Aiflooring TerraPrime

Aiflooring TerraPrime is designed to be used as a concrete sealer or as a primer/build coat systems such as TerraSeal, TerraChip®, TerraQuartz® and TerraTono® . It has excellent adhesion to damp concrete and provides a blush free finish. TerraPrime is available in 2 curing speeds - TerraPrime and TerraPrime Redline. It is a two component 100% solids epoxy coatings cured with a polyamide. It is generally supplied clear.

Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits
  • Excellent Adhesion: May be applied over damp concrete(standard version).
  • Versatile: working time and rapid curing speed provide excellent versatilty for a variety of applications.
  • Quick Curing: Less downtime before final coating application.
  • Nonporous: Prevents chemical migration to the substrate which can cause disbonding and environmental contamination.
  • 100% Solids: Low odor makes it ideal for use in Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage facilities.

  • Production Lines
Application Overview
  • Environment

Apply when air, surface, and material temperatures are between 55°F and 100°F (RedLine version between 35°F and 90°F). The surface temperature must be at least 5° above the dew point to prevent moisture condensation.

  • Substrate

The concrete must be structurally sound and free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. When applying directly to concrete, the concrete must first be prepared by shot blasting, scarifying or acid etching to create a surface profile equivalent to 40-60 grit sandpaper.

  • Mixing

Part “A” should be mechanically pre-mixed for 60 seconds before adding Part “B”. After adding Parts “A” and “B” together, mix for 90 seconds. Do not hand mix.

  • Application

Immediately pour activated product on the substrate and, using a squeegee, pull out the material at the desired coverage rate.

  • Rolling

Using a 3/8” nap non-shedding roller, roll the product in both directions to ensure even coverage.

  • Recoating

If additional coats are desired, they must be applied within 24 hours, or the cured material must be sanded before application.

Recommended Uses
  • Concrete Sealer
  • Build Coat for anti-skid systems
  • Primer for thin film and decorative systems.
Maintenance

Do not wash the floor within 5 days of installation. Exposure to water before the floor is completely cured may dull the finish. Damp mop as needed with a clean mop head and clean, warm water with a mild detergent or degreaser. Rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving residue. When using a new cleaner for the first time, test clean an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the floor.

Technical Details & Test Data

Product Limitations
  • Rising Temperatures

Concrete will outgas during periods of rising temperatures. To prevent bubbling, always apply when the application and cure temperatures will be constant or decreasing.

  • Cracks

Moving cracks in the substrate are likely to transfer to the coating unless treated properly.

  • Moisture

All concrete surfaces should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating. Water vapor transmission upwards through on-grade (or below grade) concrete slabs may result in system failure. If moisture emissions exceed 3 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hours per ASTM F1869, or concrete relative humidity exceeds 75% per ASTM F2170, use of TerraPrime MM may be required prior to application of the coating system. Contact the manufacturer before application
