GARON PRIME™: The Essential Epoxy Mortar Primer

When it comes to preparing concrete surfaces for coatings, GARON PRIME™ stands out as a reliable solution. This 100% solids epoxy primer is designed to enhance adhesion, ensuring that subsequent coatings bond effectively to the substrate.

What is Garon Prime?

GARON PRIME™ is a high-performance epoxy mortar primer designed to prepare concrete surfaces for coatings. As a 100% solids formula, it works by penetrating the surface to promote strong adhesion between the concrete substrate and the topcoat. It is typically applied using a roller and comes in premeasured kits to simplify the mixing and application process. With a quick cure time and reliable coverage, GARON PRIME™ is an essential first step in achieving long-lasting, professional-grade results in floor coating systems.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply GARON PRIME™

  1. Prepare the Surface
    Clean and dry the concrete surface. Remove oil, dirt, or debris to ensure proper adhesion.
  2. Mix the Primer
    Use the premeasured kits provided. Mix the components thoroughly until uniform in color and consistency.
  3. Apply Evenly
    Using a 3/8" hair nap roller, apply a uniform coat across the prepared surface.
  4. Curing Time
    Let the primer cure for 4–6 hours at 70°F before applying any topcoat.

What is Happening in the Video Down Below?

The video demonstrates the proper technique for applying GARON PRIME™. You can see a technician prepping a floor, mixing the two-component primer, and rolling it onto the surface. The video emphasizes clean application, even coverage, and working within the open time to avoid poor bonding. It also shows how the primer begins to saturate the concrete, sealing pores and creating a tacky surface ideal for bonding.

Why Primers Matter

Primers are the foundation of any high-performance floor coating system. They penetrate the substrate, seal the surface, and improve the mechanical bond between the concrete and topcoat. Skipping this step can lead to delamination, bubbles, and premature wear. GARON PRIME™ minimizes those risks by delivering consistent coverage and strong adhesion.

Your Project's Best First Step

A flawless floor begins with proper prep—and GARON PRIME™ is the trusted start to that process. By creating a bond-ready surface, it ensures your topcoat performs to its full potential. For any industrial or commercial coating project, GARON PRIME™ is the smart choice to lock in durability from the ground up.
