Flooring Primers

Choosing the Right Primer Starts with Understanding the Floor You're Working On Every flooring project begins with a substrate, but no two substrates are the same. Newly cast concrete, existing warehouse floors, porous or dusty concrete, damp surfaces and existing epoxy floors each present different challenges. Problems...

Antistatic Epoxy Flooring Systems Engineered Flooring Systems for Controlled Static Dissipation

Antistatic flooring is not defined by a conductive coating alone. Its long-term electrical performance depends on every layer of the flooring system—from substrate preparation and surface repairs to copper grid installation, conductive primer application and the final flooring layer. Whether the project requires a conductive floor...

MR. JO Underlay – iTMP How Fast-Curing Epoxy Screeds Help Reduce Industrial Downtime

In today’s manufacturing environment, downtime is often more expensive than the flooring material itself. Every additional hour spent waiting for repairs to cure can delay production, disrupt operations and increase maintenance costs. This is why fast-curing epoxy screeds have become increasingly popular for industrial floor repairs...

MR. JO Protectokot – CRH Why Chemical Resistant Protective Coatings Are Essential for Industrial Plants

Industrial facilities are designed to withstand demanding operating conditions, but many of the chemicals used during manufacturing can slowly attack unprotected concrete and steel. Acids, alkalis, solvents and aggressive process chemicals may not cause immediate damage, but repeated exposure can gradually weaken surfaces, increase maintenance...

MR. JO Matrix – SF How Carbon and Glass Fibre Wrapping Can Extend the Life of Concrete Structures

Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials ever developed, but no structure is designed to last forever. Over time, increasing loads, environmental exposure, corrosion, design changes and ageing can reduce the strength and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding, engineers...

MR. JO PRIMER – UPS When Concrete Isn’t Ready: Choosing the Right Primer for Under-Prepared Substrates

Every flooring contractor has encountered this situation. The concrete isn’t perfect. Moisture levels are still higher than preferred. The substrate cannot be dried further. Surface preparation has been completed as far as practically possible, but the shutdown window is limited and production cannot wait. In an ideal...
