Primers for Self-Leveling

Primer CE


Ultra Low-Viscosity, Consolidating Epoxy Primer

Primer CE  is an ultra low-viscosity, two-component, 100%-solids surface-consolidating epoxy primer.  Primer CE  effectively penetrates and consolidates the surface of weak concrete or gypsum substrates. Applied in a single-coat application,  Primer CE  is designed to restore structural integrity to friable substrates such as weak gypsum-based underlayments or lightweight concretes before the application of underlayments, toppings or floor finishes. Once installed,  Primer CE  is compatible with a wide number of primers and adhesives typically used with flooring installations, such as with tile, vinyl composition tile (VCT), carpet, sheet vinyl, wood and other floor finishing products.


Primer E


High-Performance, 100%-Solids Epoxy Primer

Primer E  is a two-component, 100%-solids epoxy primer and bonding agent designed for use with MAPEI self-leveling underlayments and toppings.  Primer E  is the most effective method for bonding to nonporous, dense substrates before installing self-leveling underlayments or toppings subject to high stress.  Primer E  is highly recommended for all installations of decorative toppings (such as  Ultratop  ® ), which demand the highest degree of crack resistance and surface finish.  Primer E  low viscosity makes installation fast and easy, and provides excellent penetration into the substrate and therefore tenacious bond.

When utilizing  Primer E  as a bonding agent, always employ the sand broadcast method prescribed below.


Primer L


Advanced-Technology Acrylic Latex Primer for Concrete


Primer L (formerly Ultraprime L) is a concentrated, solvent-free acrylic primer used prior to the installation of underlayments and topping materials. It is green for easy identification. It improves the bond between a properly prepared and profiled concrete substrate, and self-leveling underlayment or topping materials.

This product is solvent-free.


Primer T


All-Purpose Primer for Self-Leveling Underlayments


Primer T  is a low-VOC, water-based acrylic primer that enhances the performance and adhesion of self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) on nonabsorbent surfaces such as ceramic tile, vinyl composition tile (VCT) and adhesive residue, as well as profiled, absorbent surfaces. Suitable for a wide variety of substrates,  Primer T  combines excellent versatility with an easy, low-odor application


Primer WE


Water-Based Epoxy Primer


Primer WE  (formerly Ultraprime WE) is a two-component, polymer-modified, solvent-free water-based epoxy primer for enhanced adhesion to nonporous substrates prior to the application of MAPEI self-leveling materials. When mixed, Primer WE is purple for easy identification. It improves adhesion over smooth, nonabsorbent and difficult-to-bond-to substrates such as properly prepared ceramic tile, cement-based terrazzo, old cutback adhesive residue and approved plywood subfloors.


This product is solvent-free.
