Installation Guide

DESCRIPTION
ECO Prim Grip is a ready-to-use, low-VOC, synthetic resin-based primer with
bond-promoting silica aggregates suspended in a dispersion. It enhances the
performance and adhesion of mortars to existing ceramics and difficult-to-
bond-to substrates. Plus, it improves bonding of self-leveling underlayments
(SLUs) and bonds of render coats over cementitious substrates. Suitable for
a wide variety of substrates, ECO Prim Grip combines excellent versatility with
an easy, low-odor application.
