ELASTO-QOTE® EP PRIMER Application Instruction: Surface Preparation Concrete Product Information
General
Product description: Elasto-Qote® EP PRIMER is a solvent-free surface tolerant penetrating primer for steel and concrete substrates. Product is used as adhesion promoter on dry and damp concrete, as anti-outgassing primer on porous concrete and as a moisture and water vapour barrier on green concrete to reduce shrinkage damage during the concrete cure. Features: 100% Solids Epoxy No VOC User friendly 2:1 mixing ratio Non-blushing product Excellent adhesion on carbon-and stainless steel Excellent adhesion on dry and damp concrete, mineral plaster and render Can be used as primer on concrete with <8% residual moisture Low viscosity product for good substrate penetration and fixation Service temperature (dry) from -40 up to 150°C (-40 up to 302˚F) Can be applied from 5 up to 35˚C (41 up to 95˚F)
Preventing condensation on the substrate Recommended Surface Profile Abrasive Blasting
SSPC-SP13/NACE 6
Application Safety General
Application examples Application: moisture tolerant primer underneath Elasto-Qote® elastomeric systems and as universal penetrating primer for epoxy systems on steel and concrete substrates.
Concrete must be cured to at least a maximum residual moisture content of 8%. The area to be coated has to be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and dust. All contamination that could interfere with the adhesion of the coating has to be removed according to SSPC-SP1 or equal. Leaks and water infiltrations must be eliminated. Remove free-standing water, repair excessive cracks and resurface exposed aggregate and small voids with a suitable high-strength, fast curing, non-shrinking product. Consult Concrete Application Guide. Prior and during the surface preparation, the temperature of the substrate(s) must be at least 5˚F (3˚C) above the dew point. CSP 4-6. Do not overblast the concrete.
Read the Product Data Sheet and follow the caution statements on the Material Safety Data Sheet. Personnel who will come into contact with the product should be using appropriate protection equipment. Follow national safety guidelines

Note
Mix the Part A and B until uniform in colour and consistency. Mix Part A and B together for an additional 2-3 minutes. Do not dilute the product. After mixing, apply the product by using a flat squeegee or a good quality paint roller. Apply in one uniform layer to thoroughly wet and seal the substrate. Although application by squeegee and roller is preferred, the product can be sprayed by Airless equipment. Consult Elasto-Qote® for specific information. Elasto-Qote® EP PRIMER must be tack-free before topcoating with any of our Elasto-Qote® Polyurethane, Polyurea or PU/Hybrid elastomers.

Repair
The finished coating must be visually inspected for any defects, such as runs and sags, fisheyes, blistering, pinholes, missed spots and possible contaminants. Pinhole/Holiday detection must be generated according to NACE SP0188 (for steel substrates only). The coating thickness (DFT) must be within the specified DFT range. Use calibrated equipment and measure according to SSPC-PA 2 or other specified standard. Pinholes/Holidays must be located and repaired with approved material. Consult Powercrete® for specific information.
