RAM-PRIMER
BOND NEW CONCRETE TO OLD REEMULSIFIABLE, ONE TIME ONLY
PRIMER FOR RAMPATCH and RAM STRUCTURAL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION RAM-PRIMER is a ready to use, film forming, onetime reemulsifiable liquid bonding agent and polymer modifier for concrete. (VOC Compliant) This material, based on a new technology, gives outstanding surface and integral bonding without moisture sensitivity. It may be used inside or outside. RAM-PRIMER is used to prime surfaces before applications of RAMPATCH, RAM STRUCTURAL and RAM-PRIMER. In addition to these RAM TOOL products, it may be used to bond other materials to various surfaces. RAM-PRIMER is an aqueous resin emulsion. It is a film forming copolymer emulsion.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
TECHNICAL DATA
Use RAM-PRIMER as a primer for RAMPATCH and RAM STRUCTURAL. It is used as a surface bonder to bond fresh cementitious materials such as concrete, stucco, gypsum, plaster, etc. to various surfaces including concrete, masonry, stone, brick, plaster or wood. RAM-PRIMER may be used inside or outside. It may be used as an integral polymer modifier for cementitious materials. RAM-PRIMER increases the bond strength and water resistance of cementitious mortars. Use RAM-PRIMER in the repair of concrete, plastered ceilings and walls and stucco surfaces.
RAM-PRIMER meets requirements of ASTM C-1059.
COVERAGE One Gallon undiluted will cover approximately 200 sq. ft., exact coverage will vary with surface porosity, profile and application technique.
PACKAGING Case of 4 - 1 gallon containers, 80 gallons per pallet. 5 gallon pails, 36 per pallet. Protect from freezing.
SURFACE PREPARATION All surfaces must be clean and structurally sound; free of curing compounds, sealers, form release agents, oil, grease, paint, etc. Pores of the surface must be open to permit penetration and proper bonding. Remove oil, grease or asphalt residue with trisodium phosphate or detergent. Necessary surface preparation may be done by abrasive blasting, scarifying or acid etching. If acid etch is used, surface must be neutralized and brushed thoroughly. Rinse and clean thoroughly with clean water.
APPLICATION-BONDING AGENT Stir RAM-PRIMER thoroughly before using. Apply to surface with broom or brush for best results. Dampen brush or broom before using and shake out water. If roller or sprayer is used, the RAM-PRIMER must still be worked into the surface with a brush or broom. Allow RAM-PRIMER to dry. RAM-PRIMER goes down milky and dries clear. Do not apply material until RAMPRIMER has dried. Material should be applied within 24 hours. RAM-PRIMER can provide a bond over cutback. Remove as much of cutback as possible, leaving only a thin residue firmly bonded to concrete. Remember, your bond will only be as good as the bond of the cutback to the concrete. Coat the surface with a thin uniform amount of ACRYLIC Emulsion. Let this coat dry completely, then prime with RAM-PRIMER without dilution with water. Let the RAM-PRIMER dry and install topping. RAM-PRIMER may be diluted with clean water at a rate of 1 part water to 2 parts RAM-PRIMER for use on porous surfaces. On wood surfaces, do not dilute RAM-PRIMER. NEVER DILUTE RAM-PRIMER WHEN USED AS SURFACE BONDER FOR WEARING SURFACE TOPPING.
a tenacious, permanent bond. Compatibility of RAMPRIMER with other manufacturer products is not known and any application should follow both manufacturer instructions. Always do a test section before proceeding with the job. For non-porous surfaces or those with concerns on bonding, consider using an EPOXY PRIMER.
APPLICATION-INTEGRAL CEMENT MODIFIER When using RAM-PRIMER as an integral polymer modifier with cement and sand to make concrete repairs, add 1 gallon of RAM-PRIMER per 30 lbs. of cement or 3 gallons per bag of cement. Results obtained will depend on mix design and application. Normally, you should use 2-1/2 parts sand to 1 part cement. Seal and cure to prevent rapid drying. Always do a test section before proceeding. Will not re-wet when used as an integral modifier.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-UP Clean tools with detergent and warm water immediately after use. Remove all drips or spray immediately. Clean up any mortar modified with RAM-PRIMER immediately. If RAM-PRIMER or mortar modified with RAM-PRIMER is permitted to dry, mechanical abrasion will probably be needed to remove it.
PRECAUTIONS DO NOT LET FREEZE. DO NOT apply if temperature is below 50oF. DO NOT overwork mortars modified with RAM-PRIMER. As a surface bonder, DO NOT apply material until RAM-PRIMER has dried. Always make a trial installation first. Use only water based sealers or cures.
