X-Shield SF Primer PDF

X-Shield SF Primer is a high-performance, solvent-free primer suitable for use with epoxy coatings and floor systems. It has advantages such as meeting VOC limits, being formaldehyde-free, having low viscosity and penetrating surfaces well to enhance bonding. The primer has a pot life of 60 minutes, dries in 3 hours, and can be recoated within 6-24 hours. It should be applied in a single 100 micron wet coat by roller, brush or airless spray. Surface preparation requires cleaning and profile grinding to CSP 4-5 prior to moisture testing and application of the primer.

Application Guidelines
Epoxy coating and floor systems should be applied by
experienced coating crews. X-Calibur provides detailed
method statements on all its products for use in various
applications. These must be referred to prior to starting
work. The information below is a summary intended for
guidance only.
Surface Preparation
The substrate must be structurally sound. Loose
or unsound concrete should be removed and made good.
Surfaces must be entirely free of oil, grease, paint, corrosion deposits, dust, laitance or other surface deposits.
The surface should be prepared by captive blasting to
produce a lightly exposed aggregate surface i.e. a ICRI
CSP 4 or 5 surface profile. Any bug holes (blow holes)
should be filled with X-Shield BugFill or X-Shield Primer
Filler.

profile and can be up to 30% or more higher than
theoretical coverage.
Packaging

1 quart and 1 gallon packs - USA.
Shelf Life
18 months when stored below 30C (86F) under shade in a
dry environment.

Moisture Testing
The concrete slab should be tested for moisture with the
Rapid RH system following the procedure in ASTM
F2170. If the humidity reading is greater than 80% then
conduct moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) testing
using the procedure in ASTM F1869. (Both test kits are
available for purchase from X-Calibur). If the MVER is
under 3lbs/1000ft2/24h use X-Shield SF Primer. If the
MVER is 3 to 5 lbs/1000ft2/24h use a single coat X-Shield
MT Primer at 165 microns wft. If the MVER is 5 to 12
lbs/1000ft2/24h use two coats of X-Shield MT Primer at
200 microns wft per coat.
Mixing
Mix X-Shield SF Primer using the following technique.
Add the hardener Part B into the base Part A and mix
using a slow speed drill (500 rpm) with an X-Shield
Coating Mixer Paddle for 3 minutes or until both
components have fully dispersed and are uniform in
color. Be sure to rotate the mixer throughout the drum.
Mix only full packs.
Application
Apply a single coat of 100 micron (4mils) wet film
thickness using brush, roller or airless spray.
When using airless spray, tip size should be 0.015 to
0.0018 at a pressure of 2200psi. Allow to dry before
over coating. Ensure that no ponding of the primer

occurs and that it is not applied too thick. Recoat after 6


to 24 hours at 30C (86F). If the primer is left to dry for
more than 24 hours the surface will have to be
re-primed. Porous substrates may require a two coat
application. Clean equipment using X-Shield Solvent S.
Limitations
Will not accommodate movement cracks.
Do not be apply within 3C of the dewpoint or if it is
within 5C of the dewpoint and dropping.
Avoid excessive application.
Avoid skin contact.
Do not discard into the water system.
