Fast curing low temperature acrylic primer and sealer. To be used with Flortex MC or Cretex MC (inc. Deepfill version), for use between 0°C to +30°C.

MC Primer is a two-part acrylic resin primer and concrete sealer with very rapid curing characteristics, providing an extremely tough and totally impervious coating with excellent chemical resistance. Its low viscosity formulation ensures maximum penetration into porous surfaces, actually strengthening the substrate.
Typical Uses
Due to its outstanding dustproofing and surface hardening properties, MC Primer may be used as a concrete sealer without further coating. As a primer, it is compatible with a range of acrylic resin-based repair materials and floor coatings such as Polycote Cretex MC, Cretex MC Deepfill and Flortex MC. Its very rapid cure time makes MC Primer ideal for use in areas of constant traffic where disruption must be minimised.
Suitable Substrates
MC Primer may be applied to old and new concrete. It should not be applied until the concrete has been cured for a minimum of 1 month or until the moisture content is 5% or below.
Colour
MC Primer is colourless and translucent.
Packaging
MC Primer is supplied in pre-measured quantities as a two-part system, comprising of a 5L unit of acrylic resin Part ‘A’ and a powder hardener Part ‘B’.

Pot life: 10-12 mins
Application temperature: 0°C to +30°C
Cure time: 60-90 minutes
Number of parts supplied: 2
Coverage: 15-20m² per 5kgs unit

Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.

Surface Preparation
THOROUGH SUBSTRATE PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL.
Powerfloated concrete – use a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster to remove weak laitence and provide a surface key for the coating. If this is not possible, chemically etch with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Loose paint – remove, using a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster, Floor Grinder or equivalent method.
Loose or friable concrete – use a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster. If this is not possible, chemically clean with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Oil or grease – use Hot Compressed Air for large areas of contamination. Smaller, isolated deposits may be chemically cleaned with Polycote Degrease IT, then rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry.
See relevant Data Sheet prior to application.
ONCE PREPARED, THE AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND FREE OF TRAFFIC.
Caution – MC Primer is methyl methacrylate based and has a characteristic odour during the vaporising of the solvent. Although non-toxic and non-injurious to health, this can cause tainting and OPEN food products should therefore be removed or sealed during and following application until the vapour has dispersed.
Mixing
BEFORE MIXING THIS PRODUCT YOU MUST BE TOTALLY PREPARED for rapid uninterrupted application of the complete mixed quantity WITHIN 10 MINUTES.
Thoroughly shake the resin to ensure dispersion of the contents, then pour all the contents into a clean plastic bucket. Add the hardener powder and thoroughly mix for at least 3 minutes. For best results use a heavy-duty slow speed drill with a mixing paddle.
Application
Immediately apply the mixture using a brush, roller or squeegee, making sure that the surface is completely covered. Particular attention should be given to doorways and other areas of high traffic. When finished, do NOT scrape the remaining contents from the container as this will invariably include unmixed raw resin.
When priming for Flortex MC – it is advisable to scatter kiln dried quartz aggregate (0.3 – 0.6mm) into the wet MC Primer coating at a rate if 1kg/m² to increase adhesion of the repair material.
