PR 200 Epoxy Primer

This is our most-specified primer because it solves problems that are common to a variety of different surfaces. The chemistry of the primer gives it a very high bond strength. It also has the flexibility to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the surface underneath. In addition, the formula's  curing agent increases resistance against moisture and chemical attack.

EPHB CR High-Build Primer for ESD Coatings & Special Non-ESD Applications

This high-build primer is designed for ESD applications and areas requiring a tougher, more rigid primer. The product is easily applied, and penetrates deep into the concrete. The result is a primed surface that works in conjunction with Garland's ESD-control coatings. It is ideal for applications involving static-sensitive products or equipment.

WB (Water-Borne) Primer

This primer is ideal for applications requiring a water-based, urethane or epoxy topcoat. It provides high bond strength and good flexibility. Because it is water-based, it is permeable, allowing some moisture to pass through the coating.

Primers for Special Surfaces

PR 300 Vinyl Tile Epoxy Primer

Developed specifically for use over vinyl tile, this epoxy primer combines high strength and flexibility. It is formulated with a special curing agent that provides extra bond strength, assuring a secure bond to the tile. At the same time, its flexibility enables the primer to move with the natural flexing of the tile, so it won't loosen. PR 300 is also suitable as a primer for ESD applications where a static-control coating is being applied over vinyl tile.

Primers for Harsh Conditions

PR 510 Oil-Tolerant Epoxy Primer

This unique, 100% reactive primer dissolves oil from the concrete, making it ideal for applications where the surface is exposed to oils from machinery or processing. The product's special formulation allows it to dissolve oil by making the oil compatible with the epoxy. As a result, it provides a superior bond to concrete in applications where oils can cause other primers to fail.

PR 520 Moisture-Tolerant Epoxy Primer

In environments where moisture is present, this 100% reactive epoxy primer reacts with water at the concrete surface, allowing for a superior bond. As a result, this primer is recommended for applications where the floor has higher moisture readings (hydration or moisture transmission).

Static-Control Primers

ESD PR1 Conductive Black Primer

If a conductive floor coating is required, ESD PR1 can be applied as a base coat before using an ESD topcoat (2.5 x 10⁴ - 10⁶ range). It should not be used with an ESD urethane topcoat.

ESD PR3 Static-Dissipative Black Primer

This primer was specially formulated to be used with Garland's Chemi-LDR 610 Slurry Coating when a static dissipative floor is required. ESD PR3 allows Garland to be flexible when designing a system to meet your needs. It is a 100% solids epoxy system.
