Use before bonding polyolefins with a Loxeal super glue: Prime the surface, then bond with Istant 23, Istant 25, Istant 27 or Istant 43. Loxeal Primer 7 Polyolefin Primer 20ml Loxeal Primer 7 is a solvent-based surface primer that makes the “unglueable” plastics glueable. Applied before a cyanoacrylate super glue, it raises the surface energy of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic rubbers, EPDM, PTFE and silicones, transforming bond strength on these notoriously low-energy materials. It dries in seconds, is fluorescent under blue light so coverage can be checked, and is recommended for use with Loxeal Istant 34 and other ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives. Supplied in a 20ml bottle. Why choose Loxeal Primer 7? Unlocks polyolefins – makes PP, PE, PTFE, EPDM and silicone bondable with standard super glues Fast and simple – brush on a thin coat, wait a few seconds, then glue as normal Verifiable coverage – fluoresces under a blue lamp for quality control Long working window – primed surfaces stay active for up to one hour Ultra-thin, fluid consistency – roughly 1.5 mPa·s for even wetting of the surface Typical applications Bonding polypropylene and polyethylene parts, containers and housings PTFE, silicone rubber and EPDM components that resist ordinary adhesives Thermoplastic rubber grips, seals and trims Production and repair work on low surface energy plastics How to use Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Brush a thin coat of Primer 7 onto the surfaces to be bonded and let it dry for a few seconds. Apply your cyanoacrylate adhesive and press the parts together – handling strength develops within seconds. Bond within one hour of priming for best results; reapply primer if more than eight hours pass. Reseal the bottle immediately after use. Usage notes Primer 7 is intended only for difficult, low surface energy materials – do not use it on substrates that bond readily without priming. Best adhesion is achieved when parts are joined within an hour of application. Specifications Chemistry Aliphatic amine in organic solvent Appearance Colourless; fluorescent under blue light Viscosity (+25°C) 1.5 mPa·s Specific weight (+25°C) 0.7 g/ml On-part life Bond within 1 hour; reapply after 8 hours Shelf life 1 year in original unopened packaging at +25°C Pack size 20ml bottle Important notes Solvent based – use in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.

Selleys Liquid Nails VP30 Primer is a rapid-curing, water-based priming concentrate designed as a bridging primer in the Liquid Nails timber flooring system, supplied here in a 1L pack. It is used on concrete slabs and other porous or non-porous surfaces before levelling compounds or flooring adhesives go on, and it flashes off in about 30 minutes so the next stage of the job can start quickly.About the formulaA water-based hybrid polymer primer that is low in VOCs and low in odour. It changes colour as it dries, going on pink and turning red when dry, so you can see at a glance when a coat is ready. Once cured it will not re-emulsify in water, and tools and splatter can be cleaned up with water before the primer cures.Where to use itIndoors: as a bridging primer between Selleys VBS or VBS Rapid moisture barrier and self-levelling compound on concrete slabs, or to prime concrete before self-levelling compound is poured as part of a timber flooring installation.Outdoors: not intended for outdoor use. It is an interior product.Suitable for clean, sound concrete slabs and other porous or non-porous surfaces that will be topped with adhesives or floor skimming and levelling compounds. Check compatibility with your chosen flooring products before starting.How to use itStart with a clean, sound, dust-free surface and stir the primer well before use. Cut in the edges with a brush, then apply with a roller, brush or broom. Allow for roughly 6 to 10 m² per litre, depending on how porous the surface is. Leave a continuous film on the surface so the next layer bonds properly. Pour the primer out onto the floor rather than leaving it in the container, which keeps it cool and gives you more working time. Make sure the primer has dried clear and can be walked on without tackiness before pouring self-levelling compound. Good ventilation helps it cure faster. Clean up with water before the primer cures.Important notesCure time is about 30 minutes, depending on conditions. Very porous concrete or slabs with high moisture content may need a second coat. If the coating soaks away or you see dull patches or pinholes, apply another coat once the first has cured. If you are priming over a moisture barrier, make sure it is fully cured first. Do not apply over dusty or contaminated surfaces, and do not use on surfaces that are subject to standing water. Brushes and rollers are best discarded after use.Specifications Brand Selleys Product Liquid Nails VP30 Primer Size 1L Colour Pink when wet, red when dry Base Water-based Application Brush, roller or broom Cure time About 30 minutes Coverage About 6 to 10 m² per litre, depending on surface Clean up Water, before curing Use Interior SafetyUse with normal care: work in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and wear gloves and safety glasses. If product gets on skin, wash with plenty of soap and water, and if it gets in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

