Primer concrete-contact "miners": properties and application
Concrete is a compound used in construction to prepare walls or ceilings for subsequent plastering. There are many such soil mixtures on the market. One of the leading manufacturers recognized concrete contact brand "miners". With it, you can create a reliable and solid foundation for further finishing work.
Scope of application
Primer concrete contact is designed for both interior and exterior. For street work it is advisable to use a universal composition. It is used for processing of the bases which are badly absorbing moisture. Its main function is to increase the adhesion of surfaces. For example, any finishing materials badly “stick” to the untreated concrete slabs.
If you do not prepare the base using a primer, the plaster will soon peel off, which will have to make a new repair.
Covering the foundation with concrete contact is a guarantee of high-quality and durable finish. The composition is allowed to impregnate surfaces made of:
- bricks;
- concrete;
- drywall;
- foam concrete;
- aerated concrete.
Also, concrete contact can handle old tile coatings. However, the use of such a soil composition is not limited to the preparation of the surface for plaster. It is used in the construction of a concrete screed, arranging a self-leveling floor.
Special features
Betonokontakt of the "Stapleers" trademark is made of copolymer acrylic dispersion, sand, water and various additives. The composition goes on sale in plastic buckets weighing 3.5 and 20 kg. The products have excellent technical characteristics.
Primer consumption per m2 is from 0.2 to 0.3 kg. On this basis, 20 liters of the composition will be enough for surface treatment of at least 50 m2.
Betonokontakt "Miners" is completely ready to use. Before work, it does not need to be diluted with water. The only manipulation is the thorough mixing of the composition using a construction mixer. The solution should not be applied to the frozen base.The composition can be operated at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C, but not less than 5 ° C.
The composition is allowed to use for almost all types of premises. (even for those where permanent wet cleaning is expected).
Exceptions are surfaces that come in contact with food and drinking water. There primer concrete contact is not suitable for use.
Benefits
Betonokontakt "Miners" has many advantages. The main ones include the following:
- Ecological purity. The building material does not contain impurities harmful to human health, thanks to which they can safely treat surfaces in bedrooms and children's rooms.
- Resistance to fire. The advantages also include the absence of harmful secretions when heated.
- Lack of smell.
- Resistance to fungus and mold growth. The composition contains antiseptic additives that effectively protect the treated bases and finish from biological lesions. Thanks to this feature, the building material can be used for repairs in rooms with high humidity.
- Providing excellent adhesion.When applying the solution on the surface a rough layer is formed, due to which there is a reliable adhesion of the working surface with the used finishing materials.
- Convenience in work. The building mass does not need breeding.
- Fast drying time due to increased viscosity of the primer. On average, for complete drying it will take 2-3 hours (at a temperature of 15-20 ° C).
- Economical consumption.
- The ability to withstand up to 5 cycles of freezing and defrosting without loss of consumer properties and deterioration of technical parameters.
Due to the latex contained in the composition, the ground mass of the concrete contact does not stratify, and sand particles do not settle. Due to this feature, the composition is evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of the base. Betonokontakt "Miners" - one of the best samples of the primer in the construction market.
How to use?
Before you apply concrete contact on the base, its surface must be carefully prepared. For this you need:
- clean the working base of the remnants of the old finish and flaky layers;
- remove dirt, grease stains;
- get rid of the dust.
After all the preparatory manipulations, you must wait until the wall or ceiling is completely dry. Do not neglect the preparation. From its quality will depend on the ease of application of the material and its durability.
Primer can be applied to the dried surface. The base is processed with a brush (transverse size - not less than 10 cm) or with a 25 cm paint roller. Also allowed to use the spray gun. It is recommended to carry out the work in protective gloves.
For surface treatment, you should completely soak the brush or roller in the primer, then apply it to the substrate.
It is important to ensure that the solution is applied in a thin layer, as well as to ensure that there are no gaps or flows.
If necessary, it is possible to apply a primer in 2 layers. However, when re-processing it is necessary to make sure that the first layer is completely dry. Upon completion of the work, the entire construction tool should be rinsed with water.
