EWI-301 Water Based Substrate Primer

Product Overview
Water Based Substrate Primer is an essential preparatory primer used before installing EWI or render-only systems. It dries completely colourless and works by limiting the amount of water absorbed by the substrate from the adhesive, helping to ensure smooth, effective application. By improving adhesion, it supports a dependable and durable final finish.
Intended Uses
Water Based Substrate Primer is designed for priming a wide range of absorptive substrates, including ordinary and cellular concrete (such as aerated concrete), brickwork, blockwork, structural clay tiles, plaster coats, gypsum panels and gypsum plasterboards. It is applied before paints, adhesives, cement or cement and lime-based plaster coats, skim finishes, ceramic tiling, floor screeds and wallpaper.
