- Full strength in less than 1 hour.
- Use over wide temperature range - even below freezing.
CONSIDERATION
- Substrate must be dry and free of dirt, waxes, curing agents and other foreign materials.
- Should not be installed on fresh concrete until maximum shrinkage has occurred (at least 30 days after placement).
- On or below grade installation must have an efficient vapor barrier under the slab (minimum 10-15 mil).
- Moisture Vapor Transmission must be less than 3 lbs per ASTM-F-1869 and less than 80% RH per
ASTM F-2170.

MIXING AND INSTALLATION
Epoxy.com Product #691 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Flooring Primer requires the addition of Epoxy.com Product #695 Hardener to start the hardening
process. The amount of hardener must be adjusted to the respective surface temperature (see table below). At temperatures below 40°F, Accelerator 101 must be used in addition to the amount of hardener
used at the 40°F level (about ° oz by vol./gal. @ 32°F up to 2.0 oz by vol./gal. @ -20°F).

Spread
Epoxy.com Product #691 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Flooring Primer
evenly on the surface (no puddles) with notched trowels, and/or squeegees
and back rolled with short nap mohair rollers at no less than 100 sq ft/gal. on very
absorbent surfaces. Two coats may be necessary to get an even, resin-rich surface to bond with the next layer.
It is recommended to broadcast 16-30 mesh quartz sand (approximately 4 lbs/100 sq ft) into the wet primer. This
will help in the application of the coating or troweled mortar. Apply next application only after the primer is
completely hardened.
