Solvent-Based Primer - Vinyfix Primer

Preparing the Surface:

• Make sure the surface is stable, clean, dry, and protected from rising moisture.
• Remove any poorly adhering materials and old coatings.
• Thoroughly clean the surface mechanically or chemically.
• If the surface has irregularities, you may need to mechanically prepare it to make it smooth and suitable for adhesion.
• Ensure the surface is flat, smooth, and continuous, without holes, cracks, or bays. If not, fill and smooth them appropriately, for example, by using putty.

Applying Vinyfix Primer:

1. You can apply Vinyfix Primer using a roller, brush, or airless spray.
2. For better penetration into non-porous surfaces, consider diluting the primer by 10% with solvent Neotex 1080.
3. If the substrate is highly porous, you might need an additional layer of primer.

Special Notes:

• Avoid applying Vinyfix Primer in wet conditions or if you expect wet conditions during the application or curing period.
• If more than 24 hours have passed between applying successive layers, lightly sand the surface of the previous layer to prevent potential adhesion issues with the next layer.

Follow these steps and special notes for effective use of Vinyfix Primer on your project.
