BAL APD Primer 2.5L is a rapid-drying acrylic primer suitable for priming wall and floor backgrounds before the fixing of ceramics, mosaics and natural stone tiles in dry or wet interior and exterior environments. BAL Prime APD stabilizes dusty surfaces, reduces the porosity of backgrounds, and may be used undiluted on plaster walls, tongue and groove floorboards, and anhydrite screed floors. Use diluted on plaster walls (if dusty or porous) and cement floors.As a rapid-drying primer, BAL Prime APD produces cost and time savings for your project. It stabilizes backgrounds in ultra-quick time and allows for tiling with a suitable adhesive in 15-30 minutes. BAL Prime APD is suitable for various projects, including walls and floors, worktops, showers, heated screeds, and areas with limited movement or vibration. Typical coverage of BAL Prime APD is 5-10m2 per litre undiluted and 10-20m2 per litre diluted 1:1 with water.The BAL Prime APD Primer minimises the risk of reaction between the two materials and provides surface strength to friable surfaces. It reduces porosity, preventing air bubbles, prolonging the flow time of levelling compounds, and extending the open time of tile adhesives.SpecificationsUse ForPreparing floor and wall backgrounds before fixing of ceramic/mosaic and natural stone tilesDry/wet - interior/exteriorUse undiluted onPlaster walls/plasterboard when using a BAL cementitious powder adhesiveTongue and groove floorboardsAnhydrite screed floorsMay be tiled after30 minutesUse diluted 1:1 onDusty/porous plaster walls when using a BAL ready-mixed adhesiveCement: sand screed/concrete floorsAdvantagesStabilises dusty tiling substratesReduces background porosityTypical Coverage (per pack)SizeUndilutedDiluted 1:1 with clean water2.5L12.5 - 25m225 - 50m2
