High quality sanded exterior acrylic primer that helps solidify and protect the surface. Integrally colored Sanded Primecoat Primer helps make finishes brighter and deeper, reduces efflorescence and extends finish coverage rates. Suitable for priming Master Wall® base coats, new stucco, masonry and concrete that has a pH of 13 or less.


FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Sanded for a rough surface when applying finishes over very smooth surfaces
  • Tintable sealer/primer with good hiding power
  •  Hot prime capable for pH 13 or less
  • Reduces finish absorption for improved aesthetics and reduced finish color variations
  • Recommended for extreme color changes, under very dark, vivid or bright topcoats or when top tier finishing is specified
  • Extends finish coverage, required when spraying Superior Finishes and some specialty finishes
  • 100% Acrylic Polymers for durability
  • Water-based – easy clean up with water

Approved Substrates

  • Master Wall® Base Coats
  • Stucco
  • Brick
  • Masonry
  • Concrete
  • Interior Drywall
  • Previously painted surfaces with bond test
  • Others approved in writing

Substrate Recommendations
Concrete – If preparing for a textured or specialty finish, all projections must be removed and any voids filled with a Master Wall® base coat as needed to provide an appropriate surface.
Masonry – If preparing for a textured or specialty finish, skim coat with a Master Wall® base coat to achieve a smooth level surface. If joints are not struck flush, multiple coats may be required. Contact Master Wall for more information.
Stucco – If additives were used in the stucco, it is recommended that a test patch be made to evaluate bond strength of the Primecoat to the stucco.
Master Wall® Base Coats or Finishes, Previously Painted Surfaces, Cement Composition Siding – Install/Apply and prepare according to published guidelines. Surfaces should be clean, dry, cured and ready to receive coatings.


JOB CONDITIONS

Air and substrate temperature for application of Sanded Primecoat must be 40°F (5°C) or higher and must remain 40°F (5°C) or higher for a minimum of 24 hours. Provide temporary protection to protect the wall system from damage until permanent flashings, caps and sealants are installed. Store materials within prescribed temperature limits and out of direct sunlight. Working and drying times are based upon normal room temperature conditions and will vary with temperature and humidity.

PREPARATION

The substrate must be approved by Master Wall Inc.®, clean, dry, structurally sound and free of efflorescence, oil, grease, form release agents and curing compounds or anything that would affect bond. Concrete and masonry should be cured a minimum of 28 days, stucco cured a minimum of 7-14 days or surfaces verified to have a pH less than 13.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Mixing – Thoroughly stir Sanded Primecoat into a homogeneous consistency. Small amounts of clean, potable water may be added to obtain a workable consistency. Do not over mix. Do not exceed 24 ounces (0.7L) of water per pail. Do not add accelerators or retarders to Primecoat.
Application – Sanded Primecoat can be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray equipment. When using a roller, a maximum 3/4” (19 mm) nap is recommended. Apply Sanded Primecoat in an even, continuous coat of about 3 mils, maintaining a wet edge.

Limitations – Sanded Primecoat is not intended for use as the final finish coat over Master Wall base coats or other approved substrates.

FOR PROFESSIONAL RESULTS

  • Apply coatings away from direct sunlight. Cold joints or color variations can occur if the finish dries too quickly.
  • Under certain conditions dark colors may show efflorescence on the surface during the cure process.
  • Surfaces exposed to the weather must be sloped (6:12 minimum).
  • Use of dark colors in high temperature climates can affect the performance of the system, especially EIFS and areas may need to be limited.

CLEAN UP

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soapy water when Sanded Primecoat is wet.
