DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION: Bonding primer for concrete floors; Self cross-linking epoxy,
low odor and low VOC.
Primer for:
3 Water-based floor paints 3 Water-based textured coatings
3 Water-based concrete stains 3 Preferred Primer for SEAL-KRETE Epoxy-
Seal and Floor-Tex
Important: Read all directions thoroughly. Recommended: Wear gloves and
safety glasses.
SURFACE PREP*: Note: Proper surface prep is critical in stopping hot tire
pick-up and to product performance. The surface should be clean, dry, sound
and free of dirt, dust, oil, wax and grease. You may need an oil stain remover
such as SEAL-KRETE Oil Stain Remover to lift stubborn oil stains. For best
results, pressure wash substrate prior to etching.
Bare, Smooth Concrete: Concrete must have cured a minimum of 30
days prior to application. Etch surface with SEAL-KRETE Clean-N-Etch
to allow for proper penetration and adhesion. Smooth-troweled concrete
may require two applications of Clean-N-Etch to ensure concrete has
proper profile (surface should have the texture of 150 grit sandpaper).
Rinse thoroughly; allow to dry.
Bare, Broom-Finished Concrete: Remove all dirt, grime, grease and oil
with a mild solution of CLEAN-N-ETCH (see container for dilution rates) or
TSP (tri-sodium phosphate).
Painted Concrete: Adhesion of final topcoat is always dependent on the
integrity of previously applied coatings (existing paint must be sound, not
blistering or peeling). Pressure-wash to ensure loose or peeling paint is
completely removed. Degloss the existing paint with 120–150 grit sand-
paper, prior to cleaning with a mild alkaline cleaner such as TSP. Rinse
thoroughly; allow to dry.
APPLICATION: Read “LIMITATIONS” section before use. Lock-Down is ready
to use. Do not dilute. Stir gently prior to use. Avoid creating air bubbles. DO
NOT PUT IN PAINT SHAKER – this will create foam. One thin coat is recom-
mended. If the concrete is still chalky or very porous a second coat can be
applied after the first coat has dried to touch (usually two to four hours).
Lock-Down must be allowed to dry a minimum of 2 hours to ensure
proper adhesion of topcoat. Topcoat should be applied shortly there
after for best adhesion.
Note: Primer goes on milky white, but dries clear.
Roller: Dampen roller, remove excess water and then saturate roller with
product. Keep a wet edge while rolling. Do not let product puddle. Back
rolling is required. (Use a 1/4" to 3/8" roller for smooth surfaces or a 1/2"
roller for rough; porous surfaces such as broom finish concrete driveways
or sidewalks).
Pump Sprayer: Set at a fine spray and apply using a circular motion,
backrolling when required to eliminate puddling.
COVERAGE: 250 sq. ft. per gallon on broom finish concrete; 500 sq. ft. per
gallon on smooth concrete floors; 500 sq. ft. on previously painted surfaces.
Actual yield may vary based on nap or roller used.
CLEAN-UP & STORAGE: Clean tools with soap and water immediately after
use. Store in dry area. Do not let product freeze.
LIMITATIONS: Temperature should be 50° to 90°F (10° to 32°C) and
should not fall below 50°F within 24 hours of application. Do not apply if
rain is expected within 24 hours. Do not use below grade. Use only with
one-part water-based products. Primer must be allowed to dry a minimum
of 2 hours before topcoating. When used outdoors, this product must be
topcoated with an opaque coating. Do not use as a clear coat or primer for
a clear coat.

WARNING: EYE IRRITANT.
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF

FIRST AID: If inhaled, move to fresh air. If on skin, wash affected area
with soap and water. If in eyes, remove contact lenses, if worn, and
flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. If ingested, give two
glasses of water for dilution and do not induce vomiting. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention.
