  • A sophisticated fast drying pure acrylic polymer
  • Increases adhesion for Ames' coatings and paints
  • Penetrates into the surface
  • Can apply with commercial airless sprayer
  • Seals water out
  • Resists cracking and peeling
  • Stays elastic - even at -35 degrees F.

  • Bonds surfaces together
  • Water Clean-up

Ames Research Laboratories' Super Primer is a unique, elastomeric plastic sealant, primer and adhesive for concrete, tile, rubber, wood, metal, and many hard-to-stick surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the surface to actually bind together the molecules of the surface it is being applied to. Rotting and deteriorating surfaces can be restored to a somewhat new condition and often the surface life can be extended for one or more years of usefulness. Super Primer adhesive sealant strengthens and helps preserve surfaces from mildew and moss formation, and stops concrete efflorescence. With up to 100 to 300% elasticity, Super Primer is able to move with the surface as it expands and contracts. Super Primer is highly resistant to cracking and peeling. It is easy to apply, simply roll, brush, or spray it on. Super Primer is pearlescent white in liquid form, and dries to a clear finish. Super Primer dries rapidly to a slight tack in 10 - 20 minutes at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and even faster with sun contact.
