Mixing and Application
Primer SN is supplied as two separate components. Mix Component A and Component B in the correct 80:20 ratio by weight until a uniform mixture is obtained.
Apply to a suitably prepared substrate using a flat American trowel or smooth trowel. The substrate must be properly prepared and free from loose material and contamination that could affect adhesion.
Only mix the quantity that can be applied within the product's approximately 30-minute pot life. Temperature and site conditions can affect working and curing times.
Where a particular flooring system requires a mechanical key, follow the relevant Mapei system instructions regarding quartz sand broadcasting and subsequent application layers.
Important Application Information
- Use only on substrates and within flooring systems approved by Mapei.
- Follow the specified mixing ratio of 80:20 by weight.
- Do not use material beyond its working time.
- Observe the required waiting times before applying subsequent layers.
- Check the relevant flooring system technical documentation for overcoating and preparation requirements.
