Benefits of an epoxy floor primer
- Epoxy primers are thin and provide for better adhesion because they penetrate into the concrete substrate for a better bond.
- Primers provide for a better chemical bond of the thicker epoxy base coat which results in a longer lasting and more durable garage floor coating.
- Because of their thinner nature, epoxy primers help to eliminate bubbles and pinholes that can form due to out gassing of the concrete.
- They allow for the subsequent base coat to achieve a higher dry film thickness and coating uniformity since it is not soaking into the concrete.
- Some epoxy primers are effective in providing a moisture barrier for garage floors that have light moisture problems such as efflorescence.
- Most are moisture tolerant and work well when being applied in high humidity areas of the country or concrete that has not fully dried from being cleaned or acid etched.
- Some are specialized such as oil blocking primers. These are solvent based primers made to cover concrete that has been contaminated by oil and can’t be completely cleaned.
