Kelmore PrimeMore Universal Primer
Kelmore’s PrimeMore Universal is a primer designed for use on porous/absorbent wall and floor backgrounds prior to applying tile adhesives or levelling and smoothing compounds. PrimeMore Universal regulates the porosity of the background, enhancing the workability, adhesion and strength of subsequently applied Kelmore products. When backgrounds are sufficiently primed using PrimeMore Universal, the surface finish of levelling and smoothing compounds will also be significantly improved. To help achieve total and uniform coverage, PrimeMore Universal is pigmented blue for enhanced visibility during application, and is suitable for interior and exterior use.

Walls, Floors, Interior, Exterior, Porous/Absorbent Backgrounds
Suitable backgrounds
Prime these backgrounds with one coat of PrimeMore Universal diluted 1:3 by volume with clean, cold water. Depending on the porosity of the background, additional coats may be required.
Cement:sand render, Cement:sand screed (inc heated), Concrete, Concrete blockwork, Plaster (finish coat), Plasterboard, Plywood overlay (class 3), Tile backer boards.
All priming coats must be allowed to dry before applying additional coats, and before applying tile adhesive or levelling and smoothing compounds.
Coverage
approximately 30m2 - 44m2 per litre when diluted 1:3
Preparation
Backgrounds must be sufficiently dry and strong enough to carry the total weight being applied. All surfaces must be clean, sound and free from contaminants that could inhibit adhesion, such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, laitance, and curing agents. Timber bases must be adequately ventilated and able to carry the additional static and dynamic load without deflection. Moisture sensitive backgrounds in wet locations will need protecting using Kelmore's waterproofing systems.
Dilution Ratio
1:3 - (1 part PrimerMore Universal to 3 parts clean water)
mix thoroughly.
Application & temperature
Apply the primer uniformly to the prepared background using a paint roller, sponge or brush. Do not over apply, and on textured backgrounds ensure the product does not pool in surface depressions. Depending on the porosity of the background, additional diluted coats may be required. Drying times will vary dependent on the site temperatures (air and background) and the porosity of the background. When applied at 20°C, PrimeMore Universal will dry in approximately 30 minutes. All priming coats must be allowed to dry before applying additional coats, and before applying tile adhesive or levelling and smoothing compounds.
