Topciment — Primacem ABS

Practical guide for priming absorbent substrates prior to microcement application.

Suitable Substrates

Use Primacem ABS on absorbent surfaces to saturate the substrate and provide strong adhesion. The product is ready-mixed and can be applied directly from the packaging onto the following substrates:

• Plaster and plasterboard (drywall)
• MDF and other absorbent wood/board materials
• Tile adhesive, self-leveling screed, and concrete
💡 Tip for Tile Adhesive, Screed & Concrete: On these substrates, both Primacem ABS and Acricem Resin function effectively as bonding primers.

Preparation & Application

Substrate: Ensure the surface is completely dry, clean, rigid, and free from grease, oil, or sanding dust.
Flatness: Level the substrate carefully in advance. Microcement builds very thinly and will not conceal underlying irregularities.
Execution: Roll or brush out the primer evenly to cover the entire surface without dry patches. Maintain working temperatures between +10 °C and +30 °C.
Number of Coats: Apply typically in 1 fully covering coat.

Drying Times & Application Window

The primer is touch-dry after approximately 20–30 minutes under normal room ventilation and temperature. Use a fan if necessary to accelerate drying.

Application Time Window:
• Wait at least 30 minutes after priming before starting to trowel, ensuring the film is completely dry.
• Trowel the first coat of microcement within 24 hours of the primer drying.

Next Steps: Reinforcement & Base Coat

Once the primer has dried, proceed with reinforcement mesh and base coat application:

🛑 Safety & Protective Equipment:
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during application.
• Ensure adequate room ventilation.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
