PrimeKote

Magicrete PrimeKote is a high-quality, water-based primer that prepares surfaces for water-based paints or waterproofing coatings. It contains acrylic polymers, fine fillers, white pigments, and additives, providing excellent adhesion and resistance to efflorescence. It works well on both indoor and outdoor surfaces.

PrimeKote penetrates deeply, binding well to chalky or porous surfaces and creating a strong base for the next coating. It is especially effective on surfaces prone to efflorescence, like concrete, plastered walls, cement sheets, and brick or block walls. Its alkali resistance makes it perfect for high-alkaline surfaces, offering long-lasting protection and adhesion.

Available in 4-liter and 20-liter pails, PrimeKote is versatile for various construction needs, providing a reliable moisture barrier and enhancing the durability of the applied coatings.

To get the best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles before applying PrimeKote. It usually dries to the touch in 1-2 hours and fully cures in about 24 hours. Magicrete PrimeKote is essential for both residential and commercial projects, offering high-quality finishes and long-term protection.
