Preparation and application
Substrate and preparation
Concrete substrates to be coated must be sound and exhibit a minimum compressive strength of 25N/mm² and a minimum of 1.5N/mm² tensile strength for the application of the proposed system. The profile and levels must be appropriate for the application of the proposed system, capable of bearing loads, free of cracks and voids, and free from laitance, dust and other contamination. The substrate must be dry to 75% relative humidity and free from rising damp, ground water, oil, waxes, fats and other contamination. Should there be rising damp, ground water problems or impurities such as penetrated oils, etc., please refer to the ASP Technical Team for a suitable and appropriate substrate preparation guideline or solution. The substrate may be prepared by blasting, scarifying or diamond grinding to remove laitance. Irregularities, small damages and cracks must be repaired with an epoxy filler.
Primer
Mix Base A and Hardener B with a low-speed drill fitted with a spiral mixing blade for approximately 3 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Ensure excessive air is not introduced while mixing. The mixed material must be applied within 15 minutes at 20ºC. Apply immediately after mixing with a roller or double-lipped rubber squeegee, working the resin well into the substrate, permeating any surface irregularities. On porous substrates apply further resin until the substrate is completely wetted out. Avoid any ponding of the primer. Broadcast into the wet primer with a suitable size scatter aggregate to accommodate the specified top coat system. For more detailed information on substrate requirements and preparation, priming and application of the top coat, please refer to the product’s method statement.
Maintenance
Clean all spillages on ASP-primeStd immediately to maintain its appearance and lifespan. Clean the floor regularly with a rotary brush or mechanical scrubber and a suitable detergent. See how to clean and maintain a resin floor.
Health and safety
Applicators must use appropriate personal protective equipment. Dispose of used and empty packaging, solvents and washings in line with local environmental, health and safety by-laws. Refer to the product's material safety data sheet for detail.
For full substrate requirements, priming and application of the top coat, refer to the product's method statement or ask our technical team.

SubscribeQuestions about ASP-primeStd
What is ASP-primeStd?
ASP-primeStd is a low viscosity, solvent-free, versatile, high performance, chemical resistant epoxy primer for concrete substrates.
Where is ASP-primeStd used?
ASP-primeStd is best suited as a primer or adhesion promoter for most synthetic resin systems onto prepared concrete and grano-screeds.
How thick is ASP-primeStd?
ASP-primeStd is applied at 0.25 mm.
How much area does a kit of ASP-primeStd cover?
The theoretical coverage is 4 m²/litre. A 15 litre kit covers 60 m². Actual coverage depends on the substrate and site conditions.
How long does ASP-primeStd take to cure?
At 20°C it takes light foot traffic after 16 hours, light traffic after 24 hours, heavy duty traffic after 48 hours and full chemical cure at 7 days. Once mixed, the working time is 15 – 20 minutes @ 20°C.
What is the shelf life of ASP-primeStd?
12 months in unopened original packaging. Keep at an ambient 10°C – 25°C temperature in dry, cold-free conditions.