Gripset Betta Damp Stop is a one-part waterproofing primer and protective coating that helps hold back rising damp and moisture vapour moving through concrete, masonry and other porous mineral surfaces, supplied here in a 1L size. It suits renovators, tradies and confident DIYers who need a straightforward damp barrier under floor finishes, membranes and adhesives without mixing two parts together.About the formulaDamp Stop is a single-component, moisture-curing liquid in a light yellow colour. Because there is nothing to mix, you avoid the wasted product and short pot life that come with two-part epoxy primers. It is solvent free and odourless, so it can be used in confined areas. Once it has dried, it can be overcoated with other paints, coatings and adhesives. It also works as a dust-binding treatment for aged cement floors and dusty screeds.Where to use itIndoors: sealing the inside faces of cellar and basement walls against moisture vapour and dampness, priming floors ahead of membranes or finishes, protecting timber flooring, carpet and vinyl from rising damp, and stabilising dusty or aged screeds before floor finishes go down.Outdoors: priming external floors before a membrane is applied, and sealing the inner face of underground walls against residual moisture. The manufacturer lists it as suitable for internal, external, underground and immersed applications, and for resisting negative hydrostatic pressure.Suitable surfaces include concrete, cement mortar, renders and screeds, concrete and clay bricks, dense concrete, self-levelling compounds, compressed fibre cement sheet, fibre reinforced concrete, timber floorboards and sanded timber, and Hebel or other aerated concrete. For very porous, absorbent surfaces, or for metal and other smooth, shiny surfaces, the manufacturer points to other products in its range.How to use itStart with a clean surface, free of dirt, residues and old coatings. The surface can be damp but must have no surface water. Stir the product lightly, then apply with a short nap roller or short bristle brush. Leave 3 to 6 hours between coats and put the second coat on in the opposite direction to the first. Wait at least 24 hours, and make sure the primer is completely dry, before applying finishing membranes, coatings or adhesives.For high-build repairs, the manufacturer says to mix dry fine sand with the resin at about 3 parts sand to 1 part resin. Use a spatula for areas deeper than 1mm and keep the build to no more than 3mm.While still wet, tools can be cleaned with ethanol, methylated spirits or alcohol-based cleaners. Once dry, it has to be removed mechanically.Important notesDo not use over wet surfaces. Do not leave Damp Stop exposed as a finished membrane or sealer, as it is a primer. Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C. Because it cures with moisture, cool or dry conditions can slow drying. The quoted drying times are tack free in 2 to 4 hours and dry film (ready to overcoat) in 24 hours, based on 20°C and relative humidity above 60%.Specifications Brand Gripset Betta Product Damp Stop Waterproofing Primer Size 1L Colour Light yellow Type One-component, moisture-curing liquid primer Solvent content Solvent free, odourless Application Short nap roller or short bristle brush Coverage (vapour barrier primer) About 6 to 8 m² per litre Coverage (negative pressure / moisture) About 3 to 4 m² per litre Coverage (dusty screeds, aged concrete) About 6 m² per litre Recoat time 3 to 6 hours between coats Tack free 2 to 4 hours Dry film (ready to overcoat) 24 hours Application temperature 10°C to 35°C surface Use Interior, exterior, underground and immersed SafetyEven so, avoid contact with eyes and skin, wear gloves and eye protection while applying, and keep it out of reach of children.

Dy-Mark MetalPro Rust Converter is a tannic acid based rust converter in a 350g aerosol, made for treating rusted steel and iron without stripping back to bare metal. One coat reacts with the rust and leaves a black, moisture-sealing layer that can sit under most paint systems.About the formulaThe tannic acid formula chemically reacts with the rust. It turns it into a black compound that bonds to the surface and helps keep moisture out, which slows further corrosion. It is phosphoric acid free. The spray can makes it quick to apply over fences, gates and other awkward shapes, and the result is a black finish.Where to use itIndoors: rusted machinery, equipment and metal furniture that you plan to repaint.Outdoors: rusted gutters, roofs, garden furniture, fencing, gates, trailers and other machinery and equipment.Suitable surfaces are rusted steel and iron (ferrous metals). It is not intended for clean, rust-free metal.How to use itWire brush, scrape or sand off loose rust, flaking paint, dirt, oil and grease so the surface is clean and dry. Work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, and keep the surface cool and out of wind and direct heat. Shake the can well, then spray light, even coats over the rust until it is covered. For the best protection, overcoat within 3 months of treating the surface. Use Dy-Mark Primer first, then a Dy-Mark MetalPro Quick Dry topcoat colour. After use, invert the can and spray until only clear gas comes out, then wipe the nozzle tip clean. Follow the directions on the can.Important notesApply to rusted surfaces only, not as a rust-preventative coat on clean metal. It may not stop further rusting if applied over heavy, thick rust scale, so remove loose scale first. It is not recommended for permanent immersion in fresh or salt water. Do not apply zinc-rich primers or cold galvanising coatings over the converted surface. Test a small area first if you are unsure how it will suit your project.Specifications Brand Dy-Mark Product MetalPro Rust Converter (primer and sealer) Manufacturer part number 23803501 Size 350g aerosol can Colour Black finish Base / chemistry Tannic acid based, phosphoric acid free Application Aerosol spray Recommended overcoat window Within 3 months, with Dy-Mark Primer then MetalPro Quick Dry topcoat Use Interior and exterior rusted ferrous metal SafetyThis is a pressurised aerosol containing flammable solvents and propellant.

