A polished concrete floor is closed and non-porous, so a coating laid straight onto it has almost nothing to key into.
Juno Imprimax 2k Synthetic Floor Primer is a silane-modified epoxy-polyamide primer, clear and semi-gloss. Its job is adhesion, not absorption: it gives the epoxy coats that follow something to bond to. It is for polished concrete where diamond grinding is not possible, and for non-porous surfaces like tiles and stoneware. 1L, 4L and 15L, brush or roller, interior only.
Coverage is 17.5 m²/L at 20 microns dry film, theoretical. Price a smooth floor off that figure and allow for porosity and texture on anything rougher.
Mixing it
- Ratio — 2 parts A to 1 part B, the same by weight or by volume. Weigh a part batch off a 15L kit rather than judging it by eye.
- Method — stir A in its own tub, add B slowly under mechanical agitation at low revolutions, then stir for 2 minutes until perfectly homogenised.
- Induction time — 15 minutes standing before any of it goes down.
- Pot life — 2 hours. Mix only what you can lay in that time.
- Dilution — do not dilute.
Drying and overcoating
Touch dry in 4 to 6 hours. The overcoat window is the one figure we will not give you yet: Juno's datasheet prints the label “Repaintable max.” twice with two different values — 8 hours at 20°C on one line and 48 hours at 20°C on the next. We have asked Juno which governs. Until we hear back, work to the 8 hours and get the following coat on the same day, and note the 20°C basis — an unheated Irish floor runs longer.
Conditions it has to go on in
- Above 15°C — through application and the whole curing period.
- Relative humidity 70% maximum, and no upward humidity.
- Substrate 3°C above dew point — a cold slab can sit at dew point while the air is above 15°C.
- Slab moisture 4% maximum, measured at 2 cm depth, and new concrete set a minimum of one month.
- Tensile strength 15 kg/m² minimum — the slab sound and free of dust, grout, grease and loose particles.
What it will not do
Interior only, and it is not a finish — a coating has to follow it. Not for a damp slab or one standing in the sun. Solvent-based and flammable: ventilate and keep ignition sources away. Tools clean off with Juno D-90 solvent, and a 1 m² test patch tells you whether the floor will hold the system.
