Instruction Manual
LAYING RANGE/Preparation of the substrates
Primer A Eco
Certified, eco-friendly, water-based surface isolation for dry, absorbent
mineral/cement/gypsum or anhydrite-based substrates, ideal for use in
GreenBuilding. Single-component, solvent-free and with very low volatile
organic compound emissions. Safeguards the health of both operators and the
environment.
Primer A Eco develops an isolating, cohesive film that neutralizes the
expansive chemical reaction of gypsum- or anhydrite-based substrates in
contact with mineral mortars and adhesives. Reduces and regulates the
absorption of highly porous substrates.
GREEN BUILDING RATING® PRODUCT STRENGTHS
- Solvent-free
- Efficient dust-proof action
- Extends the workability of mineral adhesives and levelling products
- Suitable for underfloor heating systems
AREAS OF USE
Use Creation of a suitable barrier to neutralize the expansive chemical
reaction of gypsum and anhydrite-based substrates before laying ceramic tiles
with mineral or cement-based adhesives and/or correction of absorption of
highly porous substrates.
Materials:
– gel adhesives, mineral adhesives, dispersed organic mineral adhesives
– cement-based and dispersed adhesives
– mineral finishing, levelling and self-levelling products
– cement or gypsum-based finishing and levelling products and plasters
Substrates:
– gypsum and cement-based plasters
– mineral screen
– anhydrite and cement-based screeds
– gypsum brick and plasterboard panels
– high-density chipboard, cellular concrete
– prefabricated concrete and fresh concrete castings
On internal floors and walls, even in areas which are damp, on external walls.
Do not use
On external flooring as a waterproofing product for metallic, unstable wood
and wet substrates or those subject to moisture rising.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Preparation of substrates
Substrates must be compact, smooth and absorbent, free from dust, oil and
grease, free from moisture rising, with no loose and inconsistent debris.
Varnishes and paints must be removed completely. The substrate must be stable,
non-deformable and with no cracks. Plasters with a gypsum base must present a
residual humidity 1% and screeds with an anhydrite base of 0.5%, both of which
should be measured with a carbide hygrometer.
Preparation Primer
An Eco is ready-to-use and can be applied to walls and floors as a surface
isolation product to neutralize the expansive chemical reaction of gypsum or
anhydrite-based plasters and screeds in contact with cement-based products.
Shake the can well before opening in order to redisperse the liquid evenly.
For compact, low-absorption substrates of any kind, apply two coats of Primer
A Eco diluted 1: 1
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
with water to guarantee the best possible penetration. Dilute Primer A Eco
with clean water up to a 1:3 ratio to reduce and regulate the absorption of
water or suppress dust in highly porous substrates to improve the penetration
of the priming coat in the substrate. Prepare in a bucket the quantity of
water required for dilution, then add Primer A Eco according to the indicated
ratio. Mix briefly before use.
Application
Apply a fine, uniform film, preferably using a short bristle, synthetic fibre
roller or brush. Apply a second coat crisscrossing the direction of the first.
The distinct green colouring of Primer A Eco allows the user to check whether
the application is complete and uniform. Apply several coats to more porous
substrates, waiting until the previous coat has dried completely before
proceeding with the next. Do not pour the product straight onto the floor; do
not allow the stagnant Primer A Eco to build a surface film on the floor.
Cleaning Primer
An Eco can be removed from tools and other surfaces by washing them with water
before the product hardens.
SPECIAL NOTES
After applying Primer A Eco and before laying the surface covering, check if the moisture content of the substrate is suitable for the type of coverage selected. Applying Primer A Eco to absorbent substrates improves the workability of finishing and levelling products and is a necessity when applying self-levelling products, especially when these are of reduced thickness.
ABSTRACT
Certified preparation of gypsum or anhydrite-based substrates before laying mineral or cement-based adhesives, mineral or cement-based finishing, levelling or self-levelling products, with eco-friendly, single-component, water-based surface isolation with GreenBuilding Rating® Eco 5, such as Primer A Eco by Kerakoll Spa. Apply with a roller or brush for an average coverage of 0.15 0.25 kg/m2. The substrate must be perfectly clean, dry and free from moisture rising.

WARNING
– Product for professional use
– abide by any standards and national regulations
– do not apply on roughened substrates or substrates which require heavy
thicknesses of product
– make sure the substrate is perfectly clean, dry and compact
– If the product has been washed away or removed mechanically, it will have to
be replaced by a further application
– check substrate adhesion before overlaying – do not use it as a
waterproofing product
– use a calcium carbide hygrometer to measure and ensure that the humidity of
the gypsum is 1% and of the anhydrite 0.5% at the moment of laying.
