Description
Mr. JO Primer – AS is a two-part, solvent-free epoxy primer. It is flowable and non-porous. So, it is easy to apply. Moreover, it controls electrostatic charge with resistance up to 10⁹ Ohms. As a result, it forms a smooth and strong base for flooring. Additionally, it enhances safety in sensitive areas.

- Antistatic coating
- Surfaces should be freed from laitance and dust by sand-blasting. In case sand blasting is not possible, thorough abrading with a hard wire brush should be preferable.
- Suitable degreasing agent should be used to remove any grease, oil or traces on the surface.
- Mix the two components together thoroughly for at least 2 minutes so as to achieve uniform mixing and thorough consistency of the mix. Apply the mix using brush or spatula to the pretreated surfaces.
- Allow 4-5 hours for surface to dry and 24 hours to achieve full strength.
A1. MR. JO Primer – AS is a black, antistatic epoxy primer used as the base layer in electrostatic dissipative (ESD) flooring systems. It is essential for:
- Preventing electrostatic buildup
- Ensuring conductivity in antistatic epoxy floors
- Providing a grounded base for subsequent ESD topcoats
A2. It is used in areas where electrostatic control is critical, such as:
- Electronics assembly areas
- Server rooms and data centers
- Cleanrooms and laboratories
- Explosive or flammable processing zones
A3. The mix ratio is 100:30 by weight (resin : hardener). It must be mixed thoroughly to activate its antistatic performance.
Q4. Can this be used with regular epoxy topcoats?A4. No. Primer – AS is specifically designed to be used underneath antistatic or conductive epoxy topcoats. Regular topcoats will negate the ESD properties.
Q5. How do I apply MR. JO Primer – AS?A5.
- Ensure the concrete is clean, dry, and properly grounded (if required)
- Mix resin and hardener (100:30 PBW) thoroughly
- Apply using a trowel
- Allow to dry to a uniform matt finish before applying topcoat
- Avoid pooling or shiny areas
A6. Shiny spots indicate non-uniform surface resistance. These must be:
- Lightly sanded or abraded with fine-grit sandpaper
- Cleaned before proceeding to apply the antistatic topcoat This ensures consistent electrostatic dissipative performance.
A7. It cures to a black, matt-finish surface. Shiny spots must be corrected to avoid localized failure in conductivity.
Q8. What is the coverage and pot life?A8.
- Coverage: ~3–4 m²/kg depending on surface profile
- Pot Life: ~40–50 minutes at 25°C
- Recoating Time: 6–8 hours or once surface is touch-dry
- Continuity between the ESD topcoat and the grounded substrate
- Even electrical resistance across the flooring system
- Reduction in electrostatic charge generation and retention
A10. Yes. After curing, you can use a surface resistance meter to check for appropriate resistance values. Ensure contact points and grounding are in place before testing.
Q11. How should it be stored?A11.
- Store in cool, dry, sealed containers
- Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture
- Shelf life: 12 months unopened
