Description

EverStep’s EverPrime is an acrylic floor preparation solution designed to improve flooring substrates before the application of floor-covering adhesives. EverPrime will improve dry, porous substrates for a better bonding surface, help protect the adhesive from alkalinity damage and improve adhesive spread rate. EverPrime is suitable for use over APA approved flooring grade plywood, concrete or acoustical concrete and floor patch and can prevent over absorption of adhesives resulting in a better bond. EverPrime may also be used as a primer for gypsumbased substrates prepared in accordance with ASTM F2419. EverPrime is designed and warranted for use only in conjunction with EverTite Adhesive.

Preparation

The smoothness and cleanliness of concrete subfloors must meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM F710. Fill all holes and cracks with a latex fortified Portland cement based patching compound. EverStep only recommends the use of latex fortified Portland cement based products as a satisfactory patching or leveling compound. The floor should be flat 3/16” in a 10 foot span. The installation site must be acclimated with HVAC in operation. The installation site, as well as flooring materials and adhesive, must be maintained at 65°-85°F, and the humidity between 45-65% for 48 hours prior to, during, and continuously after the installation. Read technical bulletin for floor preparation before using this product. This document may be obtained by calling EverStep Flooring at 844-296-4669.

IT IS THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO DERTERMINE THE SUITABLITY OF THE SUBSTRATE FOR USE WITH THIS PRODUCT.

Application Methods and Coverage: 3/8” nap roller: 350–400 square feet per gallon – Make certain to keep the applicator roller wet with material.
Sprayer application: 400–500 square feet per gallon – Overlap spray pattern to ensure full coverage.

Do not use EverPrime if solvent or chemical cleaners have been used. Patching or leveling of substrate must follow EverStep’s application and curing instructions prior to applying EverPrime. Perform a bond test with EverPrime over any patching compound before general application of either. Do not use EverPrime in combination with any other sealer or encapsulant. Do not use EverPrime to encapsulate cutback adhesive residues. EverPrime cannot be used as a moisture sealer. The floor and room temperature, as well as the EverPrime should be between 65°–95° F and the humidity should be between 10%–65% for 48 hours prior to, during, and after the installation. EverPrime is not recommended for use in conjunction with polyurethane-based adhesives.

Clean up

Clean up spills with soapy water. Dried residues may require the use of a solvent remover. Containers must be kept tightly closed when not in use.

Substrate Conditions

Installations of on or above grade porous concrete substrates with up to 85% in-situ RH (per ASTM F2170), and a pH of 8.0-12.0.

Limitations

• Not for outdoor use.
• Do not allow a product to freeze.
• Not to be used as a moisture sealer or adhesive encapsulant.
