Kelmore PrimeMore Universal Primer extended information
What is the coverage of Kelmore PrimeMore Universal Primer?
The coverage will vary dependent on the texture and porosity of the background. As a guide, 1 litre of Kelmore PrimeMore Universal when diluted with clean water at a 1:3 ratio will cover approximately 30m2 to 44m?.
Technical Summary:
Pack Sizes | 1 litre 5 litres |
Colour | Blue |
Dilution Ratio (by volume) | 1:3 (1 part PrimeMore Universal to 3 parts clean water) |
Application Temperature (air and background) | ≥ 5°C |
Drying Time (@20°C) | Approximately 30 minutes |
Coverage per litre (diluted 1:3) | Approximately 30m² – 44m² |
What are the suitable backgrounds?
Cement:Sand Render | Cement:Sand Screed (inc. Heated) | Concrete | Concrete Blockwork |
Plaster (Finish Coat) | Plasterboard | Plywood Overlay (Class 3) | Tile Backer Boards |
Prime these backgrounds with one coat of Kelmore PrimeMore Universal diluted 1:3 by volume with clean, cold water. Depending on the porosity of the background, additional coats may be required. All priming coats must be allowed to dry before applying additional coats, and before applying tile adhesive or levelling and smoothing compounds. |
How to prepare backgrounds and surfaces?
Backgrounds must be sufficiently dry and strong enough to carry the total weight being applied. All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from contaminants that could inhibit adhesion, such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, laitance, and curing agents. Timber bases must be adequately ventilated and able to carry the additional static and dynamic load without deflection. Moisture sensitive backgrounds in wet locations will need protecting using Kelmore’s waterproofing systems.
Mixing
Kelmore PrimeMore Universal will require diluting 1:3 by volume with clean, cold water. Add 1 part Kelmore PrimeMore Universal to 3 parts water and mix thoroughly.
How to Apply Kelmore PrimeMore Universal primer?
Apply the primer uniformly to the prepared background using a paint roller, sponge or brush. Do not over apply, and on textured backgrounds ensure the product does not pool in surface depressions. Depending on the porosity of the background, additional diluted coats may be required.
Drying times will vary dependent on the site temperatures (air and background) and the porosity of the background.
When applied at 20°C, Kelmore PrimeMore Universal will dry in approximately 30 minutes.
All priming coats must be allowed to dry before applying additional coats, and before applying tile adhesive or levelling and smoothing compounds.
