Water-Based Adhesion Promoter for Eco-Tech Coatings
Grip Primer is a sophisticated one-component, water-based resin primer, enhanced with adhesion-promoting mineral fillers. Designed for versatility, it excels in preparing a wide range of surfaces for waterproofing and coating applications. This primer is particularly effective on smooth and porous concrete, ceramic tiles, metal, glass, and plastic. It can also adeptly handle surfaces previously coated with non-absorbent paint, oil-based paint, or varnish. Notably breathable, Grip Primer is an excellent choice for use under liquid waterproofing materials and coatings, such as Decork thermal cork paints and Decorkrete mineral microcement coatings, ensuring strong adhesion and enhanced durability of the final finish.
