What is a surface primer used for in resin bound surfacing?

A surface primer is applied before installing resin bound surfacing to improve adhesion between the base surface and the resin bound mixture. It helps create a stronger bond, reducing the risk of movement or surface failure.

Which surfaces can resin bound primer be applied to?

Resin bound surface primer can typically be used on a range of prepared surfaces, including concrete, asphalt, and other suitable bases. The surface should be clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or contaminants before application.

How do I apply a surface primer before laying resin bound?

The primer is usually applied evenly to the prepared surface using a roller, brush, or suitable applicator. The resin bound material should be installed while the primer is still within its recommended working time to ensure the best adhesion.

How much area does resin bound surface primer cover?

Each unit of primer ordered will cover up to 6m² dependant on the porosity of the surface, and application conditions. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for the recommended coverage rate and application method.

Is surface primer necessary for every resin bound installation?

Using a surface primer is recommended for many resin bound installations as it helps improve the bond between the existing surface and the new resin bound layer. It can be especially beneficial on certain substrates where additional adhesion is required.
