Vetotop DecoFloor Primer

The substrate must be clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, existing coatings, and surface treatments. Remove all dust, loose, and friable materials thoroughly before application, preferably by vacuum. Suitable preparation methods include light grit blasting, surface grinding, or similar techniques to achieve a sound, rough surface profile. 

Any spalled, fractured or defected asphalt and concrete surface must be repaired to allow Vetotop DecoFloor Primer to bond effectively to sound, monolithic surfaces. Use an epoxy mortar from the Vetorep ER range to repair all necessary areas before applying. 

New concrete surfaces must have a minimum compressive strength of 25 N/mm2 and a pull-off strength of at least 1.5 N/mm2. Concrete must be at least 28 days old and have a moisture content of ≤5-6% before application.

Vetotop DecoFloor Primer must be mixed using a low-speed electric mixer (300–400 rpm) equipped with a suitable mixing paddle. Before mixing, stir Part A (Resin) thoroughly using a mechanical stirrer to ensure uniformity. Slowly add the entire quantity of Part B (Hardener) into Part A and continue mixing for approximately 3 minutes until a homogeneous blend is achieved. 

To ensure complete and even dispersion, transfer the mixed material into a clean container and re-mix briefly. Avoid overmixing, as it can lead to air entrapment and negatively affect the final finish.

Vetotop DecoFloor Primer should be applied directly onto the prepared substrate using a brush, roller, or airless spray equipment. It is essential to apply the product in a uniform, thin layer to promote optimal adhesion and avoid excessive build-up or pooling, particularly in low spots or uneven areas. Care must be taken to work the primer well into the surface, especially on rough or porous substrates, to ensure full penetration and sealing. 

Once applied, the primer must be left to dry until it reaches a tack-free condition before proceeding with the application of any subsequent layers within the DecoFloor Granite system.

The overcoating interval may vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity conditions, but under normal circumstances, it is recommended to wait between 8 to 12 hours at 23°C. Application should always be done in controlled conditions, avoiding exposure to dust, moisture, or direct sunlight during the curing process.

Full curing is achieved after 24 hours. Curing times may vary depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and substrate condition.

All tools should be cleaned with Vetonit Solvent XX400 immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
