Aqua Primer | Prime Exposure

Prime Aqua Primer is a professional-grade, water-based acrylic primer developed specifically for Australian concrete and masonry surfaces. Engineered to deeply penetrate and bind, this primer ensures maximum adhesion and surface strength before sealing with Prime Aqua Top Coat.

Unlike traditional xylene-based primers, Aqua Primer is non-hazardous, low odour, and can be applied to damp surfaces. Its rapid drying properties let you topcoat in as little as 30 minutes, speeding up jobs without compromising performance.

Whether you’re protecting decorative concrete, internal floors, or external driveways — Prime Aqua Primer lays the foundation for a long-lasting, contaminant-resistant surface.

BENEFITS

• Water-based primer with penetrating power of xylene sealers

• Safe to use on damp or moist concrete

• Fast drying — topcoat ready in as little as 30 minutes

COVERAGE

Approx. 150–180 m² per 20L drum (depending on porosity)

APPLICATION GUIDE

Surface Preparation

• Ensure the surface is clean, degreased, and free of any contaminants.

• Pressure wash (above 2000 psi) for best results.

• Remove efflorescence and residues with a diluted acid etch (9:1 water to hydrochloric acid). Rinse thoroughly.

• Surface may be moist but remove any standing water before application (use a leaf blower if needed).

Application Method

• Shake or stir thoroughly before use.

• Apply evenly using a low-pressure spray, roller, or broom — avoid pooling.

• Let dry for 30+ minutes under mild weather conditions (10°C+, low humidity).

• Apply Prime Aqua Top Coat once surface is dry.

• Full cure in approx. 7 days.
