PRIMERS
TIEF PRIMER-H




APPLICATION:
A product specially formulated for primary coating various porous and adsorbent surfaces. It has high penetration and strengthening properties, and provides good humidity protection. It can be used on various mineral surfaces, such as: cement and lime cement plasters, cement sheets, concrete, aerated concrete, natural stone, fences, foundations. It is waterproof and does not change the structure or look of the above materials.
TIEF PRIMER-H can also be used under paint, acrylic and mineral plaster, plasterboards, glue paint, joint less floors, self-levelling floors, tiles, etc.
Note:
Do not use active primer when a bonding primer is required
Priming surfaces that are too "fresh", unseasoned plaster or other surfaces (with unbalanced air/surface humidity) are liable to "burn-outs".

PREPARING SURFACES & USAGE:
Surfaces should be clean and free of dirt and grease. With very absorptive surfaces and thick layers requiring strengthening the best priming method is applying the primer using the "wet-on-wet" technique, which will ensure deep enough penetration of the substrate. In this circumstance it is necessary to dilute the primer with drinking water in a ratio 1:1. More water is required when the temperature exceeds 30°C or when working on a warm surface. With less absorptive surfaces it is possible to dilute with water or use undiluted.
It can be applied with various tools such as brush, roller or spray, depending on the absorption of the surface and porosity. A test should be performed on a few square metres to estimate the number of layers and consistency required.
1 to 3 layers are recommended. Subsequent layers can be applied after 2 hrs.

Please bare in mind the following:
An over-primed surface will cause paint smearing on the primed layer (looking up towards the light the surface reflects light like glass). To cure this problem, dilute the paint until it is of sufficient consistency to "catch" on the over-primed surface.

The absorptive quality of the surface should be directly compared using sprayed water droplets with a sample of low absorptive material (e.g. plasterboard) until such time as they are similar. Highly absorptive surfaces greatly reduce the efficiency of paint, and thus increase costs.
After drying the coating is transparent, waterproof and vapour-permeable.

EFFICIENCY:
Average total usage depends totally on the reason the primer is being used. For very absorptive surfaces it could be 0.15 -0.22 l/m2. For strengthening and regulating the absorption for surfaces with medium absorption the usage will be 0.08-0.14 l/m2. For new surfaces where we are balancing the absorption between different materials (e.g. plasterboard and joining materials), usage will be close to 0.05 l/m2.

STORAGE, USE AND TRANSPORT:
TIEF PRIMER-H should be stored, used and transported in its originally closed packaging at a temperature of +5° - +35°C (also includes surface temperature) and in clean dry conditions. Protect from frost.

BEST BEFORE: 2 years from date of production.
