PRODUCT DATA SHEET

SikaLevel® Primer

Concrete primer for use with SikaLevel Self Leveling Underlayment

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SikaLevel® Primer is a one-part, water-dispersed and

solvent-free, acrylic-based solution use to prime and

seal floor surfaces prior to the application of SikaLevel

Underlayment.

USES

Use as a primer/sealer for absorbent substrates

including concrete and cement screeds

▪

Particularly suitable as an adhesion promoter and

surface sealer beneath SikaLevel

▪

Underlayment enhancing the bond and integrity of the

underlayment when applied onto porous substrates

▪

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES

Ready to use, no dilution required.▪

Water-based and solvent-free.▪

Penetrates substrate to reduce outgassing and

formation of bubbles in the underlayment.

▪

Prevents water loss from the underlayment into the

substrate.

▪

Quick-drying and fast film formation to increase

productivity.

▪

Achieves excellent bond values throughout the

recommended range of application temperatures.

▪

Effectively seals concrete surfaces in a single, economic

operation.

LIMITATIONS LEGAL DISCLAIMER ▪ For interior use only. Primer developed for SikaLevel Underlayment. ▪ Condition material between 65 °F to 75 °F (18 to 24°C) before using. ▪ Do not apply to substrates at temperatures below 50 °F (10 °C) as this will slow the drying and effectiveness of the primer. ▪ Do not apply where the relative humidity of the substrate exceeds 75 % as this will limit the efficiency of the primer.
