Concrete: If a curing compound has been used during hardening, the floor must be sanded with diamond, this can be easily checked by using the adhesion check. If water easily absorbs into the substrate, it is always advisable to roughen the floor by sanding it, this can be done industrially, but a grain of 60-80 is often sufficient to open the cement skin.
Sand cement screed: A frequently used finishing floor in home situations in garages, but also for example after installing underfloor heating. If possible, always roughen the floor with a 60-80-100 grit. Use the primer to remove the absorption of the substrate.
Anhydrite: The most important with an anhydrite floor finish, the floor contains little to no residual moisture (max. 1%). In addition, you should always sand an anhydrite floor finish. Roughen the floor intensively with a 60-80-100 grit.
Leveling compound: There are many types of leveling compound, the rule is that the leveling compound should no longer be wet, roughen the floor with a grit of 60-80-100 and use the primer.
Tiles: It is important to degrease tiles thoroughly and always use a primer to optimise adhesion.
Bluestone/Natural stone: The same applies as for tiles: degrease thoroughly and use a primer.
Linoleum: Applying a coating over a linoleum (or e.g. PVC substrate) is possible, but is somewhat more difficult and risky. It needs to be degreased and sanded very well with a grit of 80-100-120 to create adhesion, and always use a primer to strengthen the bonding bridge.
Wood: The coating system is excellent for use on a wooden surface. Always sand the wood with a grit of 80-100-120 and use the primer to encapsulate the fibres and remove the absorption. If the wooden floor is varnished or oiled, always sand and degrease extra well.
Plasterwork (walls): The coating can be applied vertically to (plastered) walls. Make sure the moisture is removed and apply the primer to promote adhesion.
Other substrates: If your project involves a substrate other than metal, asphalt or polyester , please contact us to explain your project. Our advisors may be able to help you with the application of the correct pretreatment or primer.
