Multipurpose Bond-Promoting Primer
ECO Prim Grip is a ready-to-use, low-VOC, synthetic resin-based primer with bond-promoting silica aggregates suspended in a dispersion. It enhances the performance and adhesion of mortars to existing ceramics and difficult-to- bond-to substrates. Plus, it improves bonding of self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) and bonds of render coats over cementitious substrates. Suitable for a wide variety of substrates, ECO Prim Grip combines excellent versatility with an easy, low-odor application.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Ready-to-use gray latex, which is easy to apply with a roller or brush
- One-component, versatile primer for a wide variety of substrate conditions
- Single-coat application for faster turnaround and lower installation costs
- Low-odor and VOC compliance – great for use in interior, occupied environments
- Provides a rough keying surface ideal for polymer-modified mortars, render coats and leveling compounds, ensuring excellent bonding on smooth or low-absorptive substrates
- Easy handling and application properties
- Ideal primer for use with MAPEI’s SLUs
- Provides excellent bond strength with resistance to moisture and aging
- No shotblasting or abrasion is required, thus eliminating the resulting dust.

WHERE TO USE
- Interior and exterior applications
- Use over properly prepared ceramic tile, porcelain tile, vinyl composition tile (VCT), natural stone or exterior-grade plywood substrates before applying polymer-modified mortars or SLUs.
- Use over substrates that have a residue of well-bonded old cutback adhesive, floor-covering adhesive or polyurethane adhesive. Refer to “Surface Preparation” section.
- Also, use to improve the bond of SLUs on nonabsorbent surfaces such as ceramic tile, poured epoxy floors, cement and epoxy terrazzo and natural-stone floors.
- Use before application of SLUs over properly prepared sound and stable concrete substrates, whether they are smooth and nonabsorbent or profiled and absorbent.
- Suitable for improving the bond of all types of cement render coats on concrete, brickwork and concrete block substrates
