Acrylic latex-based multipurpose primer designed to promote adhesion of self-leveling underlayments, surface preparation products, and polymer-modified mortars to porous and non-porous substrates. Ideal for interior and exterior applications, including metal, glazed tile, gypsum-based underlayments, and epoxy-coated surfaces.
Tec 560 Multipurpose Primer — Acrylic Latex Bonding Primer for Challenging Substrates
Tec 560 Multipurpose Primer is a high-performance acrylic latex primer formulated to improve bonding of Tec self-leveling underlayments, surface preparation products, and polymer-modified mortars to a wide range of substrates. Engineered for versatility, it enhances adhesion on challenging surfaces such as metal, glazed ceramic tile, gypsum-based underlayments, concrete treated with compatible curing compounds, and well-bonded epoxy coatings.
This primer eliminates the need for mechanical scarification when installing over properly bonded glazed tile, simplifying preparation and saving installation time. It also enables bonding to cold-rolled steel and supports installation of resin- or metal-backed natural stone using polymer-modified mortar systems.
Solvent-free and low in VOC emissions, Tec 560 Multipurpose Primer supports environmentally responsible construction practices and contributes toward LEED project goals. Suitable for both interior and exterior use, it provides dependable adhesion for demanding floor preparation and tile installation projects.
