Product Information

Full details

The ProWarm Ultra Prime Surface Conditioner is an acrylic-based primer designed for porous building substrates like plaster, timber, and brick. It offers a significant benefit by increasing bond strength and improving water resistance for subsequent coatings. A key consideration is its limited shelf life of 6 months. This versatile conditioner primes, seals, and enhances the durability and flexibility of surfaces, preparing them effectively for various finishes.

FAQs

What types of surfaces can ProWarm Ultra Prime be used on?

It is suitable for porous building substrates such as plaster, timber, brick, and block work.

How much area does a 1-litre container cover?

A 1-litre container will cover up to 14m² per coat, depending on the porosity of the substrate.

What is the typical drying time?

The average drying time is approximately 30 minutes to an hour, but this can vary depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on painted surfaces?

It is designed for porous substrates. If the painted surface is sound and porous, it may be suitable, but testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended. It's primarily for unpainted, porous materials.

How should I store the product?

Store in airtight containers between 5°C and 30°C. It is crucial to protect the product from frost.

What is the shelf life of ProWarm Ultra Prime?

The shelf life is 6 months when stored correctly in airtight containers between 5°C and 30°C and protected from frost.

How do I clean my tools after use?

Tools and equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use, before the product dries.

Troubleshooting

Product is too thick to apply

Ensure the product has been stored within the recommended temperature range (5°C - 30°C). Do not dilute unless specified for a particular application by a professional.

Surface still seems uneven after application

The substrate may be highly porous, requiring a second coat after the first has dried. Ensure full coverage during application.

Poor adhesion of subsequent coating

Verify that the surface was clean and dry before application and that the Ultra Prime was fully dry before applying the next layer. Ensure the substrate is porous.

Product has dried out in the container

This can happen if the container was not properly sealed. Ensure lids are tightly closed after each use. If significantly dried, the product may no longer be usable.

  • Suitable for a wide range of common building substrates.
  • Fast drying time allows for quicker project completion.

Cons

  • Limited shelf life of 6 months.
  • Requires protection from frost during storage.
  • Coverage is dependent on substrate porosity.
  • Not suitable for non-porous surfaces.
  • Requires storage in airtight containers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material before application. Apply using a brush or roller. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for porous building substrates including plaster, timber, brick, and block work. Not recommended for non-porous surfaces.
