings designed to create a strong bond between floor surfaces and topcoats. They work by preparing the substrate both chemically and mechanically, ensuring that final floor finishes adhere securely. Without proper adhesion, topcoats may fail, leading to peeling or delamination. Adhesion primers are critical in overcoming this issue, especially on challenging surfaces where regular paints struggle to stick.
Industry Applications: Where Are Adhesion Primers Used and Why?
Adhesion primers are widely used in various environments, from industrial warehouses to domestic garages. Their primary role is to provide excellent adhesion on difficult-to-coat surfaces such as metal, sealed concrete, and glazed tiles. In high-traffic commercial spaces, these primers ensure long-term durability, preventing damage from wear and tear. In residential settings, they help maintain the integrity of finishes on smooth surfaces like tiled floors, ensuring coatings last longer.
Versatile Application: What Surfaces Benefit from Adhesion Primers?
Adhesion primers are essential for many surfaces, including metals, tiles, and concrete. These substrates can be difficult to bond with, but using an adhesion primer ensures that topcoats grip effectively. From sealing garage floors to preparing commercial spaces for heavy use, the correct adhesion primer enhances both the durability and lifespan of floor finishes. Choosing the right primer depends on the specific surface type and finish, and technical support is recommended for product selection.
FAQs
What surfaces require adhesion primers?
Adhesion primers are recommended for use on metal, sealed concrete, tiles, and other hard-to-bond surfaces to ensure proper adhesion of topcoats.
Are adhesion primers suitable for exterior use?
Yes, many adhesion primers can be used outdoors, but it is essential to select the correct product. Contact technical support for advice on external applications.
Is surface preparation necessary before applying adhesion primers?
Yes, most surfaces require proper cleaning or abrasion to ensure the primer bonds correctly. Technical support can guide specific preparation steps.
