abe keying slurry is an easy application acrylic primer for self-levelling screed

• Ease of application, single component product with a long open time
• Improves adhesion to substrate
• Reduces surface absorbency
• Suitable for internal & external applications
• Non-toxic

The base must be a firm and thoroughly cleaned concrete or screed. The substrate must be clean, sound, and free of any oil, grease, loose particles, cement laitance and other contaminants. Should compressed air be employed, ensure that the air is clean and oil free. The substrate must be well dampened, with no free water on the surface prior to applying abe^® keying slurry. Impermeable surface such as tiles are to be abraded (diamond grinder) to remove any seals or polishes and thoroughly vacuum cleaned.

5 – 6 m² per kg.
Note: Wastage and irregular surface profiles will reduce the practical coverage rates.

Stir the primer for a minimum of 1 minute prior to application.
Do not dilute.

The prepared surface is to be thoroughly saturated using clean water prior to applying abe.^® keying slurry. The surface saturation is generally carried out 1 to 2 hours before application but may require more depending on the substrate porosity, temperature and wind conditions. All excess free water must be removed. A saturated surface ensures ease of product spread and application, and reduces suction caused by porous substrates resulting in good bonding properties. Apply abe.^® keying slurry by brush or lamb wool roller to totally cover the area. Brush/roll out thoroughly to ensure full wetting of the surface. Ensure that the primer is tack free before application of the screed.

Clean tools and equipment with water before the material hardens.

Surface and ambient temperature must be at least 5 °C and growing, ideally between 20 °C and 30 °C.

abe^® keying slurry will be an acrylic based primer for self-levelling screed like abe.^®screed SLCP 25 in accordance with a.b.e.^® recommendations.

abe^® keying slurry is supplied in plastic buckets of:
5L (68216-005)
