Primers and bonding agents are the cheapest line on a materials order and the most common cause of failure when they are skipped. A coating or screed is only as good as its bond to the substrate.

We supply water-based and solvent-based primers, latex and epoxy bonding agents, dust-proofing hardeners and curing compounds for fresh concrete.

Selection Guide

Choosing a Primer or Bonding Agent

Most coating, tiling and repair failures start at the interface. This is how the common primers and bonding agents differ.

ProductTypical usePoints to check
SBR or acrylic bonding agentBonding new cementitious repairs and toppings to old concreteCheck the open time; the mortar must go on while the bonding coat is still tacky.
Epoxy bonding agentStructural bonding of new concrete to oldHigher bond strength; follow the pot life and recoat window.
Penetrating primerDusty, porous or absorbent substrates before tiling, render or paintReduces suction and binds surface dust; not a repair material.
Epoxy moisture barrierSlabs with high residual moisture before flooringCheck the maximum moisture level stated on the data sheet.
Curing compound and surface hardenerNew slabs in hot weatherCuring compound slows moisture loss; confirm compatibility with later coatings.

Send the substrate, the finish that goes on top, the area and the delivery location. We will match the primer to the system so the data sheets agree. Request a quote or message us on WhatsApp.

Questions

Common Questions

Why do I need a bonding agent for a screed?

Without one, a screed laid over cured concrete can debond and hollow out under traffic. An SBR or epoxy bond coat makes the two layers act as one.

What is the difference between a primer and a bonding agent?

A primer seals and stabilises a porous substrate so the next coat does not lose its solvent or water. A bonding agent creates a mechanical and chemical bridge between two layers. Some projects need both.

Do you supply curing compounds for large pours?

Yes, in bulk drums. Tell us the slab area and we will quote the coverage required.

When is a primer needed under tile adhesive?

On dusty, absorbent or very smooth substrates, and on gypsum or old tiles. A primer controls suction and improves bond.

Does a bonding agent replace surface preparation?

No. The surface must still be clean, sound and free of laitance and oil. A bonding agent improves bond but cannot fix a weak substrate.
