SIKA Eco Prep n Prime | WPD Group

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME  is a unique flexible water based primer specifically designed with advanced adhesion properties for use on existing tiles, smooth and non porous surfaces, including puddle flanges and pipe penetrations.

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME enables the ability to tile over difficult, non porous surfaces without the need for mechanical surface preparation. Fast drying formulation allows for installation of tiles 1 hour after application. • No Mixing - single component. • No wastage. • Low VOC • Non flammable and non hazardous • Internal/ External applications • Easy application with brush or roller • Dries to a keyed finish • Excellent alternative to mechanical grinding and acid etching surfaces

Usage

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME is suitable for the priming of non porous substrates and difficult to adhere to substrates prior to the application of Ceramic tile, Porcelain, Stone and other Sika coatings. ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME is designed to bond to PVC pipe penetrations & puddle flanges, and metal floor drains / wastes. ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME can be used both internally and externally.

Substrates

ECO SYSTEMS® PREP "N" PRIME can be used over the following substrates:

  • Priming of pipe penetrations, puddle flanges and drain grates manufactured from zincalume, stainless steel, copper, brass and metals
  • Priming over glazed tiles (glossy tiles require mechanical preparation prior)
  • Priming over vinyl tiles (non cushion backed) and laminates (dry areas only)
  • Priming over PVC puddle flanges
  • Priming of Sikatite Moisture Seal Vapour Barrier
  • Priming of general non-porous and shiny surfaces* (dry areas only)

*conduct bond test prior to tiling application

Substrate Temperature

Min 5°C to Max 35°C

Waiting Time / Overcoating

Application

Wait Time

Primer over existing tiles 40 mins - 1 Hour
Priming prior to waterproofing 3 - 5 hours
Primer over non porous substrates and puddle flanges 1hr +

* Values determined at laboratory conditions: 23°C & 50% RH. Site conditions will vary wait times.

Higher temperatures with reduce times and cool temperatures with extend times.

High Humidity will slow drying of primer.

Consumption

8-10m2 per litre depending on surface porosity and finish
