3. DESCRIPTION
TEC
®
Multipurpose Primer is an acrylic latex based primer for use with TEC
®
brand self leveling underlayments. It may also be used to enable the bonding
of other TEC
®
brand surface preparation products and latex modified thin set
mortars to difficult substrates such as metal, glazed ceramic tile, gypsum based
underlayments and concrete treated with certain types of curing compounds
(silicate or acrylic resin curing compounds only) and well bonded epoxy coatings.
Use to prime resin and metal backings on natural stone and install with latex-
modified thin set instead of epoxy mortar. For peel and stick tile installation,
primer can be used on dry, porous concrete, gypsum cement underlayments and
plywood. May also be used to promote bond over cold-rolled steel substrates.
Key Features and Benefits
• Multipurpose, one primer for all approved porous and non-porous substrates
• Easy to apply with brush or roller for non-porous surfaces, or push broom for
porous surfaces
• Enables installation of ceramic tile or natural stone directly to metal, gypsum
underlayment, glazed tile (without scarifying) and well bonded epoxy coatings
• Solvent-free, low VOC
• Contributes to LEED

* Second coat is required if initial application is rapidly absorbed and dries in less than 1 hour. For second
coat, primer to water ratio is 1:2.
** Silicate or acrylic resin curing compounds only.
Suitable Substrates
Suitable for use over the following clean, dry, structurally sound and unpainted
surfaces: concrete, cementitious backer units (CBU or cement board), exterior
grade plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), adhesive residue (except tacky or
pressure-sensitive adhesive), cold-rolled steel, existing ceramic tile, gypsum
substrates — minimum tensile bond strength 72 psi (0.5 MPa), VCT or
non-cushioned sheet goods if they are single layer only and well bonded to a
substrate approved for tile. For specific recommendations on other substrates,
please contact your TEC
®
representative.
Substrate Preparation
Remove all surface contaminates such as oil, grease, floor finishes, wax and dirt.
Remove adhesive by scraping until all that remains is a thin, transparent layer of
adhesive residue. Minimum tensile bond strength of 72 psi (0.5 MPa) is required.
For detailed substrate preparation information, refer to appropriate surface
preparation product data sheet.
Concrete curing compounds: for use over concrete treated with silicate or acrylic
resin curing compounds only. For silicate types, remove all residual salts. Install
sample test areas to evaluate bond strength. Samples must achieve minimum
72 psi tensile bond strength. Petroleum based or wax emulsions and dissipating
curing compounds are unacceptable and must be removed by mechanical means
such as shot blasting.
Storage
DO NOT FREEZE. TEC
®
Multipurpose Primer must be stored in an unopened
container in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight and protected from weather.
Shelf Life
Maximum of 1 year from date of manufacture in unopened package.
Limitations
• Do not apply over wet areas.
• Do not use in areas subject to hydrostatic pressure.
• Not for use as a wear surface.
Cautions
Read complete cautionary information printed on product container prior to use.
