Key Features:
Ready-to-Use, Single-Coat Application: PrimeMore Grip is a pre-mixed primer that requires no dilution, making it easy to use straight out of the container. One coat is typically sufficient, saving time and ensuring efficient coverage.
Textured, Keyed Surface: The primer dries with a textured finish that creates a keyed surface, improving the bond with adhesives, levelling compounds, and smoothing products. This results in a stronger and more durable installation, reducing the risk of material failure.
Wide Application Range: Kelmore PrimeMore Grip is versatile, designed to be applied to a range of non-porous surfaces, including:
Existing ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles
Metal surfaces (such as steel or aluminium)
Vinyl flooring
Epoxy damp-proof membranes (DPM)
Asphalt (flooring grade)
Whether youre working on walls or floors, this primer provides excellent adhesion in both residential and commercial projects.
Pigmented for Easy Application: To help ensure total and uniform coverage, PrimeMore Grip is pigmented green, making it easy to see where the product has been applied. This reduces the chances of missing any areas during the application process.
Quick Drying Time: Designed for efficiency, the primer dries in approximately 45 minutes when applied at 20°C, allowing you to move forward with your project without long waiting times.
High Coverage Rate: Each litre of Kelmore PrimeMore Grip covers approximately 12.5m², making it an economical choice for smaller projects or touch-ups.
Applications:
Kelmore PrimeMore Grip Primer is ideal for preparing non-porous substrates where strong adhesion is critical. It works effectively with both wall and floor installations, creating a reliable base for adhesives, levelling compounds, and smoothing products. Suitable substrates include:
Existing tiled surfaces Ensure that existing tiles are securely bonded to a solid background capable of supporting the additional load.
Vinyl flooring Prepares the surface for subsequent tile installation or levelling compounds.
Metal substrates Provides a good key for adhesives on steel or other metal surfaces.
Epoxy damp-proof membranes (DPM) Enhances adhesion of levelling compounds or tiling materials.
Asphalt (flooring grade) Ensures proper adhesion when tiling over asphalt surfaces.
Installation Instructions:
Surface Preparation: Prior to application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, and loose debris. For existing tiled surfaces, ensure that the tiles are securely bonded and the substrate is capable of supporting additional weight.
Application:
Shake the container well before use to ensure product consistency.
Apply a thin, even coat of PrimeMore Grip to the prepared surface using a paint roller or brush. Be careful not to over-apply, as this can lead to skin formation.
For best results, apply the primer in a criss-cross pattern to ensure uniform coverage across the entire surface. The green tint will help you identify any missed areas.
Allow the primer to dry for approximately 45 minutes at 20°C, although drying times may vary depending on site conditions.
Post-Application: Once the primer is dry, you can proceed with applying tile adhesive, levelling compound, or smoothing products. Ensure the primed surface remains clean and free from traffic to avoid any damage to the coating before the next layer is applied.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use to prevent the product from drying on them. Once dried, removal may require mechanical cleaning methods.
Health and Safety: For detailed safety guidance, please consult the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS), available on the Kelmore website. Use PrimeMore Grip in a well-ventilated area and take care to follow all health and safety regulations.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store Kelmore PrimeMore Grip in its original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from frost and direct sunlight. When stored correctly, the product has a shelf life of up to 12 months.