Bondall BondCrete is an Australian made bonding and sealing agent that has been a building and renovating staple since 1951, supplied here in a 1L pack. One product covers several jobs: a woodworking and craft adhesive straight from the container, a primer and sealer when diluted, and a bonding additive for cement, sand and render mixes.About the formulaA concentrated, high solids, water-based polymer product that contains a resin additive for strong bonding. It is white in the container and dries clear with no gloss. Because it is so concentrated, it can be diluted with water for most jobs, which stretches a single litre a long way. Bondall says there is seldom any need to hack, chip or acid etch most surfaces before bonding.Where to use itIndoors: tile bedding and fixing, bonding render or toppings to prepared surfaces, sealing and dustproofing concrete floors in covered areas, priming porous walls before water-based paint, and woodworking and general craft projects.Outdoors: Bondall directs that exterior sealing needs its separate paving and concrete sealer, and BondCrete is not intended to be exposed to water, moisture or dampness. Treat this product as an interior or covered-area product.Suitable materials include concrete, brick and other masonry, plaster, stone, tiles and timber, along with other porous surfaces.How to use itStart with a surface free of dirt, dust, oil, grease and loose or flaking material. Stir well before use. Dilution ratios from the manufacturer (BondCrete to water): Sealer coat: 1 part BondCrete to 4 parts water Bondcoat for bedding, render or topping: 1 part to 1 part water. Apply the bedding while the coat is still wet or tacky. Admix for cement, sand and render: 1 part BondCrete to 10 parts water, used in place of mixing water. As a guide, 1L makes enough admix for about 20kg of cement. Woodworking adhesive: use neat, applied to one surface only. Press the pieces together and clamp lightly. Allow a sealer coat to dry for about 24 hours before painting with a water-based or acrylic paint.Important notesUsed neat, it sets in about 30 minutes and reaches maximum strength after 24 hours. Cement mixes made with BondCrete still follow normal curing, with full cure at around 4 weeks. It is not suitable for bonding plastic, rubber, glass or other non-porous materials. It is not suitable for permanently wet areas. Do not seal a floor with it if you plan to use an oil-based paving paint or similar floor coating. Drying times vary with the application and temperature, so allow at least 24 hours between coats. Protect it from freezing and from extremes of temperature and direct sunlight.Specifications Brand Bondall Product BondCrete Bonding & Sealing Agent (Cement Additive) Pack 1L Colour White in the container, dries clear Base Water-based vinyl acetate polymer mix Application Neat from the container, diluted as a sealer or bondcoat, or mixed into cement as an admix Set time (neat) About 30 minutes Maximum strength (neat) About 24 hours Coverage (older manufacturer datasheet) About 3.5 m² per litre undiluted, up to about 35 m² per litre at 1:4 dilution Use Interior and covered areas Origin Made in Australia SafetySwallowing it may irritate the stomach and cause nausea and vomiting.

Dunlop Rapid Bond Coat is a water-based bonding coat that creates a chemical key on smooth, dense, non-porous surfaces, the ones ordinary primers struggle to grip. Applied before Dunlop adhesives, floor levelling compounds or Dunlop undertile waterproofing membranes (in non-immersed situations), it transforms slick substrates such as glazed tiles into a surface your next product can actually hold onto. It is the product that makes tile-over-tile renovations possible without demolition, and its rapid-drying formula keeps the job moving.Where to use itSuitable for indoor and outdoor use on walls and floors. Use it over glazed tiles, concrete, renders, screeds, masonry, AAC block, fibre-cement and compressed fibre-cement sheet, Scyon and internal sheet timber.How to useClean the surface thoroughly, degreasing glazed or dense substrates so nothing interferes with the bond. Apply a thin, even coat by brush or roller and allow it to dry before applying your adhesive, leveller or membrane. Being water-based, wet product cleans off tools with water.Important notesRapid Bond Coat is designed for smooth, dense and difficult non-porous substrates; for ordinary porous surfaces use Dunlop Multipurpose Primer instead. When used under waterproofing it is for non-fully-immersed applications only. Coverage varies with the substrate and application method.Specifications Size 1 litre Coverage Approx. 10m² per litre Substrates Glazed tiles, concrete, renders, screeds, masonry, AAC block, fibre-cement, Scyon, internal sheet timber Drying Rapid drying SafetyVentilate the room, wear gloves, and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
