What is epoxy primer?
Epoxy primer provide excellent metal adhesion, and also act as a proper base for extra undercoat and top coat products. Epoxy primers are also commonly used to coat metal cans and containers, especially those used to contain acidic food, such as tomatoes. It is applied directly to concrete so that the surface is not affected by heavy materials and remains durable for a long time. We at Zigma Paints Pvt.

BENEFITS OF AN EPOXY FLOOR PRIMER
Prior to coating your flooring, there are numerous advantages to applying an epoxy floor primer:
• Epoxy primers are thin and provide better adhesion as they ...
... penetrate into the concrete substrate to enable better bonding.
• When using thicker epoxy base coats, primers have a stronger chemical bond. This results in a longer lasting floor coating and a more durable one.
• Elimination of air bubbles and pinholes formed as a result of concrete outgassing
• Ability to achieve greater dry film thickness and uniformity of the coating since it is not soaked in the concrete.
• Effective in providing concrete flooring with moisture resistance that has issues with humidity.
• For concrete flooring, primers form a tenacious waterproof barrier that is devoid of an effective Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) that usually results in virtually any surface lifting and peeling of paint.
• Most epoxy primers are moisture tolerant and work well when applied to concrete that has not been completely dried or etched with acid.
• Some primers are specifically manufactured as oil blocking primers. These solvent based primers are designed to cover concrete that has been contaminated by oil and can’t be completely cleaned.
How Epoxy Primer works on flooring applications?
The foundation of your floor coating system is an epoxy primer. Without it, no matter what kind of epoxy you apply, your epoxy system won't work as well. The layer that you will build on with other base coats and topcoats is the epoxy primers. Usually, they are a bit more forgiving and, as they are thin, allow for much more coverage. Unless you use a single coat epoxy primer system, we strongly recommend that you use an epoxy primer on all concrete surfaces to achieve maximum durability, strength, and bondage that will lengthen the lifespan of your floors in turn.
By forming a chemical bond, primers bind to concrete. What you're actually doing when you mix your primer is creating a chemical reaction that initiates the hardening process. To achieve a strong bond, epoxy primers are formulated to seep into the pores of your surface. This binding would not be as effective if you were to apply a primer on an unprepared surface, which is why it is crucial to either acid etch and power wash or prepare your floor mechanically so that the primer can bind properly.
