WHERE TO USE
Application on concrete slabs and screeds with high moisture and high pH before the installation of floorings sensitive to humidity such as wood, rubber or vinyl. Primer MF can be applied to substrates with moisture up to 6% CM (measured with Carbide hygrometer - UNI 10329) or relative moisture up to 100% RH (measured with in situ probe test - ASTM F2170 - BS 8203). Application to consolidate inconsistent and/or weak substrates. Some application examples
• Application, prior the laying of flooring sensitive to moisture, to stop moisture related problems of concrete or cementitious screeds.
• Consolidation of weak cementitious substrates.
• Dustproof treatement over inconsistent cementitious or dried gypsum-based underlayments. • Binder for mixing with quartz to realize synthetic mortar for small smoothing and repair operations.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Primer MF is a two-component product, 100% solid epoxy resin, solvent free, with low viscosity and high penetration capability in the pores of the substrates. Because of the total absence of solvents Primer MF is not flammable and has a light odor, typical of resin based products, therefore it can be used in building sites situated near inhabited environments (e.g. apartments, schools, offices, ecc.). After the application and the polymerization of the resins the permeability of the substrate is strongly reduced and, in the meantime, it became sound, stronger and more resistant to abrasion.
RECOMMENDATION
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Preparing the substrate The substrate must be clean, sound, free of oil, wax, dirt or any other contaminant that can compromise the adhesion. The substrate must be cured, not subject to hygrometric shrinkage. Concrete must have reached a minimum tensile strength of 1.05 MPa. All cement laitance, such as anti-evaporating agents, on surface must be completely removed with a mechanical abrasion. For direct application without mechanical profiling, the surface must be porous, concrete surface profile (CSP) of #2 to #3, and be in pristine condition with no contamination present. If these conditions are not present before the application of Primer MF the surface must be mechanically profiled using dustless, engineer-approved methods to obtain a CSP of #2 to #3. Cracks and surface crazing must be opened and then sealed with Eporip or Eporip Turbo to eliminate unevenness. MAPEI cannot be responsible against the appearance of cracks or debonding that result from subsequent substrate movement of any kind. The product can be applied as moisture barrier to cementitious substrates with no standing water on the surface and with humidity up to 6% CM or 100% R.H. Please not that high level of humidity (above 6% CM or 98% RH) could be determined by external water infiltration due, for example, to an incorrect design of the drainage, of the waterproofing or sealing, to leaks, broken pipes, etc. Before proceeding to the application of Primer MF it is then necessary to verify the absence of such type of situations. Preparing the product The two components of Primer MF are supplied pre-measured: component A: 3 parts by weight; component B: 1 part by weight. The components must be mixed together with a low speed mixer until a uniform mix is obtained.
Application of the product
COVERAGE

SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Primer MF components A and B may cause sensitization if they come in contact with the skin of those predisposed. Primer MF component A is irritant for the eyes and skin. Component B is corrosive and may cause burns. The product contains low molecular weight epoxy resins that may cause sensitisation if cross-contamination occurs with other epoxy compounds. When applying the product use protective gloves and goggles and take the usual precautions for handling chemicals. If the product comes in contact with the eyes or skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. When the product reacts it generates considerable heat. After mixing components A and B we recommend applying the product as soon as possible and to never leave the container unguarded until it is completely empty. Primer MF components A and B are also hazardous for aquatic life. Do not dispose of these products in the environment.
