Solvent-free epoxy impregnation primer for concrete and other porous, mineral surfaces.
DESCRIPTION Solvent-free epoxy impregnation primer for concrete and other porous, mineral surfaces.
RECOMMENDED USE Impregnation Primer 5401 is designed for application on concrete and masonry and is primarily intended for roller and brush application. Provides a good key for adhesion on porous, mineral substrates prior to the application of several RUST-OLEUM Systems like; 9100, 5500, Pegakote, 9400 and can also be used as a tack-coat for 5180 Epoxy Repair Mortar.

THEORETICAL CONSUMPTION 10 m²/l
PRACTICAL CONSUMPTION Practical coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application.
SURFACE PREPARATION Newconcrete should cure and dry for at least 30 days prior to the application of the product. Remove oil, grease and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure- (steam)cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. Remove all laitance, loose or unsound concrete by vacuum-blasting or etching with Surfa-Etch 108 Etching Solution. Remove concrete curing compounds completely. Large surfaces should preferably be prepared by abrasive blasting (vacuum blasting) or flame cleaning. Profile maximum 0.5mm. Defects in the concrete should be repaired with 5180 Epoxy Repair Mortar. Small (hair) cracks and air-pockets should be repaired with Epoxy Putty 5412. The surface should be clean and dry during application.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir individual components thoroughly before mixing them together. Use a lowspeed mixer in combination with the boxing method.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS Temperature of air and substrate between 10 and 35°C and relative humidity below85%. The substrate temperature must be at least 3°C above dewpoint.
APPLICATION & THINNING: BRUSH Use natural bristles, longhair brushes. Thinning: Absorbent mineral substrates like concrete: Very porous: up to 20% with RUST-OLEUM 160 Thinner. Normal porosity: 10% up to 30% with RUST-OLEUM 160 Thinner. Power floated (slightly porous): 20% up to 40% with RUSTOLEUM 160 Thinner.
APPLICATION & THINNING: ROLLER Use medium nap, 12 mm, polyester rollers. For textured surfaces use long nap 14-18 mm rollers. Thinning: Absorbent mineral substrates like concrete: Very porous: up to 20% with RUST-OLEUM 160 Thinner. Normal porosity: 10% up to 30% with RUST-OLEUM 160 Thinner. Power floated (slightly porous): 20% up to 40% with RUST-OLEUM 160 Thinner.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT / SPILLS Use RUST-OLEUM Thinner 160.
REMARKS Food should be stored separately or covered adequately during application of the Impregnation Primer 5401. The compression strength of the concrete should be minimum 25 N/mm², the tensile strength minimum 1.5 N/mm².
