TEKNOFLOOR PRIMER 310F is a solvent-free, two-pack epoxy varnish.
TEKNOFLOOR PRIMER 310F is used as a primer under epoxy coatings and flooring screeds. By adding sand it can be used for repairing concrete floors and rounding off corners. Sunlight will yellow the varnish and therefore it is not recommended to use as a topcoat. TEKNOFLOOR PRIMER 310F hardens fast. The diluted varnish will penetrate into concrete's pores sealing it thus ensuring of the adhesion of the coating and screed onto substrate. It is also suitable for use for making so called levelling screed. An alternate hardener, TEKNOFLOOR PRIMER HARDENER 310H-01, is obtainable for the product in order to improve availability.

Surface preparation
NEW CONCRETE SURFACES: The concrete must be at least 4 weeks old and well-hardened so that all moisture from casting is bound and the surface dry. The moisture of the concrete must not exceed 97% as relative humidity or 4% by weight (by 54 / BLY 12).
Dense laitance is to be removed from steel-trowelled concrete by shot-blasting or surface grinding. Brittle and powdery top layers are treated so that the solid concrete containing aggregate is exposed. Thereafter all cement dust is removed by vacuum cleaner or brush. The concrete surface must be clean of anything that might hinder the adhesion.
OLD CONCRETE SURFACES: Uncoated, greasy floors are cleaned by emulsion wash. Thereafter laitance is removed by shot-blasting, scarifying, surface grinding or etching. Scarifying and shot-blasting are the best methods for removal of disrepair concrete or old flaking paint or composition layers.
The surface preparation method for both new and old concrete is chosen according to condition of the concrete and strain the floor will be exposed to. The best method for floors to be attacked by heavy abrasion, chemicals or hot water is scarifying or shot-blasting. Surface grinding is enough if the floor will be subjected to minor abrasion only. In general, surface preparation by etching is not recommended for composition floors within industry. Etching is mainly used for small areas when mechanical preparation methods are not applicable.
Etching is to be done with RENSA ETCHING etching liquid. Rinse the floor with water after etching and allow to dry.
All special jobs should be done before the application of the actual priming. E.g. cutting grooves at joints between steel and concrete. Cutting working and expansion joints open. Fitting up skirting and rounding of corners. Filling cavities and cervices, and possible levelling down the floor. Filling can be done with TEKNOPOX FILL or with stiff putty prepared by adding an adequate amount of dry sand (e.g. 0.1 - 0.6 mm) to undiluted varnish.
Application
The coating can be applied when the priming coat has dried for at least 4 h (+23°C). Avoid intervals longer than 24 hours. If the priming coat has been applied more than 24 h ago the surface must be rubbed down and cleaned before it is overcoated.
TEKNOFLOOR PRIMER 310F is suitable for making so called levelling screed. The levelling screed is made as follows: into 9 l of mixture is added 8 - 10 l of 0.1 - 0.6 mm dry natural sand and stirred with a drilling machine. The levelling screed can be used for smoothing down uneven marks left by e.g. cutter. The levelling screed is applied by steel trowel. THE LEVELLING SCREED IS NOT TO BE DILUTED!
Application conditions
During the application and drying period the temperature of the ambient air, the surface and the product shall be above +10°C and the relative air humidity below 80%. Additionally, the temperature of the surface to be treated and the product must be at least +3°C above the dew point of the ambient air.
Storage
The storage stability is shown on the label. Must be stored tightly closed and kept cool.
