- Features and Benefits
- Excellent Adhesion: Tenacious bond to prepared concrete.
- Blocks Moisture Migration:Allows for aiflooring systems to be installed where standard polymer systems would fail due to excess moisture migrating through the substrate.
- Quick Curing: Less downtime before final coating application.
- Nonporous: Protects flooring system from moisture in slab.
- 100% Solids: Low odor makes it ideal for use in Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage facilities.

- Application Overview
- Environment
Apply when air, surface, and material temperatures are between 55°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 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. Recommended thickness is 16 mils minimum, applied in 2 coats.
- 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
Moisture Mitigating Primer
- 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 15 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hours, use of TerraPrime MM may not be recommended. Contact the manufacturer before application.
