PRIMED AND READY TO GO
Priming is recommended to promote the adhesion of smoothing
compounds over absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces. Priming,
in relation to adhesives, helps to prevent the applied coat weight of
water-based adhesive being reduced, due to the high absorbency of
substrates such as plywood, concrete and screeds.
Priming can help to prevent ‘pinholing’. These are small holes in the smoothing compound that
have the appearance of pinholes or blisters, caused by the slow escape of air from absorbent
surfaces as the smoothing compound dries.
If an adhesive or compound dries too quickly they may not achieve the desired bond strength
required. Priming also aids workability of the compound to maximise product flow and
working time.
Make sure you’re primed and ready
with F. Ball’s System LVT range.
