2 Getting the perfect floor the first time is all about the process. PROBOND Series 200, 300, and 400 gives you a comprehensive and complete system to subfloor preparation and covering application, as well as total peace of mind. SERIES Primer all purpose, recommended for most substrates SERIES Levelling Compounds making it simple to find the perfect solution SERIES Adhesives permanent & peelable for vinyl, carpet tiles, capping, coving and skirting

3 PROBOND PR260 All Purpose Primer is an acrylic primer (Styrene Butadiene) making it a perfect one-part primer for use on porous and difficult substrates prior to tiling or screeding. It also seals gypsum plasters and screeds prior to the addition of cementbased products. It is coloured green for easy identification. Coverage 1 litre neat = 10m 2 1 litre + 3 litres water = 40m 2 Drying Time Absorbent surfaces = 30-60mins Non-Absorbent = 45-90mins The importance of a good Primer Applying the right floor primer can vastly improve adhesion of levelling compounds to subfloors, resulting in a more secure installation and saving you time in the long run. It also maximises flow of levelling compounds and provides optimum strength development. The correct application of a suitable floor primer, helps control the absorbency and drying rate of your flooring adhesive and increases overall bond strength. Plus, priming significantly reduces drying shrinkage and improves resistance to water, shock, frost and chemical damage. We are able to recommend PROBOND PR260 for all of the following substrates: Anhydrite Screeds Concrete Electric Underfloor Heating Existing Ceramic Tiles Existing Natural Stone Tiles Existing Porcelain Tiles Existing Vinyl Tiles Fibre Cement Sheet Fibreglass Floating Floors Floor Grade Asphalt & Bitumen Green Screed Plywood Overlay Sand/Cement Screed Steel / Metal Surfaces T&G Floorboards Tile Backer Boards Wet System Underfloor Heating
