Application

• Fixation of powdery and dusty substrates such as cement plasters and concrete, prior to painting with Elastocolor Paint.
• Protection of wet repair mortars from the Mapegrout line against rapid evaporation of mixing water by sun and wind.
• Impregnate absorbent surfaces such as cement and lime plasters, asbestos cement and concrete slabs to bind dust.
• Pretreatment of repaired concrete with Mapgrout products before leveling with Elastocolor Rasante or painting with Elastocolor Paint.
• Pretreatment of new concrete before leveling with Elastocolor Rasante or painting with Elastocolor Paint.
• Direct paintable protection of wet plasters and repair mortars against rapid evaporation of mixing water, to prevent cracking in hot and windy weather.

Features

Elastocolor Primer is a ready-to-use fixative based on synthetic resins in solvent, developed by MAPEI. It penetrates deeply into absorbent substrates and provides excellent insulation and adhesion of the paint. As a post-treatment agent on wet repair mortars or plasters, it need not be removed before applying Elastocolor Paint. When used on cured surfaces, painting can be done after 5-6 hours (at +20 °C). As a post-treatment agent, wait 3 weeks before repainting. Meets UNI 8657 and UNI 8658 standards for aftertreatment products.
